Optimal transportation of raw material from suppliers to customers is an issue arising in logistics that is addressed here with a continuous model relying on optimal transport theory. A physics informed neuralnetwork method is advocated…

We are concerned with fully nonlinear elliptic equations on complex manifolds and search for technical tools to overcome difficulties in deriving a priori estimates which arise due to the nontrivial torsion and curvature, as well as the…

We develop a differential theory for the polarity transform parallel to that for the Legendre transform, which is applicable when the functions studied are "geometric convex", namely convex, non-negative and vanish at the origin. This…

Inverse rendering methods aim to estimate geometry, materials and illumination from multi-view RGB images. In order to achieve better decomposition, recent approaches attempt to model indirect illuminations reflected from different…

Given a finite collection of estimators or classifiers, we study the problem of model selection type aggregation, that is, we construct a new estimator or classifier, called aggregate, which is nearly as good as the best among them with…

On an example of the open nonlinear electrodynamic system - transverse non-homogeneous, isotropic, nonlinear (a Kerr-like dielectric nonlinearity) dielectric layer, the algorithms of solution of the diffraction problem of a plane wave on…

Nonlinear elliptic problems arise in many fields, including plasma physics, astrophysics, and optimal transport. In this article, we propose a novel operator-splitting/finite element method for solving such problems. We begin by introducing…

We give an introduction to our work on the solution to the non-Archimedean Monge-Ampere equation and make comparisons to the complex counterpart. These notes are partially based on talks at the 2015 Simons Symposium on Tropical and…

We consider the problem of approximating the solution of variational problems subject to the constraint that the admissible functions must be convex. This problem is at the interface between convex analysis, convex optimization, variational…

In this paper, we study an adaptive finite element method for a class of a nonlinear eigenvalue problems that may be of nonconvex energy functional and consider its applications to quantum chemistry. We prove the convergence of adaptive…

In this paper, we study interior estimates for solutions to linearized Monge-Amp\`ere equations in divergence form with drift terms and the right-hand side containing the divergence of a bounded vector field. Equations of this type appear…

Image recovery in optical interferometry is an ill-posed nonlinear inverse problem arising from incomplete power spectrum and bispectrum measurements. We reformulate this nonlin- ear problem as a linear problem for the supersymmetric rank-1…

We prove local $C^{1,\alpha}$ estimates of solutions for the parallel refractor and reflector problems under local assumptions on the target set $\Sigma$, and no assumptions are made on the smoothness of the densities.

In this paper, we study a class of non-convex optimization problems known as multi-affine quadratic equality constrained problems, which appear in various applications--from generating feasible force trajectories in robotic locomotion and…

We derived a non-linear 4th-order ordinary differential equation the solutions of which lead to the exact shapes of the cantilever beam. The result of the equation in a non-dimensional form was found to depend on two parameters only: the…

We design freeform lenses refracting an arbitrarily given incident field into a given fixed direction. In the near field case, we study the existence of lenses refracting a given bright object into a predefined image. We also analyze the…

Under investigation is the problem of finding the best approximation of a function in a Hilbert space subject to convex constraints and prescribed nonlinear transformations. We show that in many instances these prescriptions can be…

We study an approximation method for the one-dimensional nonlinear filtering problem, with discrete time and continuous time observation. We first present the method applied to the Fokker-Planck equation. The convergence of the…

In a recent article the authors showed that the radiative Transfer equations with multiple frequencies and scattering can be formulated as a nonlinear integral system. In the present article, the formulation is extended to handle reflective…

A recent large deflection cantilever model is considered. The principal nonlinear effects come through the beam's inextensibility---local arc length preservation---rather than traditional extensible effects attributed to fully restricted…
