In this note, we find a sharp bound for the minimal number (or in general, indexing set) of subspaces of a fixed (finite) codimension needed to cover any vector space V over any field. If V is a finite set, this is related to the problem of…

In this paper we establish a general framework in which the verification of support theorems for generalized convex functions acting between an algebraic structure and an ordered algebraic structure is still possible. As for the domain…

Our work over the past years shows that not only the collection of (for instance) all topological spaces gives rise to a category, but also each topological space can be seen individually as a category by interpreting the convergence…

Building sets were introduced in the study of wonderful compactifications of hyperplane arrangement complements and were later generalized to finite meet-semilattices. Convex geometries, the duals of antimatroids, offer a robust…

In the paper we consider convex cones in infinite-dimensional real vector spaces which are endowed with no topology. The main purpose is to study an internal geometric structure of convex cones and to obtain an analytical description of…

Problems related to projections on closed convex cones are frequently encountered in optimization theory and related fields. To study these problems, various unifying ideas have been introduced, including asymmetric vector-valued norms and…

Various characterizations of finite convex geometries are well known. This note provides similar characterizations for possibly infinite convex geometries whose lattice of closed sets is strongly coatomic and lower continuous. Some classes…

A convexity space is a set X with a chosen family of subsets (called convex subsets) that is closed under arbitrary intersections and directed unions. There is a lot of interest in spaces that have both a convexity space and a topological…

The category of super convex spaces, a proper subcategory of convex spaces, possesses the property that it has a codense subcategory. This codense subcategory allows for an elementary proof that the Giry monad factorizes through the…

We usually define an algebraic structure by a set, some operations defined on this set and some propositions that the algebraic structure must validate. In some cases, we can replace these propositions by an algorithm on terms constructed…

We show that the definition of an algebraic basis for a vector space allows the construction of an isomorphism with the one here called Algebraic Vector Space. Although the concept does not bring anything new, we mention some of the…

In The factorization of the Giry monad (arXiv:1707.00488v2) the author asserts that the category of convex spaces is equivalent to the category of Eilenberg-Moore algebras over the Giry monad. Some of the statements employed in the proof of…

We introduce combinatorial types of arrangements of convex bodies, extending order types of point sets to arrangements of convex bodies, and study their realization spaces. Our main results witness a trade-off between the combinatorial…

Any solid object can be decomposed into a collection of convex polytopes (in short, convexes). When a small number of convexes are used, such a decomposition can be thought of as a piece-wise approximation of the geometry. This…

We study a combinatorial notion where given a set of lattice points one takes the set of all sums of subsets of a fixed size, and we ask if the given set comes from a convex lattice polytope whether the resulting set also comes from a…

In [1] we introduced the concept of structured space, which is a topological space that locally resembles some algebraic structures. In [2] we proceeded the study of these spaces, developing two cohomology theories. The aim of this paper is…

This paper defines, for each convex polytope $\Delta$, a family $H_w\Delta$ of vector spaces. The definition uses a combination of linear algebra and combinatorics. When what is called exact calculation holds, the dimension $h_w\Delta$ of…
