In between the inequalities of Sobolev and Hardy

2016

We establish both sufficient and necessary conditions for the validity of the so-called Hardy–Sobolev inequalities on open sets of the Euclidean space. These inequalities form a natural interpolating scale between the (weighted) Sobolev inequalities and the (weighted) Hardy inequalities. The Assouad dimension of the complement of the open set turns out to play an important role in both sufficient and necessary conditions. peerReviewed

Generalized Hausdorff dimension distortion in Euclidean spaces under Sobolev mappings

2010

Abstract We investigate how the integrability of the derivatives of Orlicz–Sobolev mappings defined on open subsets of R n affect the sizes of the images of sets of Hausdorff dimension less than n. We measure the sizes of the image sets in terms of generalized Hausdorff measures.

A short proof of the infinitesimal Hilbertianity of the weighted Euclidean space

2020

We provide a quick proof of the following known result: the Sobolev space associated with the Euclidean space, endowed with the Euclidean distance and an arbitrary Radon measure, is Hilbert. Our new approach relies upon the properties of the Alberti-Marchese decomposability bundle. As a consequence of our arguments, we also prove that if the Sobolev norm is closable on compactly-supported smooth functions, then the reference measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure.

Ein Kriterium f�r die Approximierbarkeit von Funktionen aus sobolewschen R�umen durch glatte Funktionen

1981

The present paper provides a necessary and sufficient criterion for an element of a Sobolev space W k p (Ω) to be approximated in the Sobolev norm by Ck(En)-smooth functions. Here Ω is a bounded open set of n-dimensional Euclidean space En with convex closure $$\bar \Omega$$ and boundary ∂Ω having n-dimensional Lebesgue measure zero. No further boundary regularity (such as e.g. the segment property) is required.Our main tools are the Hardy-Littlewood maximal functions and a slightly strengthened version of a well-known extension theorem of Whitney.This work was inspired by and is very close in spirit to the pertinent parts of Calderon-Zygmund [6].

Équidistribution non archimédienne et actions de groupes sur les arbres = Non-Archimedean equidistribution and group actions on trees

2016

We give equidistribution results of elements of function fields over finite fields, and of quadratic irrationals over these fields, in their completed local fields. We deduce these results from equidistribution theorems of common perpendiculars in quotients of trees by lattices in their automorphism groups, proved by using ergodic properties of the discrete geodesic flow. Nous donnons des résultats d'équidistribution d'éléments de corps de fonctions sur des corps finis, et d'irrationnels quadratiques sur ces corps, dans leurs corps locaux complétés. Nous déduisons ces résultats de théorèmes d'équidistribution de perpendiculaires communes dans des quotients d'arbres par des réseaux de leur g…

Rigidity of quasi-isometries for symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings

1997

Abstract We study quasi-isometries between products of symmetric spaces and Euclidean buildings. The main results are that quasi-isometries preserve the product structure, and that in the irreducible higher rank case, quasi-isometries are at finite distance from homotheties.

Data collected in criminal investigations may suffer from issues like: (i) incompleteness, due to the covert nature of criminal organizations; (ii) incorrectness, caused by either unintentional data collection errors or intentional deception by criminals; (iii) inconsistency, when the same information is collected into law enforcement databases multiple times, or in different formats. In this paper we analyze nine real criminal networks of different nature (i.e., Mafia networks, criminal street gangs and terrorist organizations) in order to quantify the impact of incomplete data, and to determine which network type is most affected by it. The networks are firstly pruned using two specific m…

On the role of symmetry in solving maximum lifetime problem in two-dimensional sensor networks

2016

We analyze a continuous and discrete symmetries of the maximum lifetime problem in two dimensional sensor networks. We show, how a symmetry of the network and invariance of the problem under a given transformation group $G$ can be utilized to simplify its solution. We prove, that for a $G$-invariant maximum lifetime problem there exists a $G$-invariant solution. Constrains which follow from the $G$-invariance allow to reduce the problem and its solution to a subset, an optimal fundamental region of the sensor network. We analyze in detail solutions of the maximum lifetime problem invariant under a group of isometry transformations of a two dimensional Euclidean plane.

Parallel translations, Newton flows and Q-Wiener processes on the Wasserstein space

2022

- We extend the definition of Lott’s Levi-Civita connection to the Wasserstein space of probability measures having density and divergence. We give an extension of a vector field defined along an absolutely curve onto the whole space so that parallel translations can be introduced as done in differential geometry. In the case of torus, we prove the well-posedness of Lott’s equation for parallel translations.- We prove the well-posedness of the Newton flow equation on the Wasserstein space and show the connections between the relaxed Newton flow equation and the Keller-Segel equation.- We establish an intrinsic formalism for Itô stochastic calculus on the Wasserstein space throughout three k…

Existence for shape optimization problems in arbitrary dimension

2002

We discuss some existence results for optimal design problems governed by second order elliptic equations with the homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions or with the interior transmission conditions. We show that our continuity hypotheses for the unknown boundaries yield the compactness of the associated characteristic functions, which, in turn, guarantees convergence of any minimizing sequences for the first problem. In the second case, weaker assumptions of measurability type are shown to be sufficient for the existence of the optimal material distribution. We impose no restriction on the dimension of the underlying Euclidean space.
