We prove that every bounded Lipschitz function F on a subset Y of a length space X admits a tautest extension to X, i.e., a unique Lipschitz extension u for which Lip_U u = Lip_{boundary of U} u for all open subsets U of X that do not…

We study the double-obstacle problem for the p-Laplace operator, p 2 [2;1). We prove that for Lipschitz boundary data and Lipschitz obstacles, viscosity solutions are unique and coincide with variational solutions. They are also uniform…

Functions that are holomorphic and Lipschitz in a smoothly bounded domain enjoy a gain in the order of Lipschitz regularity in the complex tangential directions near the boundary. We describe this gain explicitly in terms of the defining…

Motivated by tug-of-war games and asymptotic analysis of certain variational problems, we consider a gradient constraint problem involving the infinity Laplace operator. We prove that this problem always has a solution that is unique if a…

In this paper, we study a tug-of-war type operator on geometric graphs and its associated Dirichlet problem on a random data cloud. Specifically, we analyze the convergence of the value functions as the number of data points increases and…

A representation of the sharp constant in a pointwise estimate of the gradient of a harmonic function in a multidimensional half-space is obtained under the assumption that function's boundary values belong to $L^p$. This representation is…

We study various properties of the gradients of solutions to harmonic functions on Lipschitz surfaces. We improve an exponential bound of Naber and Valtorta on the size of the superlevel sets for the frequency function to a sharp quadratic…

Fix a bounded domain Omega in R^d, a continuous function F on the boundary of Omega, and constants epsilon>0, p>1, and q>1 with p^{-1} + q^{-1} = 1. For each x in Omega, let u^epsilon(x) be the value for player I of the following…

We give a self-contained and short proof for the existence, uniqueness and measurability of so called $p$-harmonious functions. The proofs only use elementary analytic tools. As a consequence, we obtain existence, uniqueness and…

To minimize or upper-bound the value of a function "robustly", we might instead minimize or upper-bound the "epsilon-robust regularization", defined as the map from a point to the maximum value of the function within an epsilon-radius. This…

In this work we discuss a random Tug-of-War game in graphs where one of the players has the power to decide at each turn whether to play a round of classical random Tug-of-War, or let the other player choose the new game position in…

This paper establishes a probabilistic representation for the solution of the parabolic obstacle problem associated with the normalized $p$-Laplacian. We introduce a zero-sum stochastic tug-of-war game with noise in a space-time cylinder,…

We study real-valued valuations on the space of Lipschitz functions over the Euclidean unit sphere $S^{n-1}$. After introducing an appropriate notion of convergence, we show that continuous valuations are bounded on sets which are bounded…

For positive $p$-harmonic functions on Riemannian manifolds, we derive a gradient estimate and Harnack inequality with constants depending only on the lower bound of the Ricci curvature, the dimension $n$, $p$ and the radius of the ball on…

We show that gradient descent can converge to any local minimum of a smooth semi-algebraic function. This holds if the step sizes are nonsummable and sufficiently small. The same results hold for the subgradient method on locally Lipschitz…

This is a preprint of Chapter 2 in the following work: Marta Lewicka, A Course on Tug-of-War Games with Random Noise, 2020, Springer, reproduced with permission of Springer Nature Switzerland AG. We present the basic relation between the…

In this paper, we first obtain an $L^q$ gradient estimate for $p$-harmonic maps, by assuming the target manifold supporting a certain function, whose gradient and Hessian satisfy some analysis conditions. From this $L^q$ gradient estimate,…

Nonlinear PDEs, mean value properties, and stochastic differential games are intrinsically connected. In this short expository note, we will describe how the solutions to certain PDEs (of $p$-Laplacian type) can be interpreted as limits of…

Temporal difference learning with linear function approximation is a popular method to obtain a low-dimensional approximation of the value function of a policy in a Markov Decision Process. We give a new interpretation of this method in…

We propose a new version of the tug-of-war game and a corresponding dynamic programming principle related to the $p$-Laplacian with $1<p<2$. For this version, the asymptotic H\"older continuity of solutions can be directly derived from…
