A relatively polynomially convex subset $V$ of a domain $\Omega$ has the extension property if for every polynomial $p$ there is a bounded holomorphic function $\phi$ on $\Omega$ that agrees with $p$ on $V$ and whose $H^\infty$ norm on…

Let K be the function field of a connected regular scheme S of dimension 1, and let f : X -> Y be a finite cover of projective smooth and geometrically connected curves over K with g(X) greater or equal to 2. Suppose that f can be extended…

In the paper we investigate the continuity properties of the mapping $\Phi$ which sends any non-empty compact connected hv-convex planar set $K$ to the associated generalized conic function $f_K$. The function $f_K$ measures the average…

Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called {\em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $K\subset X$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is…

Let $Y$ be a subspace of a topological vector space $X$, and $A\subset X$ an open convex set that intersects $Y$. We say that the property $(QE)$ [property $(CE)$] holds if every continuous quasiconvex [continuous convex] function on $A\cap…

In some recent work, fractal curvatures C^f_k(F) and fractal curvature measures C^f_k(F, .), k = 0, ..., d, have been determined for all self-similar sets F in R^d, for which the parallel neighborhoods satisfy a certain regularity condition…

We consider convex hulls of random walks whose steps belong to the domain of attraction of a stable law in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We prove convergence of the convex hull in the space of all convex and compact subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$, equipped…

Let $X$ be a normed space of a finite dimension at least two, and $C\subsetneq X$ a closed convex set with nonempty interior. We are interested in extending Lipschitz quasiconvex functions on $C$ to quasiconvex functions on $X$. We show…

Consider a convex relaxation $\hat f$ of a pseudo-boolean function $f$. We say that the relaxation is {\em totally half-integral} if $\hat f(x)$ is a polyhedral function with half-integral extreme points $x$, and this property is preserved…

Let K be a compact convex body in Rd, let Kn be the convex hull of n points chosen uniformly and independently in K, and let fi(Kn) denote the number of i-dimensional faces of Kn. We show that for planar convex sets, E(f0(Kn)) is increasing…

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a continuous bounded function $f: R\to C$ to be a characteristic function of a probability measure. The Cauchy transform $K_f$ of $f$ is used as analytic continuation of $f$ to the upper and…

Given a function f in the exterior of a convex curve in the real plane, we prove that if the restrictions of f to the tangent lines to the curve extend as entire functions, then the function f is an entire function of two variables.

We show how our recent results on compositions of d.c. functions (and mappings) imply positive results on extensions of d.c. functions (and mappings). Examples answering two natural relevant questions are presented. Two further theorems,…

Let $k\in\mathbb{N}_0\cup\{\infty\}$. According to Whitney's extension theorem, each real-valued Whitney $k$-Jet on a closed subset $A\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ can be extended to a $C^k$-function on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Based on Whitney's original…

The aim of this note is to investigate the properties of the convex hull and the homothetic convex hull functions of a convex body $K$ in Euclidean $n$-space, defined as the volume of the union of $K$ and one of its translates, and the…

There is a well known construction of weakly continuous valuations on convex compact polytopes in R^n. In this paper we investigate when a special case of this construction gives a valuation which extends by continuity in the Hausdorff…

We consider convex sets and functions over idempotent semifields, like the max-plus semifield. We show that if $K$ is a conditionally complete idempotent semifield, with completion $\bar{K}$, a convex function $K^n\to\bar{K}$ which is lower…

The convex hull property is the natural generalization of maximum principles from scalar to vector valued functions. Maximum principles for finite element approximations are often crucial for the preservation of qualitative properties of…
