We study three well-known minimization problems in Hilbert spaces: the weighted least squares problem and the related problems of abstract splines and smoothing. In each case we analyze the solvability of the problem for every point of the…

We study two families of integral functionals indexed by a real number $p > 0$. One family is defined for 1-dimensional curves in $\R^3$ and the other one is defined for $m$-dimensional manifolds in $\R^n$. These functionals are described…

The Hardy--Littlewood inequalities for multilinear forms on sequence spaces state that for all positive integers $m,n\geq2$ and all $m$-linear forms $T:\ell_{p_{1}}^{n}\times\cdots\times\ell_{p_{m}}^{n}\rightarrow\mathbb{K}$…

The Hilbert scheme of $n$ points in the affine plane contains the open subscheme parametrizing $n$ distinct points in the affine plane, and the closed subscheme parametrizing ideals of codimension $n$ supported at the origin of the affine…

Given a set of points in P^2, we consider the common zeros of the set of curves of a given degree passing through those points. For general sets of points, these zero sets have the expected dimension and are smooth. In fact, given graded…

We consider the problem of computing matrix polynomials $p(X)$, where $X$ is a large dense matrix, with as few matrix-matrix multiplications as possible. More precisely, let $\Pi_{2^{m}}^*$ represent the set of polynomials computable with…

We describe the Hilbert schemes parametrizing curves on a cubic threefold of degree at most 5. In a forthcoming paper, we use this description to give a new proof and extension of a theorem of Iliev, Markushevich and Tikhimirov.

Let X and Y be smooth varieties of dimensions n-1 and n over an arbitrary algebraically closed field, f:X-> Y a finite map that is birational onto its image. Suppose that f is curvilinear; that is, at every point of X, the Jacobian has rank…

Let S be a smooth, projective surface of Picard rank 1 and very ample generator embedding S into P^n. Let C be a smooth curve in O(m) for m \geq 5. We prove that any base-point free, complete g^r_d on C for r\in\{1,2\} and d small enough is…

A well-known theorem in plane geometry states that any set of $n$ non-collinear points in the plane determines at least $n$ lines. Chen and Chv\'{a}tal asked whether an analogous statement holds within the framework of finite metric spaces,…

This paper surveys certain problems involving numerical characters for ideals I(Z) defining fat points subschemes $Z=m_1p_1+...+m_np_n$ for general points $p_i\in {\bf P}^2$. It also presents some new results, and includes a suite of…

A point set $M$ in Euclidean plane is called an integral point set in semi-general position if all the distances between the elements of $M$ are integers, and $M$ does not contain collinear triples. We improve the lower bound for diameter…

Let $W\subset \mathbb {P}^n$, $n\ge 3$, be a degree $k$ hypersurface. Consider a "general" reducible, but connected, curve $Y\subset \mathbb {P}^n$, for instance a sufficiently general connected and nodal union of lines with $p_a(Y)=0$,…

We classify minimal-degree curves in the Hilbert schemes of points on algebraic surfaces. When the algebraic surface is the projective plane, the nef cone and a flip structure of these Hilbert schemes are determined.

Let f be a smooth Morse function on an infinite dimensional separable Hilbert manifold, all of whose critical points have infinite Morse index and co-index. For any critical point x choose an integer a(x) arbitrarily. Then there exists a…

In this paper, for general plane curves $\gamma$ satisfying some suitable smoothness and curvature conditions, we obtain the single annulus $L^p(\mathbb{R}^2)$-boundedness of the Hilbert transforms $H^\infty_{U,\gamma}$ along the variable…

All of the six Painlev\'e equations except the first have families of rational solutions, which are frequently important in applications. The third Painlev\'e equation in generic form depends on two parameters $m$ and $n$, and it has…

Classifying points in high dimensional spaces is a fundamental geometric problem in machine learning. In this paper, we address classifying points in the $d$-dimensional Hilbert polygonal metric. The Hilbert metric is a generalization of…

We consider skew-symmetric operators on a Hilbert space and study m-accretive restrictions of their negative adjoints. Using the theory of boundary systems, we provide a full characterisation of all those m-accretive restrictions, linear…

We study the question of whether there is a minimum Hilbert functions for double point schemes whose support is $s$ points with the generic Hilbert functions. Previous work shows that the question has an affirmative answer for $s \le 9$ and…
