In this paper we prove that there exists a smooth classical solution to the HJB equation for a large class of constrained problems with utility functions that are not necessarily differentiable or strictly concave. The value function is smooth if the optimal control satisfies an exponential moment condition or if the value function is continuous on the closure of its domain. The key idea is to ...

We show that if Y is a separable subspace of a Banach space X such that both X and the quotient X/Y have Cp-smooth Lipschitz bump functions, and U is a bounded open subset of X, then, for every uniformly continuous function f : Y ∩U → R and every ε > 0, there exists a Cp-smooth Lipschitz function F : X → R such that |F (y)− f(y)| ≤ ε for every y ∈ Y ∩U . If we are given a separable subspace Y o...

We construct a function on the orbifold fundamental group of the moduli space of smooth theta divisors, which we call the Meyer function for smooth theta divisors. In the construction, we use the adiabatic limits of the η-invariants of the mapping torus of theta divisors. We shall prove that the Meyer function for smooth theta divisors cobounds the signature cocycle, and we determine the values...

hemorrhoidectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with third or fourth-degree hemorrhoids. although the majority of surgeons believe that surgical hemorrhoidectomy is the most effective approach with excellent results in the management of hemorrhoid disease, but hemorrhoidectomy is not a simple procedure. one of the complications of this surgery is an injury to anal sphincters that can l...
