For a given bi-continuous semigroup T on a Banach space X we define its adjoint on an appropriate closed subspace X^o of the norm dual X'. Under some abstract conditions this adjoint semigroup is again bi-continuous with respect to the weak…

The purpose of this paper is to study the lower semicontinuity with respect to the strong $L^1$-convergence, of some integral functionals defined in the space SBD of special functions with bounded deformation. Precisely, let $U$ be a…

Let $D^2 \subset C$ be a closed two-dimensional disk and $f:D^2 \to R$ be a continuous function such that a restriction of $f$ to $\partial D^2$ is a continuous function with a finite number of local extrema and $f$ has a finite number of…

This paper continues the studies of symbolic integration by focusing on the stability problems on D-finite functions. We introduce the notion of stability index in order to investigate the order growth of the differential operators…

Let $X$ be a Polish space and $K$ a separable compact subset of the first Baire class on $X$. For every sequence $\bs$ dense in $\kk$, the descriptive set-theoretic properties of the set \[ \lbf=\{L\in[\nn]: (f_n)_{n\in L} \text{is…

Every computable function has to be continuous. To develop computability theory of discontinuous functions, we study low levels of the arithmetical hierarchy of nonuniformly computable functions on Baire space. First, we classify…

We call a function $f$ in $C(X)$ to be hard-bounded if $f$ is bounded on every hard subset, a special kind of closed subset, of $X$. We call a subset $T$ of $X$ to be $S$-embedded if every hard-bounded continuous function of $T$ can be…

We give a complete characterization of closed sets $F \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ whose distance function $d_F:= \mathrm{dist}(\cdot,F)$ is DC (i.e., is the difference of two convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^2$). Using this characterization, a…

Submodular functions, defined on continuous or discrete domains, arise in numerous applications. We study the minimization of the difference of two submodular (DS) functions, over both domains, extending prior work restricted to set…

There are several equivalent ways to define continuous harmonic functions $H(K)$ on a compact set $K$ in $\mathbb R^n$. One may let $H(K)$ be the unform closures of all functions in $C(K)$ which are restrictions of harmonic functions on a…

Let $U\subset K$ be an open and dense subset of a compact metric space and let $\{\Phi_t\}_{t\ge0}$ be a Markov semigroup on the space of bounded Borel measurable functions on $U$ with the strong Feller property. Suppose that for each…

We study properties of strongly separately continuous mappings defined on subsets of products of topological spaces equipped with the topology of pointwise convergence. In particular, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a…

This paper concerns the tilt stability of local optimal solutions to a class of nonlinear semidefinite programs, which involves a twice continuously differentiable objective function and a convex feasible set. By leveraging the second…

We introduce two kinds of quasi-inner functions. Since every rationally invariant subspace for a shift operator $S_K$ on a vector-valued Hardy space $H^{2}(\Omega,K)$ is generated by a quasi-inner function, we also provide relationships of…

For a Tychonoff space $X$, we will denote by $USC_{p}(X)$ ($B_1(X)$) a set of all real-valued upper semicontinuous functions (a set of all Baire functions of class 1) defined on $X$ endowed with the pointwise convergence topology. In this…

The aim of the present paper is twofold:(1) We carry on with developing an abstract method for deriving decay estimates on the semigroup associated to non-symmetric operators in Banach spaces as introduced in [10]. We extend the method so…

Treating class with a single center may hardly capture data distribution complexities. Using multiple sub-centers is an alternative way to address this problem. However, highly correlated sub-classes, the classifier's parameters grow…

The essential support of the symbol of a semiclassical pseudodifferentail operator is characterized by semiclassical wavefront sets of distributions. The proof employs a coherent state whose center in phase space is dependent on Planck's…

Examples of discontinuous functions already appear in the work of Euler, Abel, Dirichlet, Fourier, and Bolzano. A ground-breaking discovery due to Baire was that many discontinuous functions are well-behaved in that they are the pointwise…

Analytical formulae for functional differentiation under simultaneous K-conservation constraints, with K the integral of some function of the functional variable, are derived, making the proper account for the simultaneous conservation of…
