AbstractGiven any n points in the plane, not all on the same line, there exist two non-collinear triples such that the ratio of the areas of the triangles they determine, differs from 1 by at most $$O(\log n/n^2)$$ O ( log n / n 2 ) . If we furthermore insist that the two triangles have a common edge, then there are two with area ratios differing from 1 by at most O(1/n). This improves some results of Ophir and Pinchasi (Discrete Appl. Math. 174 (2014), 122–127). We also give some constructions for these and related problems.

In this paper, we consider the Cauchy problem for the 3D MHD fluid passing through the porous medium, and provide some fundamental Serrin type regularity criteria involving the velocity or its gradient, the pressure or its gradient. This extends and improves [S. Rahman, Regularity criterion for 3D MHD fluid passing through the porous medium in terms of gradient pressure, J. Comput. Appl. Math., 270 (2014), 88-99].

An emerging technique in image segmentation, semi-supervised learning and general classification problems concerns the use of phase-separating flows defined on finite graphs. This technique was pioneered in Bertozzi and Flenner (2012, Multiscale Modeling and Simulation10(3), 1090–1118), which used the Allen–Cahn flow on a graph, and was then extended in Merkurjev et al. (2013, SIAM J. Imaging Sci.6(4), 1903–1930) using instead the Merriman–Bence–Osher (MBO) scheme on a graph. In previous work by the authors, Budd and Van Gennip (2020, SIAM J. Math. Anal.52(5), 4101–4139), we gave a theoretical justification for this use of the MBO scheme in place of Allen–Cahn flow, showing that the MBO scheme is a special case of a ‘semi-discrete’ numerical scheme for Allen–Cahn flow. In this paper, we extend this earlier work, showing that this link via the semi-discrete scheme is robust to passing to the mass-conserving case. Inspired by Rubinstein and Sternberg (1992, IMA J. Appl. Math.48, 249–264), we define a mass-conserving Allen–Cahn equation on a graph. Then, with the help of the tools of convex optimisation, we show that our earlier machinery can be applied to derive the mass-conserving MBO scheme on a graph as a special case of a semi-discrete scheme for mass-conserving Allen–Cahn. We give a theoretical analysis of this flow and scheme, proving various desired properties like existence and uniqueness of the flow and convergence of the scheme, and also show that the semi-discrete scheme yields a choice function for solutions to the mass-conserving MBO scheme.

AbstractWe study the generalized eigenvalue problem in {\mathbb{R}^{N}} for a general convex nonlinear elliptic operator which is locally elliptic and positively 1-homogeneous. Generalizing [H. Berestycki and L. Rossi, Generalizations and properties of the principal eigenvalue of elliptic operators in unbounded domains, Comm. Pure Appl. Math. 68 2015, 6, 1014–1065], we consider three different notions of generalized eigenvalues and compare them. We also discuss the maximum principles and uniqueness of principal eigenfunctions.

AbstractIn this article, we define a convolution operator and study its boundedness on mixed-norm spaces. In particular, we obtain a well-known result on the boundedness of composition operators given by Avetisyan and Stević in [K. Avetisyan and S. Stević, The generalized Libera transform is bounded on the Besov mixed-norm, BMOA and VMOA spaces on the unit disc, Appl. Math. Comput. 213 2009, 2, 304–311]. Also we consider the adjoint {\mathcal{A}^{b,c}} for {b>0} of two parameter families of Cesáro averaging operators and prove the boundedness on Besov mixed-norm spaces {B_{\alpha+(c-1)}^{p,q}} for {c>1}.

AbstractMaps that correctly represent the geographic size and shape of regions, taking into account scaling and generalization, have the disadvantage that small regions can easily be overlooked or not seen at all. Hence, for some map use tasks where small regions are of importance, alternative map types are needed. One option is the so-called equal area unit maps (EAUMs), where every enumeration unit has the same area size, possibly also the same basic shape such as squares or hexagons. The geometrical distortion of EAUMs, however, leads to a more difficult search for regions as well as a falsification of topological relationships and spatial patterns. To describe these distortions, a set of analytical measures is proposed. But it turns out that the expressiveness of these measures is rather limited. To better understand and to model the influence of distortions, two user studies were conducted. The study on the search in EAUMs (also with the aim of reconstruct the search strategies of the users) revealed how important it is to consider the local topology (e.g. corner or border positions of regions) during the generation process. With regard to pattern identification, it could be shown that EAUMs significantly increase the detection rate of local extreme values. On the other hand, global lateral gradients or geostatistical hot spots often get blurred or even lost. As a consequence, a task-oriented selection of map types and further developments are recommended.
