Lebesgue Covering Theorem and level sets of continuous functions

Abstract

We formulate and prove a dimension-theoretic generalization of a version of the Lebesgue Covering Theorem. A generalized $n$-dimensional version of the Steinhaus Chessboard Theorem, recently proved algorithmically by Turzański and Ziajor, is a particular case of this result. Moreover, we study two types of sets associated with a continuous function $g \colon [0,1]^n \to \mathbb{R}$. Namely, the set of all points $p \in \mathbb{R}$ such that the fiber $g^{-1}[\left\{p\right\}]$ connects $i$th opposite faces of $[0,1]^n$, and the set of all points $p \in \mathbb{R}$ such that the fiber $g^{-1}[\left\{p\right\}]$ separates $i$th opposite faces of $[0, 1]^n$.

Regular specular differentiation in Euclidean spaces

We study the regular specular derivative, a generalized derivative defined at every point where both one-sided derivatives exist and are finite. Geometrically, it is the slope of the mirror that reflects the left tangent ray into the right one. In one variable we derive computational formulas, prove inverse function and rotation rules, establish Quasi-Rolle's Theorem and the Quasi-Mean Value Theorem, and obtain a derivative-limit theorem, which shows that twice regularly specularly differentiable functions are continuously differentiable. We also prove both parts of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. In several variables we introduce specular gradients, directional derivatives, tangent hyperplanes, and normal vectors, show that a continuous specular gradient forces classical differentiability, and characterize when the specular tangent hyperplane is unique.

Prevalent smoothness in inhomogeneous Besov spaces

In this article, we prove that, under some assumptions on the so-called environment, prevalent functions in inhomogeneous Besov spaces recently introduced by Barral-Seuret in 2023 are multifractal, with a singularity spectrum that we determine. This completes the previous Baire generic results already obtained.

Certified Spherical MUSIC for 3D Localization under Adversarial Subspace Perturbations

We study an oracle subspace-perturbation model for 3D localization. The procedure is given an $s$-dimensional subspace $\widetilde{\mathcal U}$ and a deterministic error bound \[ \varepsilon_{\mathrm{sub}} = \left\|P_{\widetilde{\mathcal U}}-P_{\mathcal U}\right\|_2, \] where $\mathcal{U}$ is an $s$-dimensional subspace of far-field patterns with wavenumber $κ$, and $P_{\mathcal{V}}$ denotes orthogonal projection onto a subspace $\mathcal{V}$. Under explicit separation and conditioning hypotheses for arbitrary point clouds, we prove that the perturbed spherical MUSIC objective \[ \widetilde{q}({\mathbf z}) = 1-\left\|P_{\widetilde{\mathcal{U}}}φ_{\mathbf z}\right\|_2^2 \] has a unique strongly convex well in every ball $B_{γ/κ}(x_j)$ and a uniform value gap outside the union of the certified wells. A fixed-step gradient map with $h\asympκ^{-2}$ leaves each well invariant and converges linearly to its unique minimizer. Consequently, thresholding on an $O(κ^{-1})$-mesh, followed by gradient descent and duplicate removal, recovers all relevant minima with localization bound \[ \mathfrak{R}(\varepsilon_{\mathrm{sub}}) \lesssim \frac{\varepsilon_{\mathrm{sub}}}κ. \] The arbitrary-cloud frame analysis yields the sufficient condition \[ κδ_X\gtrsim s^{2/3} \] through an absolute coherence row sum and Gershgorin's theorem. We construct lower-frame counterexamples below the $s^{1/6}$ scale, upper-frame counterexamples below the $s^{1/3}$ scale, and examples showing that $2/3$ is optimal for the absolute-row-sum argument. Finally, for parameter classes containing a uniformly admissible one-point displacement path, we prove \[ \mathfrak{R}(\varepsilon_{\mathrm{sub}}) \sim \frac{\varepsilon_{\mathrm{sub}}}κ. \]
