We consider minimizing a nonconvex, smooth function $f$ on a Riemannian manifold $\mathcal{M}$. We show that a perturbed version of Riemannian gradient descent algorithm converges to a second-order stationary point (and hence is able to…

As one myth of polynomial interpolation and quadrature, Trefethen [30] revealed that the Chebyshev interpolation of $|x-a|$ (with $|a|<1 $) at the Clenshaw-Curtis points exhibited a much smaller error than the best polynomial approximation…

We consider an elliptic optimal control problem where the objective functional contains an integral along a surface of codimension 1, also known as a hypersurface. In particular, we use a fidelity term that encourages the state to take…

We study a broad class of polynomial optimization problems whose constraints and objective functions exhibit sparsity patterns. We give two characterizations of the number of critical points to these problems, one as a mixed volume and one…

We consider a stochastic version of the proximal point algorithm for optimization problems posed on a Hilbert space. A typical application of this is supervised learning. While the method is not new, it has not been extensively analyzed in…

We consider a family of spherically symmetric, asymptotically Euclidean manifolds with two trapped sets, one which is unstable and one which is semi-stable. The phase space structure is that of an inflection transmission set. We prove a…

We consider a class of non-polynomial spline spaces over T-meshes, that is, of spaces locally spanned both by polynomial and by suitably-chosen non-polynomial functions, which we will refer to as generalized splines over T-meshes. For such…

In this work we consider the problem of recovering non-uniform splines from their projection onto spaces of algebraic polynomials. We show that under a certain Chebyshev-type separation condition on its knots, a spline whose inner-products…

B-spline collocation techniques have been applied to Schr\"odinger's equation since the early 1970s, but one aspect that is noticeably missing from this literature is the use of Gaussian points (i.e., the zeros of Legendre polynomials) as…
