Differentiation through starlike sets in
We investigate the connection between certain logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and generalizations of Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities. A similar connection holds between reverse logarithmic Sobolev inequalities and a new class of reverse Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities.
We introduce the convex cone constituted by the directions of majoration of a quasiconvex function. This cone is used to formulate a qualification condition ensuring the epiconvergence of a sequence of general quasiconvex marginal functions in finite dimensional spaces.
The Mumford-Shah functional, introduced to study image segmentation problems, is approximated in the sense of vergence by a sequence of integral functionals defined on piecewise affine functions.

These discrete approximations can be interpreted (a) as difference schemes for the relevant time-fractional partial differential equation, (b) as random walk models. The relevant convergence questions as well as the behaviour for time tending to infinity...
∗ Research partially supported by INTAS grant 97-1644A real polynomial of one real variable is hyperbolic (resp. strictly hyperbolic) if it has only real roots (resp. if its roots are real and distinct). We prove that there are 116 possible non-degenerate configurations between the roots of a degree 5 strictly hyperbolic polynomial and of its derivatives (i.e. configurations without equalities between roots). The standard Rolle theorem allows 286 such configurations. To obtain the result we study...
We study the relationship between the distortion function and normalized quasisymmetric mappings. This is part of a new method for solving the boundary values problem for an arbitrary K-quasiconformal automorphism of a generalized disc on the extended complex plane.
