Curves of maximal slope are a reference gradient-evolution notion in metric spaces and arise as variational formulation of a vast class of nonlinear diffusion equations. Existence theories for curves of maximal slope are often based on…
We present an elementary criterion to show the length-minimizing property of geodesics for a large class of conformal metrics. In particular, we prove the length-minimizing property of level curves of harmonic functions and the…
On a smooth closed manifold $M$, we introduce a novel theory of maximal slope curves for any pair $(\phi,H)$ with $\phi$ a semiconcave function and $H$ a Hamiltonian. By using the notion of maximal slope curve from gradient flow theory, the…
We study the Calabi functional on a ruled surface over a genus two curve. For polarisations which do not admit an extremal metric we describe the behaviour of a minimising sequence splitting the manifold into pieces. We also show that the…
We prove the existence and describe limiting curves resulting from deviations in partial sums in the ergodic theorem for cylindrical functions and polynomial (self-similar) adic systems. For a general ergodic measure-preserving…
We establish a general method for simultaneously perturbing a convergent sequence of functions in such a way that the sequence of strong minima of the perturbed functions tend to the strong minimum of their limit.
Let $\rho_C$ be the regularity of the Hilbert function of a projective curve $C$ in $\mathbb P^n_K$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ and $\alpha_1,...,\alpha_{n-1}$ be minimal degrees for which there exists a complete intersection of…
In this paper we consider the problem of reconstructing a curve that is partially hidden or corrupted by minimizing the functional $\int \sqrt{1+K_\gamma^2} ds$, depending both on length and curvature $K$. We fix starting and ending points…
We consider the minimization property of a Gagliardo-Slobodeckij seminorm which can be seen as the fractional counterpart of the classical problem of functions of least gradient and which is related to the minimization of the nonlocal…
We bound the number of distinct minimal subsystems of a given transitive subshift of linear complexity, continuing work of Ormes and Pavlov [7]. We also bound the number of generic measures such a subshift can support based on its…
We prove that the bilinear Hilbert transforms and maximal functions along certain general plane curves are bounded from $L^2(\mathbb{R})\times L^2(\mathbb{R})$ to $L^1(\mathbb{R})$.
We define a complete metric structure $\mathfrak{d}_q^p$ on the family $\text{PL}_q^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of probability measures with densities in $L^p(\mathbb{R}^n)$ and finite $q$-moments. We establish the existence of generalized minimizing…
Minimization is a reoccurring theme in many mathematical disciplines ranging from pure to applied ones. Of particular importance is the minimization of integral functionals that is studied within the calculus of variations. Proofs of the…
Techniques for simulating molecules whose conformations satisfy constraints are presented. A method for selecting appropriate moves in Monte Carlo simulations is given. The resulting moves not only obey the constraints but also maintain…
It is shown that the extension of $\R$ by a generic smooth function restricted to the unit cube is o-minimal. The generalization to countably many generic smooth functions is indicated. Possible applications are sketched.
In this article, we illustrate how the concept of slope limiter can be interpreted graphically, i.e., how the slope of reconstructed piecewise linear function is limited by four bounding lines that connect cell-averaged data and its…
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…
In this paper normal functions (in the sense of Griffiths) are used to solve and refine geometric questions about moduli spaces of curves. The first application is to a problem posed by Eliashberg: compute the class in the cohomology of…
We study the problem of finding the one-dimensional structure in a given data set. In other words we consider ways to approximate a given measure (data) by curves. We consider an objective functional whose minimizers are a regularization of…
Let $\gamma_0$ be a curve on a surface $\Sigma$ of genus $g$ and with $r$ boundary components and let $\pi_1(\Sigma)\curvearrowright X$ be a discrete and cocompact action on some metric space. We study the asymptotic behavior of the number…
