Determining the behavior of a contraction mapping with undefined points
Label $X$ as the real interval $[0, a]$ where $a \in \mathbb{R}^+$, so that $\text{int}(X) = (0, a)$ labels the interior of $X$ and $\partial X$ labels the boundary of $X$. I have a function $f:\text{...

Sets of finite perimeter: intersection with an half space
I have a question regarding sets of finite perimeter. In particular I'm interested to find
$$\mu_{E \cap H_t}, \label{1}\tag{1}$$
where $E$ is a set of finite perimeter in a generic open set $\Omega \...

Continuity/Lipschitz regularity of exponential map from $C_c$ to $\operatorname{Diff}_c$?
For finite-dimensional Lie algebras, see this for a nice example, the exponential map is smooth and in particular, it is locally-Lipschitz onto its image. However, things are different when moving to ...

The set of all functions which vanish at infinity is a subset of the set of all functions which have vanishing variation
Let $X$ be a coarse space, we define the following:
$D_b(X)$ is the set of all bounded functions $f:X\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$
$f\in $$D_b(X)$ is said to vanish at infinity if for each $\varepsilon$>0 ...

Reference request: Projection operators in metric spaces
Given a metric space $(X,d)$ and a subset $S\subset X$, the projection $P_S$ onto $S$ is well-defined as a set valued function. I am interested in learning more about properties of these projections ...

Choosing a convergent sub-sequence from a sequence of bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms
Let $X,Y$ be two compact metric spaces. Suppose there is a sequence of bi-Lipschitz homeomorphisms $f_n: X\to Y$, and $c\in(0,1]$, satisfying
$$c\cdot d(x_1,x_2)\le d(f(x_1),f(x_2))\le \frac{1}{c}\...

Estimate the metric entropy of unit ball in $L^2$ space
Let me clarify the setting I'm thinking.
For any totally bounded metric space $(Y,d_Y)$ and $\varepsilon>0$, the $\textit{metric entropy}$ $N_M(\varepsilon,Y)$ is the smallest number of closed ...

A Pythagorian inequality characterization of inner-product spaces
Let $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ be a real normed space. For any points $A$ and $B$ in $X$, let $AB:=\|A-B\|$. Suppose that for any points $A$ and $B$ in $X$ and any straight line $\ell\subseteq X$ such that $B\...

Are unit balls in Banach spaces retracts of bidual balls?
Let $X$ be a separable Banach space embedded canonically in $X^{**}$. Is there a retraction from the unit ball $B_{X^{**}}$ of $X^{**}$ onto the unit ball $B_X$ of $X$?
When we insist on uniformly ...

Gaussian width and restricted isometry
It is known that, for an $m$ dimensional space and an $n\times m$ dimensional random matrix $U$ whose entries are iid Gaussian, then $\|I-(1/n)U^TU\|$ is bounded by $\sqrt{m/n}$ when $n>m$.
If a ...

Copies of $\ell_\infty^k$ in subspaces of the space of operators between $n$-dimensional Banach spaces
Are there a positive integer $k$ and an unbounded increasing function $d:\mathbb N\to\mathbb N$ (of growth order $\Omega(n^2)$) such that for any $n$-dimensional Banach spaces $X,Y$, the Banach space $...

Strictly increasing functions in reflexive subspaces of $C([0,1])$
By the Banach-Mazur theorem, every separable Banach space $X$ embeds into $C([0,1])$. When $X$ is reflexive, it is not possible to find a sequence of disjointly supported, non-negative functions in ...

An extremal property of points on the unit sphere of a 2-dimensional Banach space
Let $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ be a 2-dimensional real Banach space and $S=\{x\in X:\|x\|=1\}$ be its unit sphere. Assume that $S$ is smooth in the sense that for any $y\in S$ there exists a unique functional $y^...

Dense $G_{\delta}$ set with $\sigma$-porous complement is cofinite?
Let $X$ be a separable Banach space and $D\subseteq X$ be a
proper, connected, and dense $G_{\delta}$ subset of $X$,
$X-D$ is $\sigma$-porous.
Then is $X-D$ contained in a finite-dimensional ...

A Hölder version of the Johnson-Lindenstrauss Lemma on essentially bounded functions
Does there exist a Hölder (not necessarily linear) projection from $L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ to any finite-dimensional linear subspace? This is known when $L^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is replaced by a ...
