Let $D$ be a convex subset of a real vector space. It is shown that a radially lower semicontinuous function $f: D\to \mathbf{R}\cup \{+\infty\}$ is convex if and only if for all $x,y \in D$ there exists $\alpha=\alpha(x,y) \in (0,1)$ such…

In this paper, we establish characterizations of variational $s$-convexity and tilt stability for prox-regular functions in the absence of subdifferential continuity via quadratic bundles, a kind of primal-dual generalized second-order…

We find an equivalent condition for a real function $f:[a,b]\to\R$ to be Lebesgue equivalent to an $n$-times differentiable function ($n\geq 2$); a simple solution in the case $n=2$ appeared in an earlier paper. For that purpose, we…

Strong geodesic convex function and strong monotone vector field of order $m$ on Riemannian manifolds have been established. A characterization of strong geodesic convex function of order $m$ for the continuously differentiable functions…

We show that many important convex matrix functions can be represented as the partial infimal projection of the generalized matrix fractional (GMF) and a relatively simple convex function. This representation provides conditions under which…

In this paper, we state some characterizations of $h$-convex function is defined on a convex set in a linear space. By doing so, we extend the Jensen-Mercer inequality for $h$-convex function. We will also define $h$-convex function for…

Finding the minimum and the minimizers of convex functions has been of primary concern in convex analysis since its conception. It is well-known that if a convex function has a minimum, then that minimum is global. The minimizers, however,…

By considering a fixed point in unit disk $\Delta$, a new class of univalent convex functions is defined. Coefficient inequalities, integral operator and extreme points of this class are obtained.

Given a function $f$ defined on a nonempty and convex subset of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, we prove that if $f$ is bounded from below and it satisfies a convexity-type functional inequality with infinite convex combinations, then…

The notion of constructible functions in the setting of tame real geometry has been introduced by Cluckers and Dan Miller in their work on parametric integration of globally subanalytic functions. A function on a globally subanalytic set is…

We define a symmetric derivative on an arbitrary nonempty closed subset of the real numbers and derive some of its properties. It is shown that real-valued functions defined on time scales that are neither delta nor nabla differentiable can…

We define the algebra of Colombeau generalized functions on a subset A of the space of d-dimensional generalized points. If the domain A is open, such generalized functions can be identified with pointwise maps from A into the ring of…

This research aimed to introduce the concept of harmonically m-concave set-valued functions, which is obtained from the combination of two definitions: harmonically m-concave functions and set-valued functions. In this work some properties…

Extending the construction of the (intrinsically defined) full algebra of scalar valued Colombeau functions on a smooth manifold M (Grosser et al., Adv. Math. 166 (2002), 179-206) we present a suitable basic space for eventually obtaining…

Consider a_1,a_2,...,a_n, arbitrary elements of R. We characterize those real functions f that decompose into the sum of a_j-periodic functions, i.e., f=f_1+...+f_n with D_{a_j}f(x):=f(x+a_j)-f(x)=0. We show that f has such a decomposition…

For a set-valued map, we characterize, in terms of its (unconvexified or convexified) graphical derivatives near the point of interest, positively homogeneous maps that are generalized derivatives in the sense of [20]. This result…

DR-submodular functions encompass a broad class of functions which are generally non-convex and non-concave. We study the problem of minimizing any DR-submodular function, with continuous and general integer variables, under box constraints…

Let $\mathcal{C}_{d,n}$ be the convex cone consisting of real $n$-variate degree $d$ forms that are strictly positive on $\mathbb{R}^n\setminus \{\mathbf{0}\}$. We prove that the Lebesgue volume of the sublevel set $\{g\leq 1\}$ of $g\in…

If C and D are varieties of algebras in the sense of general algebra, then by a representable functor C --> D we understand a functor which, when composed with the forgetful functor D --> Set, gives a representable functor in the classical…

There exist two major subclasses in the class of superquadratic functions, one comprises concave and decreasing functions, while the other consists of convex and monotone increasing functions. Leveraging this distinction, we introduce…
