Singular invariant measures on the line
We prove a new existence theorem pertaining to the Plateau problem in -dimensional Euclidean space. We compare the approach of E.R. Reifenberg with that of H. Federer and W.H. Fleming. A relevant technical step consists in showing that compact rectifiable surfaces are approximatable in Hausdorff measure and in Hausdorff distance by locally acyclic surfaces having the same boundary.
We study the ``smallness'' of the set of non-hypercyclic vectors for some classical hypercyclic operators.
In this paper we give a complete answer to the famous gradient problem of C. E. Weil. On an open set G ⊂ R2 we construct a differentiable function f: G → R for which there exists an open set Ω1 ⊂ R2 such that ∇f(p) ∈ Ω1 for a p ∈ G but ∇f(q) ∉ Ω1 for almost every q ∈ G. This shows that the Denjoy-Clarkson property does not hold in higher dimensions.
