We consider a minimization problem that combines the Dirichlet energy with the nonlocal perimeter of a level set, namely $$ \int_\Om |\nabla u(x)|^2\,dx+\Per\Big(\{u > 0\},\Om \Big),$$ with $\sigma\in(0,1)$. We obtain regularity results for…
In the early 1980's Almgren developed a theory of Dirichlet energy minimizing multi-valued functions, proving that the Hausdorff dimension of the singular set (including branch points) of such a function is at most $(n-2),$ where $n$ is the…
In his big regularity paper, Almgren has proven the regularity theorem for mass-minimizing integral currents. One key step in his paper is to derive the regularity of Dirichlet-minimizing $\mathbf{Q}_{Q}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$-valued functions in…
We study two notions of Dirichlet problem associated with BV energy minimizers (also called functions of least gradient) in bounded domains in metric measure spaces whose measure is doubling and supports a $(1,1)$-Poincar\'e inequality.…
This paper discusses the regularity of multiple-valued Dirichlet minimizing maps into the sphere. It shows that even at branched point, as long as the normalized energy is small enough, we have the energy decay estimate. Combined with the…
This paper considers the minimization problem of relaxed submodular functions. For a positive integer $k$, a set function is called $k$-distant submodular if the submodular inequality holds for every pair whose symmetric difference is at…
We add a random bulk term, modelling the interaction with the impurities of the medium, to a standard functional in the gradient theory of phase transitions consisting of a gradient term with a double well potential. We show that in $d\le2$…
The existence of Dirichlet minimizing multiple-valued functions for given boundary data has been known since pioneering work of F. Almgren. Here we prove a multiple-valued analogue of the classical Plateau problem of the existence of…
We provide a number of sufficient conditions for that minimizers of the one-dimensional Rudin-Osher-Fatemi functional satisfy the Dirichlet data in the trace sense. For this purpose we use results specific for the total variation flow. We…
We study decoupling theory for functions on $\mathbb{R}$ with Fourier transform supported in a neighborhood of short Dirichlet sequences $\{\log n\}_{n=N+1}^{N+N^{1/2}}$, as well as sequences with similar convexity properties. We utilize…
In the 1980's, Almgren developed a theory of multi-valued Dirichlet energy minimizing functions on $n$ dimensional domains and used it, in an essential way, to bound the Hausdorff dimension of the singular sets of area minimizing…
We consider a two-valued function $u$ that is either Dirichlet energy minimizing, $C^{1,\mu}$ harmonic, or in $C^{1,\mu}$ with an area-stationary graph such that Almgren's frequency (restricted to the singular set) is continuous at a…
We show that any 2-valued C^{1, \alpha} (\alpha \in (0, 1)) function u = {u_{1}, u_{2}} on an open ball B in {\mathbb R}^{n} with values u_{1}, u_{2} \in {\mathbb R}^{k} whose graph, viewed as a varifold with multiplicity 2 at points where…
We consider the H\"older continuity for the Dirichlet problem at the boundary. Almgren introduced the multivalued; Q-valued functions for studying regularity of minimal surfaces in higher codimension. The H\"older continuity in the interior…
We consider non oscillatory functions and prove an everywhere Fourier Inversion Theorem for functions of very moderate decrease. The proofs rely on some ideas in nonstandard analysis.
In this paper, we extend the related notions of Dirichlet quasiminimizer, $\omega-$minimizer and almost minimizer to the framework of multiple-valued functions in the sense of Almgren and prove Holder regularity results. We also give…
A $k$-threshold function on a rectangular grid of size $m \times n$ is the conjunction of $k$ threshold functions on the same domain. In this paper, we focus on the case $k=2$ and show that the number of two-dimensional 2-threshold…
We establish a theory of $Q$-valued functions minimizing a suitable generalization of the Dirichlet integral. In a second paper the theory will be used to approximate efficiently area minimizing currents $\mathrm{mod}(p)$ when $p=2Q$, and…
In this article, we study the distribution of values of Dirichlet $L$-functions, the distribution of values of the random models for Dirichlet $L$-functions, and the discrepancy between these two kinds of distributions. For each question,…
Boolean functions on the space $F_{2}^m$ are not only important in the theory of error-correcting codes, but also in cryptography, where they occur in private key systems. In these two cases, the nonlinearity of these function is a main…
