We consider minimization of functions that are compositions of convex or prox-regular functions (possibly extended-valued) with smooth vector functions. A wide variety of important optimization problems fall into this framework. We describe…

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…

We show that sweeping processes with possibly non-convex prox-regular constraints generate a strongly continuous input-output mapping in the space of absolutely continuous functions. Under additional smoothness assumptions on the constraint…

The paper is devoted to the study, characterizations, and applications of variational convexity of functions, the property that has been recently introduced by Rockafellar together with its strong counterpart. First we show that these…

We develop the fundamentals of a local regularity theory for prescribed Jacobian equations which extend the corresponding results for optimal transportation equations. In this theory the cost function is extended to a generating function…

We introduce the resolvent composition, a monotonicity-preserving operation between a linear operator and a set-valued operator, as well as the proximal composition, a convexity-preserving operation between a linear operator and a function.…

Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…

In this paper we deal with the convergence of sequences of positive linear maps to a (not assumed to be linear) isometry on spaces of continuous functions. We obtain generalizations of known Korovkin-type results and provide several…

Starting from Sinclair's 1976 work {\it Automatic Continuity of Linear Operators}, Cambridge University Press, (1976), on automatic continuity of linear operators on Banach spaces, we prove that sequences of intertwining continuous linear…

A complete classification of all continuous, epi-translation and rotation invariant valuations on the space of super-coercive convex functions on ${\mathbb R}^n$ is established. The valuations obtained are functional versions of the…
