We prove$L$^{$q$}-inequalities for the gradient of the Green potential ($Gf$) in bounded, connected NTA-domains in$R$^{$n$},$n$≥2. These domains may have a highly non-rectifiable boundary and in the plane the set of all bounded simply connected NTA-domains coincides with the set of all quasidiscs. We get a restriction on the exponent$q$for which our inequalities are valid in terms of the validity of a reverse Hölder inequality for the Green function close to the boundary.

We study the super-resolution (SR) problem of recovering point sources consisting of a collection of isolated and suitably separated spikes from only the low frequency measurements. If the peak separation is above a factor in $(1, 2)$ of the Rayleigh length (physical resolution limit), L1 minimization is guaranteed to recover such sparse signals. However, below such critical length scale, especially the Rayleigh length, the $L_1$ certificate no longer exists. We show several local properties (local minimum, directional stationarity, and sparsity) of the limit points of minimizing two $L_1$ based nonconvex penalties, the difference of $L_1$ and $L_2$ norms $(L_{1-2})$ and capped $L_1 (CL_1)$, subject to the measurement constraints. In one and two dimensional numerical SR examples,the local optimal solutions from dierence of convex function algorithms outperform the global L1 solutions near or below Rayleigh length scales either in the accuracy of ground truth recovery or in nding a sparse solution satisfying the constraints more accurately.

We give a new, simple algorithm for simultaneous degree elevation and knot insertion for B-spline curves. The method is based on the simple approach of computing derivatives using the control points, resampling the knot vector, and then computing the new control points from the derivatives. We compare our approach with previous algorithms and illustrate it with examples.
