In this paper we prove that if $\Omega\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is a bounded John domain, the following weighted Poincare-type inequality holds: $$ \inf_{a\in \mathbb{R}}\| (f(x)-a) w_1(x) \|_{L^q(\Omega)} \le C \|\nabla f(x) d(x)^\alpha w_2(x)…

In this work, we consider a class of convex optimization problems in a real Hilbert space that can be solved by performing a single projection, i.e., by projecting an infeasible point onto the feasible set. Our results improve those…

This paper examines the simplest case of total differential equations that appears in the theory of foliation structures, without imposing the smoothness assumptions. This leads to a peculiar asymmetry in the differentiability of solutions.…
