Motivated by applications in model-free finance and quantitative risk management, we consider Fr\'echet classes of multivariate distribution functions where additional information on the joint distribution is assumed, while uncertainty in…
In 1934, Whitney raised the question of how to recognize whether a function f defined on a closed subset X of Euclidean space is the restriction of a function that is continuously differentiable to order p. A necessary and sufficient…
Algorithms for efficiently finding optimal alphabetic decision trees -- such as the Hu-Tucker algorithm -- are well established and commonly used. However, such algorithms generally assume that the cost per decision is uniform and thus…
We present an accelerated, or 'look-ahead' version of the Newton-Dinkelbach method, a well-known technique for solving fractional and parametric optimization problems. This acceleration halves the Bregman divergence between the current…
In the present paper we establish the solvability of the Regularity boundary value problem in domains with (flat and Lipschitz) lower dimensional boundaries for operators whose coefficients exhibit small oscillations analogous to the…
Robust and distributionally robust optimization are modeling paradigms for decision-making under uncertainty where the uncertain parameters are only known to reside in an uncertainty set or are governed by any probability distribution from…
An optimal control problem for longitudinal motions of a thin elastic rod is considered. We suppose that a normal force, which changes piecewise constantly along the rod's length, is applied to the cross-section so that the positions of…
For $0<\alpha<1$ let $V(\alpha)$ denote the supremum of the numbers $v$ such that every $\alpha$-H\"older continuous function is of bounded variation on a set of Hausdorff dimension $v$. Kahane and Katznelson (2009) proved the estimate $1/2…
We consider the problem of generating motion plans for a robot that are guaranteed to succeed despite uncertainty in the environment, parametric model uncertainty, and disturbances. Furthermore, we consider scenarios where these plans must…
Active matter systems under confinement display persistent surface motion and a strong boundary affinity. However, despite extensive studies of their positional dynamics, much less attention has been given to the corresponding orientational…
In this paper, we are interested in the analysis of a well-known free boundary/shape optimization problem motivated by some issues arising in population dynamics. The question is to determine optimal spatial arrangements of favorable and…
The union-closed sets conjecture states that in any nonempty union-closed family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of a finite set, there exists an element contained in at least a proportion $1/2$ of the sets of $\mathcal{F}$. Using the…
For a text given in advance, the substring minimal suffix queries ask to determine the lexicographically minimal non-empty suffix of a substring specified by the location of its occurrence in the text. We develop a data structure answering…
For the evolutionary Stokes problem with dynamic boundary conditions, we show the maximal regularity of weak solutions in time. Due to the characterization of $R$-sectorial operators on Hilbert spaces, the proof reduces to identifying the…
We study a mathematical model of biological neuronal networks composed by any finite number $N \geq 2$ of non necessarily identical cells. The model is a deterministic dynamical system governed by finite-dimensional impulsive differential…
We obtain the first probabilistic proof of continuous differentiability of time-dependent optimal boundaries in optimal stopping problems. The underlying stochastic dynamics is a one-dimensional, time-inhomogeneous diffusion. The gain…
We consider the following eigenvalue optimization in the composite membrane problem with fractional Laplacian: given a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $\alpha>0$ and $0<A<|\Omega|$, find a subset $D\subset \Omega$ of area $A$…
Motivated by various applications, this article develops the notion of boundary control for Maxwell's equations in the frequency domain. Surface curl is shown to be the appropriate regularization in order for the optimal control problem to…
We study a natural generalization of stable matching to the maximum weight stable matching problem and we obtain a combinatorial polynomial time algorithm for it by reducing it to the problem of finding a maximum weight ideal cut in a DAG.…
Avanzi et al. (2016) recently studied an optimal dividend problem where dividends are paid both periodically and continuously with different transaction costs. In the Brownian model with Poissonian periodic dividend payment opportunities,…
