In this paper we prove the existence of complete, noncompact convex hypersurfaces whose $p$-curvature function is prescribed on a domain in the unit sphere. This problem is related to the solvability of Monge-Amp\`ere type equations subject…
The existence of a unique numerical solution of the semi-Lagrangian method for the simple Monge-Amp\`ere equation is known independently of the convexity of the domain or Dirichlet boundary data -- when the Monge-Amp\`ere equation is posed…
Consider a sum of convex functions, where the only information known about each individual summand is the location of a minimizer. In this work, we give an exact characterization of the set of possible minimizers of the sum. Our results…
The present paper provides two necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to the exterior Dirichlet problem of the Monge-Amp\`ere equation with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity. By an adapted smooth…
Seminal work by Edmonds and Lovasz shows the strong connection between submodularity and convexity. Submodular functions have tight modular lower bounds, and subdifferentials in a manner akin to convex functions. They also admit poly-time…
This paper considers projection and convolution operations for integrally convex functions, which constitute a fundamental function class in discrete convex analysis. It is shown that the class of integrally convex functions is stable under…
It is well-known that entire functions whose spectrum belongs to a fixed bounded set $S$ admit real uniformly discrete uniqueness sets $\Lambda$. We show that the same is true for much wider spaces of continuous functions. In particular,…
Any maximal monotone operator can be characterized by a convex function. The family of such convex functions is invariant under a transformation connected with the Fenchel-Legendre conjugation. We prove that there exist a convex…
The Monge-Amp\`ere equation is a fully nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) of fundamental importance in analysis, geometry and in the applied sciences. In this paper we solve the Dirichlet problem associated with the…
We prove in this paper the weak consistency of a general finite volume convection operator acting on discrete functions which are possibly not piecewise-constant over the cells of the mesh and over the time steps. It yields an extension of…
We establish conditions for uniform $r$-th moment bound of certain $\R^d$-valued functions of a discrete-time stochastic process taking values in a general metric space. The conditions include an appropriate negative drift together with a…
In this paper, we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for a sense-preserving harmonic function to be absolutely convex in the open unit disk. We also estimate the coefficient bound and obtain growth, covering and area theorems for…
The (delta-) normal cone to an arbitrary intersection of sublevel sets of proper, lower semicontinuous, and convex functions is characterized, using either epsilon-subdifferentials at the nominal point or exact subdifferentials at nearby…
We prove a sharp bound between sampling numbers and entropy numbers in the uniform norm for bounded convex sets of bounded functions.
Constrained diffusions in convex polyhedral domains with a general oblique reflection field, and with a diffusion coefficient scaled by a small parameter, are considered. Using an interior Dirichlet heat kernel lower bound estimate for…
This paper concerns with the convergence analysis of a fourth order singular perturbation of the Dirichlet Monge-Amp\`ere problem in the $n$-dimensional radial symmetric case. A detailed study of the fourth order problem is presented. In…
We give an example of a convex, finite and lower semicontinuous function whose subdifferential is everywhere empty. This is possible since the function is defined on an incomplete normed space. The function serves as a universal…
We consider the Monge-Amp\`ere equation $\det(D^2u)=f$ where $f$ is a positive function in $\mathbb R^n$ and $f=1+O(|x|^{-\beta})$ for some $\beta>2$ at infinity. If the equation is globally defined on $\mathbb R^n$ we classify the…
In this work we propose a discretization of the second boundary condition for the Monge-Ampere equation arising in geometric optics and optimal transport. The discretization we propose is the natural generalization of the popular…
Given a sequence of regular planar domains converging in the sense of kernel, we prove that the corresponding Green's functions converge uniformly on the complex sphere, provided the limit domain is also regular, and the connectivity is…
