Reference request for compact trace embedding for anisotropic Sobolev spaces

Assuming $Q$ is a bounded domain that's as regular as we would like. I am familiar with quite a few trace results, such as the trace embedding $W^{l,p}(Q) \hookrightarrow W^{\bar{l}, p}(\partial Q)$, as is the compactness of that embedding for…

A variant of submodularity

A function $f: \mathbb{R}^2 \to \mathbb{R}$ is said to be submodular if for all $x,y \in \mathbb{R}^2$ it holds $$ f(x \vee y)+f(x \wedge y)\le f(x)+f(y). $$ In particular, if $x_1 \ge y_1$ and $x_2 \le y_2$, this means that $$ f(y_1,x_2)+f(x_2,y_1)…

What is the name of this partial differential equation?

What is the name of the following equation? $$f_t = \nabla \cdot(a(f) \ \nabla f)$$ of course , if we removed the dependency of $a$ on $f$ then we would have the heat equation.

Which Stats Text Is More Math-Intensive?

I have tried many stats textbooks and none of them really works for me. The issue is that there are too many formulas and too little proofs or derivations. Some of these formulas are really technical (ugly) and you can't get the feel on what's…
