Abstract

We derive convergence rates for the approximation of the Fr\'echet distribution $\mathcal{F}(\alpha)$ with parameter $\alpha>0$ by sequences of renormalized maxima in the extreme value theorem. Our proofs rely on the application of the infinitesimal generator approach to Stein's method to max-stable distributions, using the family of Markov semi-groups recently introduced in \cite{CostacequePhD, Costaceque24}. We develop two different approaches to compute rates of convergence; the first one relies on the second-order regular variation assumption, while the second one requires the existence of a density function for the base distribution. In particular, with the first approach, our bounds are expressed using the Kolmogorov distance, and the Wasserstein distance when $\alpha>1$. The second approach allows also rates for a smooth H{\"o}lder distance when $\alpha \in (0,1)$. In both cases, we also obtain convergence rates for moments when they exist.

Distribution of points near the origin in the $d$-dimensional Lagrange spectrum

We develop a new framework, inspired by Schmidt's games, to study the Lagrange spectrum for simultaneous Diophantine approximation in dimension $d\geq 2$. We show the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ whose best approximation constant lies in $[\varepsilon,\varepsilon(1+\delta\varepsilon^{d})...

Maximal Regularity and Existence for Superquadratic Parabolic Hamilton--Jacobi Equations: The Endpoint case

We establish interior maximal $L^{q_c}$-regularity for bounded strong solutions of $u_t-\Delta u+|Du|^\gamma=f$ in $\mathbb{T}^d\times(0,T)$, where $d\geq 2$, $\gamma>2$, and $q_c=(d+2)(\gamma-1)/\gamma$. The estimates are uniform for uniformly bounded families of solutions whose source terms range over a bounded, unif...

Exact Asymptotics of the Multidimensional Nikolskii Constant

We prove the exact asymptotics of the multidimensional normalized $L^1$ Nikolskii constant \[ \mathcal L^*(d)=\Bigl(\frac{\pi}{2}+o(1)\Bigr)2^{-d}, \quad d\to\infty. \] In addition, for each fixed dimension we obtain asymptotics for the positive zeros of the extremal function $\varphi_d$, and determine their limiting d...

Gradient estimates for the fractional $p$-Laplacian in the superquadratic regime

We establish gradient potential estimates for solutions obtained as limits of approximations (SOLA) to the fractional $p$-Laplace equation with finite signed Radon measure data. Under the assumptions $n\ge2$, $p>2$, $0p-1$, every SOLA belongs to $W^{1,p-1}_{\mathrm{loc}}$, and its weak gradient satisfies a Wolff potent...

Rearrangements and the Maz'ya-Shaposhnikova limit: $\Gamma$-convergence for truncated interactions

We give a proof of the $\Gamma$-liminf inequality for the Maz'ya--Shaposhni\-kova limit, as $s\to0^+$, of the fractional Sobolev seminorm, based on spherical rearrangements. The key point is that the rearrangements of a weakly convergent sequence are monotone radial profiles, which converge strongly by Helly's theorem;...

Martingale central limit theorems in $p$-Wasserstein distance

We obtain multivariate martingale central limit theorems in $p$-Wasserstein distance with respect to the $\ell_r$ norm in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for $p\geq 1$ and $r\in [1,\infty]$, which generalize the results for $p=1$ and $r=2$ in the literature. As corollaries, we obtain the Yurinskii coupling and Cram\'er-type moderate de...
