We study the variation of a smooth volume form along extremals of a variational problem with nonholonomic constraints and an action-like Lagrangian. We introduce a new invariant describing the interaction of the volume with the dynamics and…

We improve the well known local gradient estimate of Cheng and Yau in the case when Ricci curvature has a negative lower bound.
In this paper we prove some geometric inequalities for closed surfaces in Euclidean three-space. Motivated by Gage's inequality for convex curves, we first verify that for convex surfaces the Willmore energy is bounded below by some…
The main result of this paper gives a plenary proof on the curvature estimates for $k$ curvature equations with general right hand sides with $n<2k$ based on a concavity inequality. We further give a explicit lower bound of the inequality.
The Ehrhard-Borell inequality is a far-reaching refinement of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality that captures the sharp convexity and isoperimetric properties of Gaussian measures. Unlike in the classical Brunn-Minkowski theory, the…

We define a hybrid between Ollvier and Bakry Emery curvature on graphs with dependence on a variable neighborhood. The hexagonal lattice is non-negatively curved under this new curvature notion. Bonnet-Myers diameter bounds and Lichnerowicz…
Manifold optimization is ubiquitous in computational and applied mathematics, statistics, engineering, machine learning, physics, chemistry and etc. One of the main challenges usually is the non-convexity of the manifold constraints. By…

The famous Reilly inequality gives an upper bound for the first eigenvalue of the Laplacian defined on compact submanifolds of the Euclidean space in terms of the $L^2$-norm of the mean curvature vector. In this paper, we generalize this…

We present a subgradient method for minimizing non-smooth, non-Lipschitz convex optimization problems. The only structure assumed is that a strictly feasible point is known. We extend the work of Renegar [5] by taking a different…
We establish a Harnack inequality for finite connected graphs with non-negative Ricci curvature. As a consequence, we derive an eigenvalue lower bound, extending previous results for Ricci flat graphs.
