A standard Hilbert-space proof of Dirichlet's principle is simplified, using an observation that a certain form of min-problem has unique solution, at a specified point. This solves Dirichlet's problem, after it is recast in the required…

We establish an approximate zero-one law for sentences of continuous logic over finite metric spaces of diameter at most $1$. More precisely, we axiomatize a complete metric theory $T_{\mathrm{as}}$ such that, given any sentence $\sigma$ in…

For an m by n real matrix A, we investigate the set of badly approximable targets for A as a subset of the m-torus. It is well known that this set is large in the sense that it is dense and has full Hausdorff dimension. We investigate the…

A Hausdorff measure version of W.M. Schmidt's inhomogeneous, linear forms theorem in metric number theory is established. The key ingredient is a `slicing' technique motivated by a standard result in geometric measure theory. In short,…

This paper is concerned with the analysis of a one dimensional wave equation $z_{tt}-z_{xx}=0$ on $[0,1]$ with a Dirichlet condition at $x=0$ and a damping acting at $x=1$ which takes the form $(z_t(t,1),-z_x(t,1))\in\Sigma$ for every…
