In this note, we prove that the minimal and maximal solution maps associated to elliptic quasi-variational inequalities of obstacle type are directionally differentiable with respect to the forcing term and for directions that are signed.…
We study least deviation of logarithmic derivatives of real-valued polynomials with a fixed root from zero on the segment $[-1;1]$ in the uniform norm with the weight $\sqrt{1-x^2}$ and without it. Basing on results of Komarov and Novak and…
In this paper, we present a new extension of the famous Serrin's lower semicontinuity theorem for the variational functional $\int_{\Omega}f(x,u,u')dx$,we prove its lower semicontinuity in $W_{loc}^{1,1}(\Omega)$ with respect to the strong…
We show general lower semicontinuity and relaxation theorems for linear-growth integral functionals defined on vector measures that satisfy linear PDE side constraints (of arbitrary order). These results generalize several known lower…
We obtain improved regularity of homeomorphic solutions of the reduced Beltrami equation, as compared to the standard Beltrami equation. Such an improvement is not possible in terms of Holder or Sobolev regularity; instead, our results…
We derive a formula which is a lower bound on the dimension of trivariate splines on a tetrahedral partition which are continuously differentiable of order $r$ in large enough degree. While this formula may fail to be a lower bound on the…
We show that in any sequence of a general type MMP, the minimal log discrepancy of singularities takes at most finitely many values, and the fibers of all the extremal contractions and flips belong to a bounded family. A key ingredient in…
We study the moduli of continuity of functions of bounded variation and of their variation functions. It is easy to see that the modulus of continuity of a function of bounded variation is always smaller or equal to the modulus of…
We establish general results for weak relative compactness of sequences of It\^o integrals with respect to Skorohod's functional M1 topology, under general conditions. Moreover, we are able to explicitly characterise the form of the limit…
In program semantics and verification, reasoning about loops is complicated by the need to produce two separate mathematical arguments: an invariant, for functional properties (ignoring termination); and a variant, for termination (ignoring…
Separability of multivariate functions alleviates the difficulty in finding a minimum or maximum value of a function such that an optimal solution can be searched by solving several disjoint problems with lower dimensionalities. In most of…
An important tool to quantify the likeness of two probability measures are f-divergences, which have seen widespread application in statistics and information theory. An example is the total variation, which plays an exceptional role among…
We show that a problem on minimal periods of solutions of Lipschitz functional differential equations is closely related to the unique solvability of the periodic problem for linear functional differential equations. Sharp bounds for…
We show that the variation of the topology at infinity of a two-variable polynomial function is localisable at a finite number of "atypical points" at infinity. We construct an effective algorithm with low complexity in order to detect…
Computing the partition function and the marginals of a global probability distribution are two important issues in any probabilistic inference problem. In a previous work, we presented sub-tree based upper and lower bounds on the partition…
In this paper, we study VC-minimal theories and explore related concepts. We first define the notion of convex orderablility and show that this lies strictly between VC-minimality and dp-minimality. Next, we define the notion of weak…
We prove that the range of sequence of vector measures converging widely satisfies a weak lower semicontinuity property, that the convergence of the range implies the strict convergence (convergence of the total variation) and that the…
We study the subvariety of singular sections, the discriminant, of a base point free linear system $|L|$ on a smooth toric variety $X$. On one hand we describe pairs $(X,L)$ for which the discriminant is of low dimension. Precisely, we…
A great challenge in the analysis of the discrepancy function D_N is to obtain universal lower bounds on the L-infty norm of D_N in dimensions d \geq 3. It follows from the average case bound of Klaus Roth that the L-infty norm of D_N is at…
We consider a strengthening of the usual quasiconvexity condition of Morrey in two dimensions, which allows us to prove lower semicontinuity for functionals which are unbounded as the determinant vanishes. This notion, that we call…
