The Li-Yau-Hamilton Estimate and the Yang-Mills Heat Equation on Manifolds with Boundary
The paper pursues two connected goals. Firstly, we establish the Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate for the heat equation on a manifold $M$ with nonempty boundary. Results of this kind are typically used to prove monotonicity formulas related to geometric flows. Secondly, we establish bounds for a solution $\nabla(t)$ of the Yang-Mills heat equation in a vector bundle over $M$. The Li-Yau-Hamilton estimate is utilized in the proofs. Our results imply that the curvature of $\nabla(t)$ does not blow up if the dimension of $M$ is less than 4 or if the initial energy of $\nabla(t)$ is sufficiently small.
Geodesic connectedness of semi-Riemannian manifolds
The question whether a Riemannian manifold is geodesically connected can be studied from geometrical as well as variational methods, and accurate results can be obtained by using the associated distance and related properties of the positive-definiteness. It is natural to state this problem in manifolds with (possibly non-smooth) boundary, and some conditions on this boundary has been studied. 
For Lorentzian manifolds, the results cannot be so general, and very different techniques has been introduced which are satisfactory for some classes of Lorentzian manifolds: spaceforms, disprisoning and pseudoconvex manifolds, stationary, globally hyperbolic or multiwarped spacetimes... Some of them are appliable to semi-Riemannian manifolds with higher index or even to manifolds with just an affine connection. 
Our purpose is to review these semi-Riemannian techniques, discussing the results and possible extensions.
ASYMPTOTIC PROPERTIES OF SOME CLASSES OF GENERALIZED FUNCTIONS
This paper studies the connection between the asymptotic and quasi-asymptotic properties at infinity of slowly increasing generalized functions with supports on the half-line and the asymptotic and quasi-asymptotic properties of the real parts of their Laplace and Fourier transforms in a neighborhood of the origin. The study is caried out in the scale of regularly varying self-similar functions. The results are applied to the study of the asymptotic properties of solutions of linear passive systems, and also to the study of the connection between Abel and Ces?ro convergence (with respect to a self-similar weight) of the Fourier-Stieltjes series of nonnegative measures.
