In this monograph, we prove an asymptotic approximation for integrals of probability densities over sets in finite dimensional euclidean space, which are far away from the origin (asymptotic sets). We use this approximation to investigate…

We establish several new inequalities linking classical exponents of Diophantine approximation associated to a real vector $\underline{\xi}=(\xi,\xi^{2},\ldots,\xi^{N})$, in various dimensions $N$. We thereby obtain variants, and partly…

Using a method of H. Davenport and W. M. Schmidt, we show that, for each positive integer n, the ratio 2/n is the optimal exponent of simultaneous approximation to real irrational numbers 1) by all conjugates of algebraic numbers of degree…
It is known that, for each real number x such that 1,x,x^2 are linearly independent over Q, the uniform exponent of simultaneous approximation to (1,x,x^2) by rational numbers is at most (sqrt{5}-1)/2 (approximately 0.618) and that this…
We obtain rates of convergence of numerical approximations of abstract linear parabolic evolution equations in Banach spaces. Our estimates extend known results from the literature of finite element approximations of parabolic equations to…
We address the estimation of quantiles from heavy-tailed distributions when functional covariate information is available and in the case where the order of the quantile converges to one as the sample size increases. Such "extreme"…
We consider a system of quasilinear elliptic equations, with indefinite super-linear nonlinearity, depending on two real parameters $\lambda,\mu$. By using the Nehari manifold and the notion of extremal parameter, we extend some results…
We study rational approximation properties for successive powers of extremal numbers defined by Roy. For $n\in{\{1,2\}}$, the classic approximation constants $\lambda_{n}(\zeta),\hat{\lambda}_{n}(\zeta),w_{n}(\zeta),\hat{w}_{n}(\zeta)$…
We introduce a new exponent of simultaneous rational approximation $\widehat{\lambda}_{\min}(\xi,\eta)$ for pairs of real numbers $\xi,\eta$, in complement to the classical exponents $\lambda(\xi,\eta)$ of best approximation, and…
For a given irrational number, we consider the properties of best rational approximations of given parities. There are three different kinds of rational numbers according to the parity of the numerator and denominator, say odd/odd, even/odd…
The extremal characteristics of random structures, including trees, graphs, and networks, are discussed. A statistical physics approach is employed in which extremal properties are obtained through suitably defined rate equations. A variety…
The classical multivariate extreme-value theory concerns the modeling of extremes in a multivariate random sample, suggesting the use of max-stable distributions. In this work, the classical theory is extended to the case where aggregated…
The purpose of this study is to investigate two related spatial branching models with the unbounded branching intensity. The objective is to describe the asymptotic behaviour of the extremal particle.
We consider the adjoint restriction inequality associated to the hypersurface $\{(\tau, \xi) : \tau = \pm|\xi|^2, \;\xi \in \mathbb{R}^d\}$ at the Stein-Tomas exponent. Extremizers exist in all dimensions and extremizing sequences are…
This paper is concerned with two extremal problems from matrix analysis. One is about approximating the top eigenspaces of a Hermitian matrix and the other one about approximating the orthonormal polar factor of a general matrix. Tight…
In this paper, we establish improved effective irrationality measures for certain numbers of the form $\sqrt[3]{n}$, using approximations obtained from hypergeometric functions. These results are very close to the best possible using this…
We study sufficient conditions on weight functions under which norm approximations by analytic polynomials are possible. The weights we study include radial, non-radial, and angular weights.
