Robotic motion optimization often focuses on task-specific solutions, overlooking fundamental motion principles. Building on Riemannian geometry and the calculus of variations (often appearing as indirect methods of optimal control), we…

Turbulence is an ubiquitous phenomenon in natural and industrial flows. Since the celebrated work of Kolmogorov in 1941, understanding the statistical properties of fully developed turbulence has remained a major quest. In particular,…

We consider a Kantorovich potential associated to an optimal transportation problem between measures that are not necessarily absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure, but are comparable to the Lebesgue measure when…

In this paper, we provide a general framework to study general class of linear and nonlinear kinetic equations with random uncertainties from the initial data or collision kernels, and their stochastic Galerkin approximations, in both…

This paper is a survey of the generalized Hamiltonian gradient flow (GHGF) framework for Hamilton-Jacobi equations, with an emphasis on the propagation of singularities and its connections to weak KAM theory, optimal transport and mean…

In this paper we find estimates for the optimal constant in the critical Sobolev trace inequality $S\|u\|^p_{L^{p_*}(\partial\Omega) \hookrightarrow \|u\|^p_{W^{1,p}(\Omega)}$ that are independent of $\Omega$. This estimates generalized…

We prove local boundedness and a Harnack inequality for nonnegative weak solutions of the equation $-\nabla\cdot(\mathbf{a}(x)\nabla u)=0$ under a coarse-grained ellipticity assumption on the symmetric coefficient field $\mathbf{a}$.…

Covariant Lyapunov vectors (CLVs) are intrinsic modes that describe long-term linear perturbations of solutions of dynamical systems. With recent advances in the context of semi-invertible multiplicative ergodic theorems, existence of CLVs…

We introduce a discrete dynamical system on the integers, defined by moving a composite $m$ forward to $m+\pi(m)$ and a prime $p$ backward to $p-\mathrm{prevprime}(p)$. This map produces trajectories whose contraction properties are closely…

For second-order elliptic or parabolic equations with subcritical or critical drifts, it is well-known that the Harnack inequality holds and their bounded weak solutions are H\"older continuous. We construct time-independent supercritical…

We prove Nash's $G$ bound for the Kolmogorov equation with rough coefficients. Our proof is inspired by the treatment of the parabolic problem by Nash (1958) and Fabes and Stroock (1986). To transfer their ideas to the kinetic setting, we…

We describe $\omega$-limit sets of completely positive (CP) maps over finite-dimensional spaces. In such sets and in its corresponding convex hulls, CP maps present isometric behavior and the states contained in it commute with each other.…

Covariant Lyapunov vectors or CLVs span the expanding and contracting directions of perturbations along trajectories in a chaotic dynamical system. Due to efficient algorithms to compute them that only utilize trajectory information, they…

Classical (maximal) superintegrable systems in $n$ dimensions are Hamiltonian systems with $2n-1$ independent constants of the motion, globally defined, the maximum number possible. They are very special because they can be solved…

Convex geometries form a subclass of closure systems with unique criticals, or $UC$-systems. We show that the $F$-basis introduced in [1] for $UC$-systems, becomes optimum in convex geometries, in two essential parts of the basis: right…

For any arbitrary algebraic curve, we define an infinite sequence of invariants. We study their properties, in particular their variation under a variation of the curve, and their modular properties. We also study their limits when the…

Topological defects play an important role in physics of elastic media and liquid crystals. Their kinematics is determined by constraints of topological origin. An example is the glide motion of dislocations which has been extensively…

This paper develops a theory of Lipschitz comparisons of hyperbolic surfaces analogous to the theory of quasi-conformal comparisons. Extremal Lipschitz maps (minimal stretch maps) and geodesics for the `Lipschitz metric' are constructed.…

Invertible compositions of one-dimensional maps are studied which are assumed to include maps with non-positive Schwarzian derivative and others whose sum of distortions is bounded. If the assumptions of the Koebe principle hold, we show…

We employ scoring functions, used in statistics for eliciting risk functionals, as cost functions in the Monge-Kantorovich (MK) optimal transport problem. This gives raise to a rich variety of novel asymmetric MK divergences, which subsume…
