W.M.Schmit[11] conjectured that for any$\;\theta$ with deg$\;\theta\geq 3,$ there is no constant$\;C=C(\theta)$ so that$\;|p-q\theta|>Cq^{-1}$ for every rationa$\;p/q.$ [12,p26] states that the computations of the first several thousand…
We establish an explicit maximum principle for the Dirichlet problem associated with the $p$-Laplacian ($p>1$), where the constant depends on both $p$ and the geometry of the domain. From this result we derive two main applications. First,…
The Faber-Krahn deficit $\delta\lambda$ of an open bounded set $\Omega$ is the normalized gap between the values that the first Dirichlet Laplacian eigenvalue achieves on $\Omega$ and on the ball having same measure as $\Omega$. For any…
We study decaying half-line Schr\"odinger operators and the local eigenvalue spacing of their Dirichlet restrictions. While absolutely continuous spectrum is strongly associated with bulk universality and clock behavior, singular spectral…
In this paper, we study solutions $u$ of parabolic systems in divergence form with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions in the upper-half cylinder $Q_1^+\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, where the coefficients are weighted by $x_n^\alpha$,…
Let $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a Hadamard lacunary sequence. We give upper bounds for the maximal gap of the set of dilates $\{a_n \alpha\}_{n \leq N}$ modulo 1, in terms of $N$. For any lacunary sequence $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ we…
We consider operators $-\Delta + X$ where $X$ is a constant vector field, in a bounded domain and show spectral instability when the domain is expanded by scaling. More generally, we consider semiclassical elliptic boundary value problems…
Inspired by the Li--Yau eigenvalue-diameter estimates, we investigate lower bounds for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue in terms of the diameter (or inscribed radius) of a graph. Let $G = (V, E)$ be a graph with boundary $B$. Assume that the…
We demonstrate a new approach to classical fiber-fed spectroscopy. Our method is to use a photonic lantern that converts an arbitrary (e.g. incoherent) input beam into N diffraction-limited outputs. For the highest throughput, the number of…
Fundamental questions in Diophantine approximation are related to the Hausdorff dimension of sets of the form $\{x\in \mathbb{R}: \delta_x = \delta\}$, where $\delta \geq 1$ and $\delta_x$ is the Diophantine approximation rate of an…
This work investigates upper bounds for the spectrum of the Steklov-type operator on Riemannian manifolds with boundary. We extend the Fraser-Schoen estimate for the first positive Steklov eigenvalue to higher Steklov eigenvalues, in terms…
For any $\alpha\in(0,d)$, we construct Cantor sets in $\mathbb{R}^d$ of Hausdorff dimension $\alpha$ such that the associated natural measure $\mu$ obeys the restriction estimate $\| \widehat{f d\mu} \|_{p} \leq C_p \| f \|_{L^2(\mu)}$ for…
In this paper, we discuss the 2D convection-diffusion-reaction equation with variable smooth coefficients and the Dirichlet boundary condition on a complicated, thin, and curved domain. We propose the fourth-order compact FDM at every grid…
In an earlier paper (joint with Min Ru), we proved a result on diophantine approximation to Cartier divisors, extending a 2011 result of P. Autissier. This was recently extended to certain closed subschemes (in place of divisors) by Ru and…
We show that H\"older continuity of the gradient is not only a sufficient condition, but also a necessary condition for the existence of a global upper bound on the error of the first-order Taylor approximation. We also relate this global…
We establish $\frac{1}{2}$-H\"older continuity, or even the Lipschitz property, for the spectral measures of half-line discrete Schr\"odinger operators under suitable boundary conditions and exponentially decaying small potentials. These…
This paper studies quantitative deviation bounds for statistical ensembles evolving under the one-parameter flow of a nearly integrable Hamiltonian system. Combining Nekhoroshev-type stability estimates with phase-mixing arguments, we…
The aim of the paper is firstly to study domains of definitions in terms of boundary conditions of minimal and maximal operators, as well as selfadjoint extensions of a minimal operator associated with the fourth-order differential operator…
An elliptic partial differential equation Lu=f with a zero Dirichlet boundary condition is converted to an equivalent elliptic equation on the unit ball. A spectral Galerkin method is applied to the reformulated problem, using multivariate…
We prove a result on the large deviations of the central values of even primitive Dirichlet $L$-functions with a given modulus. For $V\sim \alpha\log\log q$ with $0<\alpha<1$, we show that \begin{equation}\nonumber\frac{1}{\varphi(q)} \#…
