Let $K$ be a bounded convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$ symmetric about the origin. The critical locus of $K$ is defined to be the (non-empty compact) set of lattices $\Lambda$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ of smallest possible covolume such that $\Lambda…

We consider iterated function systems (finite or countable), together with linear and continuous operators on Hilbert spaces, which enable us to construct Markov-type operators. Under suitable conditions, these Markov-type operators have…

We introduce \textit{singular value functions} for C\(^*\)-algebras, generalizing the singular values of compact operators on Hilbert spaces. We also establish several fundamental properties of these singular value functions and present…

In this paper we prove a multiplicity result concerning the critical points of a class of functionals involving local and nonlocal nonlinearities. We apply our result to the nonlinear Schrodinger-Maxwell system and to the nonlinear elliptic…

We consider a functional being a difference of two differentiable convex functionals on a closed ball. Existence and multiplicity of critical points is investigated. Some applications are given.

We study approximations of compact linear multivariate operators defined over Hilbert spaces. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions on various notions of tractability. These conditions are mainly given in terms of sums of certain…

Taylor's theorem (and its variants) is widely used in several areas of mathematical analysis, including numerical analysis, functional analysis, and partial differential equations. This article explains how Taylor's theorem in its most…

A celebrated theorem of M. Heins says that up to post-composition with a M\"obius transformation, a finite Blaschke product is uniquely determined by its critical points. K. Dyakonov suggested that it may interesting to extend this result…

Considering that the Seiberg-Witten functional satisfies the Palais-Smale Condition, up to gauge equivalence, the Minimax Principle can be applied on the moduli space to prove the existence of critical points, which correspond to solutions…

In this paper it is shown that any regular critical point of the Mumford-Shah functional, with positive definite second variation, is an isolated local minimizer with respect to competitors which are sufficiently close in the L^1-topology.

The Conley index of an isolated invariant set is a fundamental object in the study of dynamical systems. Here we consider smooth functions on closed submanifolds of Euclidean space and describe a framework for inferring the Conley index of…

It is investigated necessary and sufficient conditions on topological spaces $X=\prod\limits _{s\in S}X_s$ and $Y=\prod\limits _{t\in T}Y_t$ for the dependence of every separately continuous functions $f:X\times Y\to \mathbb R$ on at most…

We deal with the following closely related problems: (i) For a germ of a reduced plane analytic curve, what is the minimal degree of an algebraic curve with a singular point analytically equivalent (isomorphic) to the given one? (ii) For a…

We give an alternative proof of that a critical knot of a Morse-Bott function $f: S^3 \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a graph knot where the critical set of $f$ is a link in $S^3$. Our proof inducts on the number of index-1 critical knots of…

(Completely regular) locales generalize (Tychonoff) spaces; indeed, the passage from a locale to its spatial sublocale is a well understood coreflection. But a locale also possesses an equally important pointless sublocale, and with…

Following a scheme of Levin we describe the values that functions in Fock spaces take on lattices of critical density in terms of both the size of the values and a cancelation condition that involves discrete versions of the Cauchy and…

We extend the circle of ideas from a previous paper on hypersurfaces to functions $f \colon (\mathbb C^n, 0) \to (\mathbb C^k, 0)$ with an isolated singularity in a stratified sense on an arbitrary, but fixed complex analytic germ $(X, 0)$.…

Function (linear) spaces on which an arbitrary function operates (i.e. the space is stable w.r.t. the pointwise unary operation defined by the function) were investigated, for continuous real or complex operations, by deLeeuw-Katznelson,…
