In this paper, we consider the finite element approximation for a parabolic problem on a smooth domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^N$ with the inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition. We emphasize that the domain can be non-convex in…
We solve a class of isoperimetric problems on $\mathbb{R}^N $ with respect to weights that are powers of the distance to the origin. For instance we show that if $k\in [0,1]$, then among all smooth sets $\Omega$ in $\mathbb{R} ^N$ with…
We prove that if E a subset of an n-dimensional manifold, then every continuous R^n-valued map on E that is zero-free on the interior of E can be approximated in the fine topology, and hence, in particular, in the uniform topology, by a…
In this paper, we prove a Poincar\'e-type inequality for any set of finite perimeter which is stable with respect to the free energy among volume-preserving perturbation, provided that the Hausdorff dimension of its singular set is at most…
For a Riemannian manifold $M^{n+1}$ and a compact domain $\Omega \subset M^{n+1}$ bounded by a hypersurface $\partial \Omega$ with normal curvature bounded below, estimates are obtained in terms of the distance from $O$ to $\partial \Omega$…
We show that if a compact, connected, and oriented $n$-manifold $M$ without boundary admits a non-constant non-injective uniformly quasiregular self-map, then the dimension of the real singular cohomology ring $H^*(M; \mathbb{R})$ of $M$ is…
We show that every bordered Riemann surface, $M$, with smooth boundary $bM$ admits a proper holomorphic map $M\to \Omega$ into any bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbb C^n$, $n>1$, extending to a smooth map $f:\overline…
We show that if $E$ is a closed convex set in $\mathbb C^n$ $(n>1)$ contained in a closed halfspace $H$ such that $E\cap bH$ is nonempty and bounded, then the concave domain $\Omega = \mathbb C^n\setminus E$ contains images of proper…
We derive upper bounds on the difference between the orthogonal projections of a smooth function $u$ onto two finite element spaces that are nearby, in the sense that the support of every shape function belonging to one but not both of the…
If $f$ is in the Eremenko-Lyubich class (transcendental entire functions with bounded singular set) then $\Omega= \{ z: |f(z)| > R\}$ and $f|_\Omega$ must satisfy certain simple topological conditions when $R$ is sufficiently large. A model…
Let $\Omega$ be a Lipschitz polyhedral (can be nonconvex) domain in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, and $V_{h}$ denotes the finite element space of continuous piecewise linear polynomials. On non-obtuse quasi-uniform tetrahedral meshes, we prove that the…
We prove that finite perimeter subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with small isoperimetric deficit have boundary Hausdorff-close to a sphere up to a subset of small measure. We also refine this closeness under some additional a priori integral…
We study symmetry and quantitative approximate symmetry for an overdetermined problem involving the fractional torsion problem in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^n$. More precisely, we prove that if the fractional torsion…
Let $E$ be a finite-dimensional normed space and $\Omega$ a nonempty convex open set in $E$. We show that the Lipschitz-free space of $\Omega$ is canonically isometric to the quotient of $L^1(\Omega,E)$ by the subspace consisting of vector…
We prove that a nonempty, proper subset $S$ of the complex plane can be approximated in a strong sense by polynomial filled Julia sets if and only if $S$ is bounded and $\hat{\mathbb{C}} \setminus \textrm{int}(S)$ is connected. The proof…
Let $\Omega$ be a domain in $R^n$, and let $N=3\cdot 2^{n-1}$. We prove that the trace of the space $C^2(\Omega)$ to the boundary of $\Omega$ has the following finiteness property: A function $f:\partial\Omega\to R$ is the trace to the…
We consider asymptotically flat Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative scalar curvature that are conformal to $\R^{n}\setminus \Omega, n\ge 3$, and so that their boundary is a minimal hypersurface. (Here, $\Omega\subset \R^{n}$ is open…
We establish the existence of positive solutions to a general class of overdetermined semilinear elliptic boundary problems on suitable bounded open sets $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$. Specifically, for $n\leq 4$ and under mild technical…
We study sets of finite perimeter in Wiener space, and prove that at almost every point (with respect to the perimeter measure) a set of finite perimeter blows-up to a halfspace.
For a non-empty compact set $E$ in a proper subdomain $\Omega$ of the complex plane, we denote the diameter of $E$ and the distance from $E$ to the boundary of $\Omega$ by $d(E)$ and $d(E,\partial\Omega),$ respectively. The quantity…
