Since the seminal work of Schoen-Uhlenbeck, many authors have studied properties of harmonic maps satisfying Dirichlet boundary conditions. In this article, we instead investigate regularity and symmetry of $\mathbb{S}^2-$valued minimizing…

We describe an approach for finding upper bounds on an ODE dynamical system's maximal Lyapunov exponent among all trajectories in a specified set. A minimization problem is formulated whose infimum is equal to the maximal Lyapunov exponent,…

The ultrametrization of the set of all probability measures of compact support on the ultrametric spaces was first defined by Hartog and de Vink. In this paper we consider a similar construction for the so called max-min measures on the…
Motivated by applications in machine learning, such as subset selection and data summarization, we consider the problem of maximizing a monotone submodular function subject to mixed packing and covering constraints. We present a tight…
We prove weighted estimates for the maximal regularity operator. Such estimates were motivated by boundary value problems. We take this opportunity to study a class of weak solutions to the abstract Cauchy problem. We also give a new proof…
We consider minimal, aperiodic symbolic subshifts and show how to characterize the combinatorial property of bounded powers by means of a metric property. For this purpose we construct a family of graphs which all approximate the subshift…
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…
For any quantity of interest in a system governed by ordinary differential equations, it is natural to seek the largest (or smallest) long-time average among solution trajectories, as well as the extremal trajectories themselves. Upper…
We consider the representation of the value of a class of optimal stopping problems of linear diffusions in a linearized form as an expected supremum of a known function. We establish an explicit integral representation of this representing…
In this paper we present an abstraction-refinement approach to Satisfiability Modulo the theory of transcendental functions, such as exponentiation and trigonometric functions. The transcendental functions are represented as uninterpreted…
This work extends the Mond-Pecaric method to functions with multiple operators as arguments by providing arbitrarily close approximations of the original functions. Instead of using linear functions to establish lower and upper bounds for…
This article studies an integral representation of functionals of linear growth on metric measure spaces with a doubling measure and a Poincar\'e inequality. Such a functional is defined through relaxation, and it defines a Radon measure on…
The aim of this paper is to show that every representative function of a maximal monotone operator is the Fitzpatrick transform of a bifunction corresponding to the operator. In this way we exhibit the relation between the recent theory of…
We show that the set of realizations of a given dimension of a max-plus linear sequence is a finite union of polyhedral sets, which can be computed from any realization of the sequence. This yields an (expensive) algorithm to solve the…
In this two-part study we develop a general approach to the design and analysis of exact penalty functions for various optimal control problems, including problems with terminal and state constraints, problems involving differential…
We show that necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality in periodic optimization problems can be stated in terms of a solution of the corresponding HJB inequality, the latter being equivalent to a max-min type variational problem…
We study the potential theory of a large class of infinite dimensional L\'evy processes, including Brownian motion on abstract Wiener spaces. The key result is the construction of compact Lyapunov functions, i.e. excessive functions with…
