We show differentiability of a class of Geroch’s volume functions on globally hyperbolic manifolds. Furthermore, we prove that every volume function satisfies a local anti-Lipschitz condition over causal curves, and that locally Lipschitz time functions which are locally antiLipschitz can be uniformly approximated by smooth time functions with timelike gradient. Finally, we prove that in stably...

In this paper we address some of the most fundamental questions regarding the diierentiability structure of locally Lipschitz functions deened on Banach spaces. For example, we examine the relationship between inte-grability, D-representability and strict diierentiability. In addition to this, we show that on a large class of Banach spaces there is a signiicant family of locally Lipschitz funct...

In this paper we address some of the most fundamental questions regarding the differentiability structure of locally Lipschitz functions defined on separable Banach spaces. For example, we examine the relationship between integrability, D-representability, and strict differentiability. In addition to this, we show that on any separable Banach space there is a significant family of locally Lipsc...

Let M and N be doubly connected Riemann surfaces with $${\mathscr {C}}^{1,\alpha }$$ boundaries nonvanishing conformal metrics $$\sigma $$ $$\wp respectively, assume that is a smooth metric bounded Gauss curvature $${\mathcal {K}}$$ finite area. Assume {H}}^\wp (M, N)$$ the class of all {W}}^{1,2}$$ homeomorphisms between {E}}^\wp : {\mathcal N)\rightarrow {\mathbf {R}}$$ Dirichlet-energy funct...

We deal with backward stochastic differential equations (BSDE for short) driven by Teugel’s martingales and an independent Brownian motion. We study the existence, uniqueness and comparison of solutions for these equations under a Lipschitz as well as a locally Lipschitz conditions on the coefficient. In the locally Lipschitz case, we prove that if the Lipschitz constant LN behaves as √ log(N) ...

It is shown that sufficiently close outer and inner parallel sets to a ddimensional Lipschitz manifold in R with boundary have locally positive reach and the normal cycle of the Lipschitz manifold can be defined as limit of normal cycles of the parallel sets in the flat seminorms for currents, provided that the normal cycles of the parallel set have locally bounded mass. The Gauss-Bonnet formul...

The notion of a secant for locally Lipschitz continuous functions is introduced and a new algorithm to locally minimize nonsmooth, nonconvex functions based on secants is developed. We demonstrate that the secants can be used to design an algorithm to find descent directions of locally Lipschitz continuous functions. This algorithm is applied to design a minimization method, called a secant met...

It is shown that a locally Lipschitz function is approximately convex if, and only if, its Clarke subdifferential is a submonotone operator. Consequently, in finite dimensions, the class of locally Lipschitz approximately convex functions coincides with the class of lower-C functions. Directional approximate convexity is introduced and shown to be a natural extension of the class of lower-C fun...

In this paper we show that a “locally Lipschitz” locally compact transformation group acting continuously and effectively on a connected paracompact locally Euclidean topological manifold is a Lie group. This is a contribution to the proof of the Hilbert-Smith conjecture. It generalizes the classical Bochner-Montgomery-Kuranishi Theorem[1, 9] and also the Repovš-Ščepin Theorem [17] which holds ...

We show that a locally Ahlfors 2-regular and locally linearly locally contractible metric surface is locally quasisymmetrically equivalent to the disk. We also discuss an application of this result to the problem of characterizing surfaces in some Euclidean space that are locally bi-Lipschitz equivalent to an open subset of the plane.
