We propose a new class of convex penalty functions, called \emph{variational Gram functions} (VGFs), that can promote pairwise relations, such as orthogonality, among a set of vectors in a vector space. These functions can serve as…

In the present note we focus on conic line arrangements in the plane with quasihomogeneous ordinary singularities from the perspective of weak Ziegler pairs. The foundations of this article come from an active area of research devoted to…

The Monge-Kantorovich mass-transportation problem has been shown to be fundamental for various basic problems in analysis and geometry in recent years. Shen and Zheng (2010) proposed a probability method to transform the celebrated…

This work extends weak KAM theory to the case of a nonsmooth Lagrangian satisfying a superlinear growth condition. Using the solution of a weak KAM equation that is a stationary Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the proximal aiming method, we…

This is our first paper on the extension of our recent work on the Lax-Oleinik commutators and its applications to the intrinsic approach of propagation of singularities of the viscosity solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. We…

In this work we derive a simple argument which shows that Gabor systems consisting of odd functions of $d$ variables and symplectic lattices of density $2^d$ cannot constitute a Gabor frame. In the 1--dimensional, separable case, this is a…

This paper deals with the problem of when, given a collection $\mathcal C$ of weakly compact operators between separable Banach spaces, there exists a separable reflexive Banach space $Z$ with a Schauder basis so that every element in…

Chapter 1 deals with the problem of the existence of an upper/lower envelope from a convex cone or, more generally, a convex set for functions on the projective limit of vector lattices with values in the completion of the Kantorovich space…

Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks (WGANs) are the popular generative models built on the theory of Optimal Transport (OT) and the Kantorovich duality. Despite the success of WGANs, it is still unclear how well the underlying OT…

This note exposes the differential topology and geometry underlying some of the basic phenomena of optimal transportation. It surveys basic questions concerning Monge maps and Kantorovich measures: existence and regularity of the former,…

We solve a weakly singular integral equation by Laplace transformation over a finite interval of R. The equation is transformed into a Cauchy integral equation, whose resolution amounts to solving two Fredholm integral equations of the…

In the Monge-Kantorovich transport problem, the transport cost is expressed in terms of transport maps or transport plans, which play crucial roles there. A variant of the Monge-Kantorovich problem is the ramified (branching) transport…

We provide a unifying interpretation of various optimal transport problems as a minimisation of a linear functional over the set of all Choquet representations of a given pair of probability measures ordered with respect to a certain convex…

We study the Lagrangian formulation of a class of the Monge-Kantorovich optimal transportation problem. It can be considered a stochastic optimal transportation problem for absolutely continuous stochastic processes. A cost function and…

Kink dynamics in spatially discrete nonlinear Klein-Gordon systems is considered. For special choices of the substrate potential, such systems support continuous translation orbits of static kinks with no (classical) Peierls-Nabarro…

We study the complex Monge-Amp\`ere operator in bounded hyperconvex domains of $\C^n$. We introduce a scale of classes of weakly singular plurisubharmonic functions : these are functions of finite weighted Monge-Amp\`ere energy. They…

Starting from Feynman's Lagrangian description of quantum mechanics, we propose a method to construct explicitly the propagator for the Wigner distribution function of a single system. For general quadratic Lagrangians, only the classical…

We consider the numerical construction of minimal Lagrangian graphs, which is related to recent applications in materials science, molecular engineering, and theoretical physics. It is known that this problem can be formulated as an…

This paper introduces a geometrically constrained variational problem for the area functional. We consider the area restricted to the langrangian surfaces of a Kaehler surface, or, more generally, a symplectic 4-manifold with suitable…

We consider (3+1)-dimensional second-order evolutionary PDEs where the unknown $u$ enters only in the form of the 2nd-order partial derivatives. For such equations which possess a Lagrangian, we show that all of them have a symplectic…
