Two classical results characterizing regularity of a convergence space in terms of continuous extensions of maps on one hand, and in terms of continuity of limits for the continuous convergence on the other, are extended to…
An open set in C^n is pseudoconvex if and only if its intersection with every affine subspace of complex dimension two as seen as an open set in C^2 is pseudoconvex.
Deformation theory of complex manifolds is a classical subject with recent new advances in the noncompact case using both algebraic and analytic methods. In this note, we recall some concepts of the existing theory and introduce new notions…
We define convexity canonically in the setting of monoids. We show that many classical results from convex analysis hold for functions defined on such groups and semigroups, rather than only on vector spaces. Some examples and…
This article is a survey of recent results on slicing inequalities for convex bodies. The focus is on the setting of arbitrary measures in place of volume.
This is a brief overview of a few selected chapters on automorphism groups of affine varieties. It includes some open questions.
We quickly review and make some comments on the concept of convexity in metric spaces due to Takahashi. Then we introduce a concept of convex structure based convexity to functions on these spaces and refer to it as $W-$convexity.…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of relative convex sequences and establish their fundamental properties, highlighting their similarities to those of convex sequences. Additionally, we prove new inequalities of the Lupas and…
After surveying some known properties of compact convex sets in the plane, we give a two rigorous proofs of the general feeling that supporting lines can be slide-turned slowly and continuously. Targeting a wide readership, our treatment is…
We introduce a new combinatorial abstraction for the graphs of polyhedra. The new abstraction is a flexible framework defined by combinatorial properties, with each collection of properties taken providing a variant for studying the…
The convexity of a set can be generalized to the two weaker notions of reach and $r$-convexity; both describe the regularity of a set's boundary. For any compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^d$, we provide methods for computing upper bounds on…
The construction of an unbounded polyhedron from a "jagged'' convex cap is described, and several of its properties discussed, including its relation to Alexandrov's "limit angle."
In this paper, we give more general definitions of weighted means and MN-convex functions. Using these definitions, we also obtain some generalized results related to properties of MN-convex functions. The importance of this study is that…
Abstract argumentation offers an appealing way of representing and evaluating arguments and counterarguments. This approach can be enhanced by a probability assignment to each argument. There are various interpretations that can be ascribed…
We define cone structures and asymptotic invariants for multigraded systems of ideals, and show that essentially the only restrictions on such structures is convexity, which is imposed formally.
Working with causal models at different levels of abstraction is an important feature of science. Existing work has already considered the problem of expressing formally the relation of abstraction between causal models. In this paper, we…
The science of complexity is far from being fully understood and even its foundations are not well established. On the other hand, during the last decade, the random motion of particles or waves - the so-called diffusion - has been known…
Attribute exploration has been investigated in several studies, with particular emphasis on the algorithmic aspects of this knowledge acquisition method. In its basic version the method itself is rather simple and transparent. But when…
We develop the calculus of superforms as a tool for convex geometry. The formalism is applied to valuations on convex bodies, the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities and Monge- Amp\`ere equations on the boundary of convex bodies.
In this note we show that a connected, closed and locally convex subset (with an extra assumption on the diameter with respect to the induced length metric if $\kappa>0$) of a $CAT(\kappa)$ space is convex.
