We show that the set of max-plus measures representing a given max-plus harmonic vector has a least element. This may be viewed as an analogue of the uniqueness of the integral representation of harmonic functions in Potential Theory. As an…
An intuitive probabilistic alternative for the construction of the Martin boundary is presented along with a construction of maximal representing measures for positive harmonic functions.
We develop a max-plus spectral theory for infinite matrices. We introduce recurrence and tightness conditions, under which many results of the finite dimensional theory, concerning the representation of eigenvectors and the asymptotic…
A general problem in optimal control consists of finding a terminal reward that makes the value function independent of the horizon. Such a terminal reward can be interpreted as a max-plus eigenvector of the associated Lax-Oleinik…
In the directed landscape, the Martin boundary coincides with the horofunction boundary. We show that functions in this boundary are precisely the eternal solutions possessing a spatial growth rate, and that the minimal Martin boundary is…
Using pluricomplex Green functions we introduce a compactification of a complex manifold $M$ invariant with respect to biholomorphisms similar to the Martin compactification in the potential theory. For this we show the existence of a…
Given a probability measure on a finitely generated group, its Martin boundary is a natural way to compactify the group using the Green function of the corresponding random walk. For finitely supported measures in hyperbolic groups, it is…
The Martin compactification is investigated for a d-dimensional random walk which is killed when at least one of it's coordinates becomes zero or negative. The limits of the Martin kernel are represented in terms of the harmonic functions…
We introduce a max-plus analogue of the Petrov-Galerkin finite element method to solve finite horizon deterministic optimal control problems. The method relies on a max-plus variational formulation. We show that the error in the sup norm…
Inspired by regularization techniques in statistics and machine learning, we study complementary composite minimization in the stochastic setting. This problem corresponds to the minimization of the sum of a (weakly) smooth function endowed…
We give a new characterization of the space of functions of bounded variation in terms of a pointwise inequality connected to the maximal function of a measure. The characterization is new even in Euclidean spaces and it holds also in…
We consider a generalization of the Bauer maximum principle. We work with tensorial products of convex measures sets, that are non necessarily compact but generated by their extreme points. We show that the maximum of a quasi-convex lower…
We develop potential theory for $m$-subharmonic functions with respect to a Hermitian metric on a Hermitian manifold. First, we show that the complex Hessian operator is well-defined for bounded functions in this class. This allows to…
The paper presents analytic expressions of minimax (worst-case) estimates for solutions of linear abstract Neumann problems in Hilbert space with uncertain (not necessarily bounded!) inputs and boundary conditions given incomplete…
We explore dynamical features of the maximally symmetric nonlinear extension of classical electromagnetism, recently proposed in the literature as ``ModMax'' electrodynamics. This family of theories is the only one that preserves all the…
We investigate a class of composite nonconvex functions, where the outer function is the sum of univariate extended-real-valued convex functions and the inner function is the limit of difference-of-convex functions. A notable feature of…
A fundamental problem in numerical analysis and approximation theory is approximating smooth functions by polynomials. A much harder version under recent consideration is to enforce bounds constraints on the approximating polynomial. In…
We give a new proof for an equality of certain max-min and min-max approximation problems involving normal matrices. The previously published proofs of this equality apply tools from matrix theory, (analytic) optimization theory and…
The notion of max-min measure is a counterpart of the notion of max-plus measure (Maslov measure or idempotent measure). In this paper we consider the spaces of max-min measures on the compact Hausdorff spaces. It is proved that the…
In the Maslov idempotent probability calculus, expectations of random variables are defined so as to be linear with respect to max-plus addition and scalar multiplication. This paper considers control problems in which the objective is to…
