We show a general phenomenon of the constrained functional value for densities satisfying general convexity conditions, which generalizes the observation in Bobkov and Madiman (2011) that the entropy per coordinate in a log-concave random…

In this article, we prove the following interpolation problem: if the composition of a function and a regular map between affine varieties is a regular function, then there exists a global regular function of the target variety that…

For a function defined on a convex set in a Euclidean space, midpoint convexity is the property requiring that the value of the function at the midpoint of any line segment is not greater than the average of its values at the endpoints of…

We shown that every continuous local functional on the space of finite convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is a valuation. This relation is used to establish a homogeneous decomposition for the class of polynomial local functionals as well…

In this work we deal with set-valued functions with values in the power set of a separated locally convex space where a nontrivial pointed convex cone induces a partial order relation. A set-valued function is evenly convex if its epigraph…

It is known that a real function $f$ is convex if and only if the set $$\mathrm{E}(f)=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R};\ f(x)\leq y\},$$ the epigraph of $f$ is a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We state an extension of this result for…

A. Ya. Zaslavskii's results on the existence of a linear (affine) selection for a linear (affine) or superlinear (convex) map $\Phi : K \to 2^Y$ defined on a convex cone (convex set) $K$ having the interpolation property are extended. We…

We consider the space of real-valued continuously differentiable functions on a compact subset of a euclidean space. We characterize the completeness of this space and prove that the space of restrictions of continuously differentiable…

It is established that general s-convex functions are a new class of generalized convex functions. In a similar vein, a new class of general s-convex sets is introduced, which are generalizations of s-convex sets. Additionally, certain…

In a recent work, Roelands and Tiersma proved that, for a compact convex set $K$, the space $A(K)$ of all real-valued continuous affine functions on $K$, is a JB-algebra if and only if there is a gauge-reversing bijection on $A_c(K)$, the…

In this article, we derive a common fixed point result for a pair of single valued and set-valued mappings on a metric space having graphical structure. In this case, the set-valued map is assumed to be closed valued instead of closed and…

The paper is devoted to a detailed analysis of nonlocal error bounds for nonconvex piecewise affine functions. We both improve some existing results on error bounds for such functions and present completely new necessary and/or sufficient…

We determine those maps between affine or projective spaces that are linear in the abstract sense of transforming collinear points into collinear points and whose restriction to any line is constant or injective. Our results are extensions…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a real open interval $I$ is called $\Phi$-convex if, for all $x,y\in I$, $t\in[0,1]$ it satisfies $$ f(tx+(1-t)y)\leq tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)+t\Phi\big((1-t)|x-y|\big)+(1-t)\Phi\big(t|x-y|\big), $$ where…
