We present here a new method for approximating functions defined on superreflexive Banach spaces by differentiable functions with $\alpha$-H\"older derivatives (for some $0<\alpha\leq 1$). The smooth approximation is given by means of an…
Submodular set-functions have many applications in combinatorial optimization, as they can be minimized and approximately maximized in polynomial time. A key element in many of the algorithms and analyses is the possibility of extending the…
A classification of $\operatorname{SL}(n)$ and translation covariant Minkowski valuations on log-concave functions is established. The moment vector and the recently introduced level set body of log-concave functions are characterized.…
We propose a unified view of the polarity of functions, that encompasses all specific definitions, generalizes several well-known properties and provides new results. We show that bipolar sets and bipolar functions are isomorphic lattices.…
Schur-Weyl duality is a fundamental framework in combinatorial representation theory. It intimately relates the irreducible representations of a group to the irreducible representations of its centralizer algebra. We investigate the analog…

We establish analogues in the context of group actions or group representations of some classical problems and results in additive combinatorics of groups. We also study the notion of left invariant submodular function defined on power sets…
In problems involving matrix computations, the concept of leverage has found a large number of applications. In particular, leverage scores, which relate the columns of a matrix to the subspaces spanned by its leading singular vectors, are…
From an identity connecting a combinatorial sum and Legendre polynomials, we derive closed forms for a number of combinatorial sums. Some of them are obtained via results about the integrals of functions associated with Legendre…
The problem of minimizing an integral functional of a vector-valued Lagrangian on a set of admissible arcs with given endpoints is considered. The problem is tackled by embedding it into a set-optimization problem such that the image space…
The main objective of this paper is to give a wide study on the conformable fractional Legendre polynomials (CFLPs). This study is assumed to be a generalization and refinement, in an easy way, of the scalar case into the context of the…
In this research article, we formulate and prove multidimensional Widder--Arendt theorem and integrated form of multidimensional Widder--Arendt theorem for functions with values in sequentially complete locally convex spaces. Established…
We establish new explicit connections between classical (scalar) and matrix Gegenbauer polynomials, which result in new symmetries of the latter and further give access to several properties that have been out of reach before: generating…
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…
Based on results by Brugall\'e and Mikhalkin, Fomin and Mikhalkin give formulas for computing classical Severi degrees $N^{d, \delta}$ using long-edge graphs. In 2012, Block, Colley and Kennedy considered the logarithmic version of a…
Scalar-valued meromorphic Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions are characterized by the interlacing property of their poles and zeros together with some growth properties. We give a characterization of matrix-valued Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions…
A Fenchel-Moreau type duality for proper convex and lower semi-continuous functions $f\colon X\to \overline{L^0}$ is established where $(X,Y,\langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ is a dual pair of Banach spaces and $\overline{L^0}$ is the set of…
We investigate integral representation of vector-valued function spaces, i.e., of subspaces $H\subset C(K,E)$, where $K$ is a compact space and $E$ is a (real or complex) Banach space. We point out that there are two possible ways of…
