In this work we prove some abstract results about the existence of a minimizer for locally Lipschitz functionals, without any assumption of homogeneity, over a set which has its definition inspired in the Nehari manifold. As applications we…

The minimax theory for estimating linear functionals is extended to the case of a finite union of convex parameter spaces. Upper and lower bounds for the minimax risk can still be described in terms of a modulus of continuity. However in…

It was recently observed that chiral two-body interactions can be efficiently represented using matrix factorization techniques such as the singular value decomposition. However, the exploitation of these low-rank structures in a few- or…
