A method of proving local continuity of concave functions on convex set possessing the $\mu$-compactness property is presented. This method is based on a special approximation of these functions. The class of $\mu$-compact sets can be…

Given $n$ distinct points $\mathbf{x}_1, \ldots, \mathbf{x}_n$ in $\mathbb{R}^d$, let $K$ denote their convex hull, which we assume to be $d$-dimensional, and $B = \partial K $ its $(d-1)$-dimensional boundary. We construct an explicit…

We prove that for a continuum $K\subset \mathbb R^n$ the sum $K^{+n}$ of $n$ copies of $K$ has non-empty interior in $\mathbb R^n$ if and only if $K$ is not flat in the sense that the affine hull of $K$ coincides with $\mathbb R^n$.…

In this note, as a particular case of a more general result, we obtain the following theorem: Let $\Omega\subseteq {\bf R}^n$ be a non-empty bounded open set and let $f:\overline {\Omega}\to {\bf R}^n$ be a continuous function which is…

We present necessary and sufficient conditions on planar compacta $K$ and continuous functions $f$ on $K$ in order that $f$ generates the algebras $P(K), R(K), A(K)$ or $C(K)$. We also unveil quite surprisingly simple examples of…

Jensen's inequality is ubiquitous in measure and probability theory, statistics, machine learning, information theory and many other areas of mathematics and data science. It states that, for any convex function $f\colon K \to \mathbb{R}$…

Convex roof extensions are widely used to create entanglement measures in quantum information theory. The aim of the article is to present some tools which could be helpful for their treatment. Sections 2 and 3 introduce into the subject.…

In this work, we discuss the continuity of $h$-convex functions by introducing the concepts of $h$-convex curves ($h$-cord). Geometric interpretation of $h$-convexity is given. The fact that for a $h$-continuous function $f$, is being…

We study the local and global versions of the convexity, which is closely related to the problem of extending a convex function on a non-convex domain to a convex function on the convex hull of the domain and beyond the convex hull. We also…

We introduce sufficient as well as necessary conditions for a compact set $K$ such that there is a continuous linear extension operator from the space of restrictions $C^\infty(K)=\lbrace F|_K: F\in C^\infty(\mathbb R)\rbrace$ to…

Let $E \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact set, and $f:E \to \mathbb{R}$. How can we tell if there exists a convex extension $F \in C^{1,1}(\mathbb{R}^n)$ of $f$, i.e. satisfying $F|_E = f|_E$? Assuming such an extension exists, how small…

Many entanglement measures are first defined for pure states of a bipartite Hilbert space, and then extended to mixed states via the convex roof extension. In this article we alter the convex roof extension of an entanglement measure, to…
