In [MaII] Mather proved that a smooth proper infinitesimally stable map is stable. This result is the key component of the Mather stability theorem [MaV], which can be reformulated as follows: a smooth proper map $f: M\to N$ is stable if…

We prove a theorem on structural stability of smooth attractor-repellor endomorphisms of compact manifolds, with singularities. By attractor-repellor, we mean that the non-wandering set of the dynamics $f$ is the disjoint union of a…

For a bounded domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m, m\geq 2,$ of class $C^0$, the properties are studied of fields of `good directions', that is the directions with respect to which $\partial\Omega$ can be locally represented as the graph of a…

Local action principles on a manifold $\M$ are invariant (if at all) only under diffeomorphisms that preserve the boundary of $\M$. Suppose, however, that we wish to study only part of a system described by such a principle; namely, the…

Let p be a saddle fixed point for an orientation-preserving surface diffeomorphism f admitting a homoclinic point q. Let V be an open 2-cell bounded by a simple loop formed by two arcs joining p to q lying respectively in the stable and…

Let $M$ be a connected compact orientable surface, $f:M\to \mathbb{R}$ be a Morse function, and $h:M\to M$ be a diffeomorphism which preserves $f$ in the sense that $f\circ h = f$. We will show that if $h$ leaves invariant each regular…

On a Riemannian manifold $\bar{M}^{m+n}$ with an $(m+1)$-calibration $\Omega$, we prove that an $m$-submanifold $M$ with constant mean curvature $H$ and calibrated extended tangent space $\mathbb{R}H\oplus TM$ is a critical point of the…

We develop a theoretical framework for computer-assisted proofs of the existence of invariant objects in semilinear PDEs. The invariant objects considered in this paper are equilibrium points, traveling waves, periodic orbits and invariant…

Let $M$ be a compact smooth manifold with corners and $N$ be a finite dimensional smooth manifold without boundary which admits local addition. We define a smooth manifold structure to general sets of continuous mapings $\mathcal{F}(M,N)$…

Let $G$ be a Lie group and let $M$ be a proper smooth $G$-manifold. If $M$ is connected and $\dim(M)\geq 2$, the group of diffeomorphisms of $M$, that are isotopic to the identity through a compactly supported isotopy, acts $n$-transitively…

We prove that any ergodic measure-preserving action of an irreducible lattice in a semisimple group, with finite center and each simple factor having rank at least two, either has finite orbits or has finite stabilizers. The same dichotomy…

There have been many parallel streams of research studying order isomorphisms of some specific sets $G$ of functions from a set $X$ to $\mathbb{R}\cup\{\pm\infty\}$, such as the sets of convex or Lipschitz functions. We develop in this…

It is stated equicontinuity and normality of families $\frak{F}^{\Phi}$ of the so--called homeomorphisms with finite distortion on conditions that $K_{f}(z)$ has finite mean oscillation, singularities of logarithmic type or integral…

In the context of global optimization of mixed-integer nonlinear optimization formulations, we consider smoothing univariate functions $f$ that satisfy $f(0)=0$, $f$ is increasing and concave on $[0,+\infty)$, $f$ is twice differentiable on…

We consider uniformly elliptic operators with Dirichlet or Neumann homogeneous boundary conditions on a domain $\Omega $ in ${\mathbb{R}}^N$. We consider deformations $\phi (\Omega)$ of $\Omega $ obtained by means of a locally Lipschitz…

Let $(\phi_t)$ be a semigroup of holomorphic functions in the unit disk. We prove that all its orbits are rectifiable and that its forward orbits are Lipschitz curves. Moreover, we find a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of…

Let f be a class P -homeomorphism of the circle. We prove that there exists a piecewise analytic homeomorphism that conjugate f to a one-class P with prescribed break points lying on pairwise distinct orbits. As a consequence, we give a…

We are interested in the question of stability in the field of shape optimization, with focus on the strategy using second order shape derivative. More precisely, we identify structural hypotheses on the hessian of the considered shape…

In this article, we characterize the distortion elements of the group of smooth diffeomorphisms of the circle and of the group of compactly supported smooth diffeomorphisms of the real line. More precisely, we prove that, in this context,…

This article is devoted to the study of a certain class of smooth circle-valued functions on a cylinder $S^1\times [0,1]$, a torus $T^2$, a disk $D^2$ and a sphere $S^2$ which is a generalization of Morse-Bott functions without saddles. We…
