Paper solves Carathéodory's conjecture for $C^2$-regular convex surfaces.

This paper investigates the problem of recovering missing samples using methods based on sparse representation adapted especially for image signals. Instead of $l_2$-norm or Mean Square Error (MSE), a new perceptual quality measure is used as the similarity criterion between the original and the reconstructed images. T…

In this paper, we give a relationship between the eigenvalues of the Hodge Laplacian and the eigenvalues of the Jacobi operator for a free boundary minimal hypersurface of a Euclidean convex body. We then use this relationship to obtain new index bounds for such minimal hypersurfaces in terms of their topology. In part…

The paper proves the existence and properties of geodesics on convex surfaces.

The notion of topological degree is studied for mappings from the boundary of a relatively compact strictly pseudo-convex domain in a Stein manifold into a manifold in terms of index theory of Toeplitz operators on the Hardy space. The index formalism of non-commutative geometry is used to derive analytic integral form…

We show that the Morse index of a properly embedded free boundary minimal hypersurface in a strictly mean convex domain of the Euclidean space grows linearly with the dimension of its first relative homology group (which is at least as big as the number of its boundary components, minus one). In ambient dimension three…

In this paper, the following three are shown. (1) For a $C^\infty$ convex integrand $γ: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+$, its dual convex integrand $δ: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+$ is of class $C^\infty$. (2) For a stable convex integrand $γ: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+$, its dual convex integrand $δ: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+$ is stable. (3) Let $γ: S…

In this paper, we investigate simultaneous properties of a convex integrand $γ$ and its dual $δ$. The main results are the following three. (1) For a $C^\infty$ convex integrand $γ: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+$, its dual convex integrand $δ: S^n\to \mathbb{R}_+$ is of class $C^\infty$ if and only if $γ$ is a strictly convex in…

Scalar curvature rigidity for products of convex hypersurfaces

Inspired by work of Ejiri-Micallef on closed minimal surfaces, we compare the energy index and the area index of a free-boundary minimal surface of a Riemannian manifold with boundary, and show that the area index is controlled from above by the area and the topology of the surface. Combining these results with work of…

In this paper, we consider compact free boundary constant mean curvature surfaces immersed in a mean convex body of the Euclidean space or in the unit sphere. We prove that the Morse index is bounded from below by a linear function of the genus and number of boundary components.

This paper studies the parabolic free boundary problem arising from pricing American-style put options on an asset whose index follows a geometric Brownian motion process. The contribution is to propose a condition for that the early exercise boundary is a convex function.

We study the restless bandit associated with an extremely simple scalar Kalman filter model in discrete time. Under certain assumptions, we prove that the problem is indexable in the sense that the Whittle index is a non-decreasing function of the relevant belief state. In spite of the long history of this problem, thi…

We present and analyze a central cutting surface algorithm for general semi-infinite convex optimization problems, and use it to develop a novel algorithm for distributionally robust optimization problems in which the uncertainty set consists of probability distributions with given bounds on their moments. Moments of a…

We study the Morse index of self-shrinkers for the mean curvature flow and, more generally, of $f$-minimal hypersurfaces in a weighted Euclidean space endowed with a convex weight. When the hypersurface is compact, we show that the index is bounded from below by an affine function of its first Betti number. When the fi…

Properly convex manifolds with generalized cusps have irreducible holonomy.

We prove that the half-integer valued local index of an isolated umbilic point on a $C^{3+α}$-smooth convex surface in Euclidean 3-space is less than two. The approach is to study the co-kernel of an associated Riemann-Hilbert boundary value problem. The link between the local and global is a semi-local technique that …

In this paper, we study the missing sample recovery problem using methods based on sparse approximation. In this regard, we investigate the algorithms used for solving the inverse problem associated with the restoration of missed samples of image signal. This problem is also known as inpainting in the context of image …

Market liquidity plays a vital role in the field of market micro-structure, because it is the vigor of the financial market.

A new tail-shape index based on Value at Risk and Expected Shortfall.

We show that every finite dimensional Hausdorff (not necessarily paracompact, not necessarily second countable) $C^r$-manifold can be embedded into a weakly complete vector space, i.e. a locally convex topological vector space of the form ${\mathbb R}^I$ for an uncountable index set $I$ and determine the minimal cardin…

It is known that every infinite index quasi-convex subgroup $H$ of a non-elementary hyperbolic group $G$ is a free factor in a larger quasi-convex subgroup of $G$. We give a probabilistic generalization of this result. That is, we show that when $R$ is a subgroup generated by independent random walks in $G$, then $\lan…

A short proof of the Caratheodory conjecture about index of an isolated umbilic on the convex 2-dimensional sphere is suggested. The argument is based on the study of geodesic lines near cone-type singularity of a metric induced by holomorphic quadratic differentials.
