In 1975, P.R. Chernoff used iterates of the Laplacian on $\mathbb{R}^n$ to prove an $L^2$ version of the Denjoy-Carleman theorem which provides a sufficient condition for a smooth function on $\mathbb{R}^n$ to be quasi-analytic. In this…
In this paper we study the behavior of some harmonic analysis operators associated with the discrete Laplacian $\Delta_d$ in discrete Hardy spaces $\mathcal H^p(\mathbb Z)$. We prove that the maximal operator and the Littlewood-Paley $g$…

Discrete exterior calculus (DEC) is a structure-preserving numerical framework for partial differential equations solution, particularly suitable for simplicial meshes. A longstanding and widespread assumption has been that DEC requires…
