We consider the space of convex functions defined in the Euclidean $n$-dimensional space, which are lower semi-continuous and tend to infinity at infinity. We study real-valued valuations defined on this space of functions, which are…

We extend a classical result of Caughran/Schwartz and another recent result of Gunatillake by showing that if D is a bounded, convex domain in n-dimensional complex space, m is a holomorphic function on D and bounded away from zero toward…

We explore the relationship between convex and subharmonic functions on discrete sets. Our principal concern is to determine the setting in which a convex function is necessarily subharmonic. We initially consider the primary notions of…

The (delta-) normal cone to an arbitrary intersection of sublevel sets of proper, lower semicontinuous, and convex functions is characterized, using either epsilon-subdifferentials at the nominal point or exact subdifferentials at nearby…

In Persistent Homology and Topology, filtrations are usually given by introducing an ordered collection of sets or a continuous function from a topological space to $\R^n$. A natural question arises, whether these approaches are equivalent…

We establish a fixed point theorem for mappings of square matrices of all sizes which respect the matrix sizes and direct sums of matrices. The conclusions are stronger if such a mapping also respects matrix similarities, i.e., is a…

In this paper, two new lemmas are proved and inequalities are established for co-ordinated convex functions and co-ordinated s-convex functions.

Let $h$ be a harmonic function defined on a spherical disk. It is shown that $\Delta^k |h|^2$ is nonnegative for all $k\in \mathbb{N}$ where $\Delta$ is the Laplace-Beltrami operator. This fact is generalized to harmonic functions defined…

We study the smoothness and preserving orientation properties of a global and nonautonomous version of the Hartman--Grobman Theorem when the linear system has a nonuniform contraction on the half line. The nonuniform contraction implies the…

In this paper we consider composition operators on locally convex spaces of functions defined on $\mathbb{R}$. We prove results concerning supercyclicity, power boundedness, mean ergodicity and convergence of the iterates in the strong…

The Lebesgue property (order-continuity) of a monotone convex function on a solid vector space of measurable functions is characterized in terms of (1) the weak inf-compactness of the conjugate function on the order-continuous dual space,…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a difference of convex (DC, for short) functions, defined on a locally convex space, to be Lipschitz continuous. Our criterion relies on the intersections of the "epsilon-subdifferentials of…

In this paper we give a simple proof of inequalities of integrals of functions which are the composition of nonnegative continous convex functions on a vector space ${\bf R}^m$ and vector-valued functions in a weakly compact subset of a…

Dorff, proved in [2] that the convolution of two harmonic right-half plane mappings is convex in the direction of real axis provided that the convolution is locally univalent and sense preserving. Later, it was shown in [3] that the…

There are two definitions of the measurable functional on the topological vector space: as a linear and measurable real-valued function and as a pointwise limit of the sequence of the continious linear functionals. In general case they are…

The basic results for nonlinear operators are given. These results include nonlinear versions of classical uniform boundedness theorem and Hahn-Banach theorem. Furthermore, the mappings from a metrizable space into another normed space can…

We prove that, in general, given a $p$-harmonic map $F:M\to N$ and a convex function $H:N\to\mathbb{R}$, the composition $H\circ F$ is not $p$-subharmonic. By assuming some rotational symmetry on manifolds and functions, we reduce the…

We give complete and exact descriptions of spaces of ultradifferentiable functions that are closed under composition with either holomorphic or ultradifferentiable functions -- which are two distinct cases. The proof works by considering…

Let $D^2 \subset C$ be a closed two-dimensional disk and $f:D^2 \to R$ be a continuous function such that a restriction of $f$ to $\partial D^2$ is a continuous function with a finite number of local extrema and $f$ has a finite number of…

Under the linear regression framework, we study the variable selection problem when the underlying model is assumed to have a small number of nonzero coefficients (i.e., the underlying linear model is sparse). Non-convex penalties in…
