We present a new statistical learning paradigm for Boltzmann machines based on a new inference principle we have proposed: the latent maximum entropy principle (LME). LME is different both from Jaynes maximum entropy principle and from standard maximum likelihood estimation.We demonstrate the LME principle BY deriving …

Study proves Maximum Principles for unbounded Riemannian domains.

In this paper we present a proof of a Neumann type maximum principle for the Laplace operator on compact Riemannian manifolds. A key p oint is the simple geometric nature of the constant in the a priori estimate of this maximum principle. In particular, this maximum principle can be applied to manifolds with Ricci curv…

Proves a principle for one-phase Bernoulli problem minimizers.

In this paper we characterize the degenerate elliptic equations F(D^2u)=0 whose viscosity subsolutions, (F(D^2u) \geq 0), satisfy the strong maximum principle. We introduce an easily computed function f(t) for t > 0, determined by F, and we show that the strong maximum principle holds depending on whether the integral …

Study on maximum principles for nonlinear equations on Riemannian manifolds.

In this paper we prove two extensions of Hamilton's maximal principle for systems pf parabolic equations which sould be useful for the study of the Ricci flow and some other geometric evolution equations. One extension is a time-dependent maximum principle and the other is a time-dependent maximum principle subject to …

In this work we consider viscosity solutions to second order partial differential equations on Riemannian manifolds. We prove maximum principles for solutions to Dirichlet problem on a compact Riemannian manifold with boundary. Using a different method, we generalize maximum principles of Omori and Yau to a viscosity v…

This article studies a discrete geometric structure on triangulated manifolds and an associated curvature flow (combinatorial Yamabe flow). The associated evolution of curvature appears to be like a heat equation on graphs, but it can be shown to not satisfy the maximum principle. The notion of a parabolic-like operato…

Based on works by Hopf, Weinberger, Hamilton and Evans, we state and prove the strong elliptic maximum principle for smooth sections in vector bundles over Riemannian manifolds and give some applications in Differential Geometry. Moreover, we use this maximum principle to obtain various rigidity theorems and Bernstein …

Based on ideas of L. Alías, D. Impera and M. Rigoli developed in "Hypersurfaces of constant higher order mean curvature in warped products", we develope a fairly general weak/Omori-Yau maximum principle for trace operators. We apply this version of maximum principle to generalize several higher order mean curvature est…

In this paper angular curvature measures are investigated. Our first result is a complete classification of translation-invariant angular smooth curvature measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Subsequently, we use this result to show that the class of angular curvature measures on a Riemannian manifold is preserved by both the p…

We prove weak and strong maximum principles, including a Hopf lemma, for smooth subsolutions to equations defined by linear, second-order, partial differential operators whose principal symbols vanish along a portion of the domain boundary. The boundary regularity property of the smooth subsolutions along this boundary…

In this work we extend the ODE Maximum principle of Hamilton to non-compact hypersurfaces using the Omari-Yau maximum principle at infinity. As an application of this result, we investigate Inverse Mean Curvature Flow (IMCF) of non-compact hypersurfaces in hyperbolic space. Specifically, we look at bounded graphs over …

We consider geometric flow equations for contracting and expanding normal velocities, including powers of the Gauss curvature, of the mean curvature, and of the norm of the second fundamental form, and ask whether - after appropriate rescaling - closed strictly convex surfaces converge to spheres. To prove this, many a…

The well known maximum-entropy principle due to Jaynes, which states that given mean parameters, the maximum entropy distribution matching them is in an exponential family, has been very popular in machine learning due to its "Occam's razor" interpretation. Unfortunately, calculating the potentials in the maximum-entro…

Pontryagin's Maximum Principle is an outstanding result for solving optimal control problems by means of optimizing a specific function on some particular variables, the so called controls. However, this is not always enough for solving all these problems. A high order maximum principle (Krener, 1977) must be used in o…

We establish a boundary maximum principle for free boundary minimal submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold with boundary, in any dimension and codimension. Our result holds more generally in the context of varifolds.

We study the strong maximum principle for horizontal (p-) mean curvature operator and p-(sub)laplacian operator on subriemannian manifolds including, in particular, Heisenberg groups and Heisenberg cylinders. Under a certain Hormander type condition on vector fields, we show the strong maximum principle holds in higher…

We discuss the maximum modulus principle, and weak unique continuation, for CR functions on an abstract almost CR manifold M. We investigate these matters under the assumption of weak pseudoconcavity, and obtain sharp results about propagation along Sussmann leaves.

This note is meant to introduce the reader to a duality principle for nonlinear equations that recently appeared in the literature. Motivations come from the desire to give a unifying potential-theoretic framework for various maximum principles at infinity appearing in the literature (Ekeland, Omori-Yau, Pigola-Rigoli-…

In this short note we extend Chow and Lu's advanced maximum principles for parabolic systems on closed manifolds to the case of compact manifolds with boundary, which also generalizes a Hopf type theorem of Pulemotov.

We derive a parabolic version of Omori-Yau maximum principle for a proper mean curvature flow when the ambient space has lower bound on $\ell$-sectional curvature. We apply this to show that the image of Gauss map is preserved under a proper mean curvature flow in euclidean spaces with uniform bounded second fundamenta…

Study maximal hypersurfaces in open spacetimes using a maximum principle.

We present a new geometric unfolding of a prototype problem of optimal control theory, the Mayer problem. This approach is crucially based on the Stokes Theorem and yields to a necessary and sufficient condition that characterizes the optimal solutions, from which the classical Pontryagin Maximum Principle is derived i…

Study on mean curvature flow of graphs in higher dimensions.

The modelling of empirically observed data is commonly done using mixtures of probability distributions. In order to model angular data, directional probability distributions such as the bivariate von Mises (BVM) is typically used. The critical task involved in mixture modelling is to determine the optimal number of co…

We will generalize a Maximum Principle at Infinity in the parabolic case given by De Lima [Ann. Global Anal. Geom. ${\bf 20}$, 325-343 2001] and De Lima and Meeks [Indiana Univ. Math.

A Riemannian manifold $M$ is said to satisfy the Omori-Yau maximum principle if for any $C^2$ bounded function $g:M\to \Bbb R$ there is a sequence $x_n\in M$, such that $\lim_{n\to \infty}g(x_n)=\sup_M g$, $\lim_{n\to \infty}|\nabla g(x_n)|=0$ and $\limsup_{n\to \infty}Δg(x_n)\leq 0$. It is shown that if the Ricci cur…

We generalize A. Borbély's condition for the conclusion of the Omori-Yau maximum principle for the Laplace operator on a complete Riemannian manifold to a second-order linear semi-elliptic operator $L$ with bounded coefficients and no zeroth order term. Also, we consider a new sufficient condition for the existence of …
