Sard's Theorem For Banach Spaces
Given a smooth map from $\phi: B \rightarrow M$ where $B$ is a Banach Space and $M$ is a finite dimensional smooth manifold (for example, the end point map for a control system), what is the strongest ...

How to minimize this sparse quadratic function?
There is a problem when I'm reading a paper.
Equation:
$min_p|p-p^*|^2+\alpha |R(p)|^2 + \beta |D(p)-\delta|^2$,
where $p, p^*, R(p), D(p), \delta$ are all $M\times N$ matrices, and $p^*, R(), D(), ...

Delta-convex functions and inner products
A delta-convex (d.c.) function is one which can be written as the difference of two convex functions.
The space of d.c. functions includes all C2 functions, and is interesting because it allows many ...

Solutions to Heat Equations with Obstacles!
Consider a closed Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and a positive function $\psi: M \to R$. Fix a point $p \in M$, I have been struggling to construct a solution to the heat equation, $\partial_t u = \...
