Given a line bundle L on a smooth projective curve over the complex numbers, we show that a general extension E of L by the trivial line bundle is very stable: line bundles contained in E have degree much less than half the degree of E.…

Optimization problems with composite functions consist of an objective function which is the sum of a smooth and a (convex) nonsmooth term. This particular structure is exploited by the class of proximal gradient methods and some of their…

We prove that a connected subcartesian space admits embedding in a Euclidean space. The Whitney Embedding Theorem is then stated as a corollary of our result. Based on the above result together with the theory of distribution on smooth…
