Let $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ be open and $D\subseteq \partial\Omega$ be a closed part of its boundary. Under very mild assumptions on $\Omega$, we construct a bounded Sobolev extension operator for the Sobolev space $\mathrm{W}^{k ,…

Given two points $p,q$ in the real plane, the signed area of the rectangle with the diagonal $[pq]$ equals the square of the Minkowski distance between the points $p,q$. We prove that $N>1$ points in the Minkowski plane $\R^{1,1}$ generate…

Any discrete approach to quantum gravity must provide some prescription as to how to deduce continuum properties from the discrete substructure. In the causal set approach it is straightforward to deduce timelike distances, but surprisingly…

We investigate the distance function $\boldsymbol{\delta}_{K}^{\phi}$ from an arbitrary closed subset $ K $ of a~finite-dimensional Banach space $ (\mathbf{R}^{n}, \phi) $, equipped with a uniformly convex $\mathcal{C}^{2}$-norm $ \phi $.…

We consider weighted $L^p$-Hardy inequalities involving the distance to the boundary of a domain in the $n$-dimensional Euclidean space with nonempty boundary. Using criticality theory, we give an alternative proof of the following result…

It was shown recently that the Minkowski content of a bounded set $A$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with volume zero can be characterized in terms of the asymptotic behaviour of the boundary surface area of its parallel sets $A_r$ as the parallel…

For any bounded convex domain \Omega in R^N, we assign a positive finite Borel measure associated with the solution to a su-blinear elliptic equation in \Omega. We prove that this measure is weakly continuous in the sense of measure with…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ be an open set whose boundary may be composed of pieces of different dimensions. Assume that $\Omega$ satisfies the quantitative openness and connectedness, and there exist doubling measures $m$ on…

We carry out analysis and geometry on a marked configuration space $\Omega^M_X$ over a Riemannian manifold $X$ with marks from a space $M$. We suppose that $M$ is a homogeneous space $M$ of a Lie group $G$. As a transformation group $\frak…

We consider the problem of finding commuting self-adjoint extensions of the partial derivatives {(1/i)(\partial/\partial x_j):j=1,...,d} with domain C_c^\infty(\Omega) where the self-adjointness is defined relative to L^2(\Omega), and…

Given an open subset $\Omega$ of a Banach space and a Lipschitz function $u_0: \overline{\Omega} \to \mathbb{R},$ we study whether it is possible to approximate $u_0$ uniformly on $\Omega$ by $C^k$-smooth Lipschitz functions which coincide…

In this work we propose to study the general Robin boundary value problem involving signed smooth measures on an arbitrary domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^d$. A Kato class of measures is defined to insure the closability of the associated…

The traditional Minkowski distances are induced by the corresponding Minkowski norms in real-valued vector spaces. In this work, we propose novel statistical symmetric distances based on the Minkowski's inequality for probability densities…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space. We consider the behavior of probability measures $\mu$ with the property that $$ \int_{X} d(x, y) d\mu(y) \qquad \mbox{is independent of}~x \in X.$$ It appears that such measures, when they exist,…

In this paper we introduce a notion of the Gromov-Hausdorff distance with boundary, denoted by $d_{GHB}$, to construct a framework of convergence of noncomplete metric spaces. We show that a class of bounded $A$-uniform spaces with diameter…
