We prove that, under appropriate conditions, an abstract game with quasi-Leontief payoff functions $u_i : \prod_{j=1}^nX_j\to\mathbb{R}$ has a Nash equilibria. When all the payoff functions are globally quasi-Leontief, the existence and the…

We present an order-theoretical fixed point theorem for increasing multivalued operators suitable for the method of sub-supersolutions and its application to the following multivalued quasi-variational inclusion: Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb…

In [arXiv 0811.3913] the authors introduced the notion of quasi-polynomial function as being a mapping f: X^n -> X defined and valued on a bounded chain X and which can be factorized as f(x_1,...,x_n)=p(phi(x_1),...,phi(x_n)), where p is a…

We will prove that in a family of quasi-arithmetic means sattisfying certain smoothness assumption (embed with a naural pointwise ordering) every finite family has both supremum and infimum, which is also a quasi-arithmetic mean sattisfying…

A function $F$ defined on all subsets of a finite ground set $E$ is quasi-concave if $F(X\cup Y)\geq\min\{F(X),F(Y)\}$ for all $X,Y\subset E$. Quasi-concave functions arise in many fields of mathematics and computer science such as social…

For a fixed right process $X$ we investigate those functions $u$ for which $u(X)$ is a quasimartingale. We prove that $u(X)$ is a quasimartingale if and only if $u$ is the dif- ference of two finite excessive functions. In particular, we…

This paper is devoted to the study of quasi-periodic properties of fractional order integrals and derivatives of periodic functions. Considering Riemann-Liouville and Caputo definitions, we discuss when the fractional derivative and when…

In this paper we classify the nonnegative global minimizers of the functional \[ J_F(u)=\int_\Omega F(|\nabla u|^2)+\lambda^2\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \] where $F$ satisfies some structural conditions and $\chi_D$ is the characteristic function of a…

Let $U$ be a bounded open subset of the complex plane and let $A_{\alpha}(U)$ denote the set of functions analytic on $U$ that also belong to the little Lipschitz class with Lipschitz exponent $\alpha$. It is shown that if $A_{\alpha}(U)$…

The theory of quasi-arithmetic means is a powerful tool in the study of covariance functions across space-time. In the present study we use quasi-arithmetic functionals to make inferences about the permissibility of averages of functions…

It was proved few years ago that classes of Boolean functions definable by means of functional equations \cite{EFHH}, or equivalently, by means of relational constraints \cite{Pi2}, coincide with initial segments of the quasi-ordered set…

We study boundary values of harmonic functions in spaces of quasianalytic functionals and spaces of ultradistributions of non-quasianalytic type. As an application, we provide a new approach to H\"ormander's support theorem for…

In this note we classify quasi-sum production functions with constant elasticity of production with respect to any factor of production and with proportional marginal rate of substitution.

We show that every family of quasi-arithmetic means generated by (a subset of) $\mathcal{C}^1$ functions with nonvanishing derivative which is bounded (from below or from above) by a quasi-arithmetic mean, possesses the best (lower or…

We consider the problem of providing optimal uncertainty quantification (UQ) --- and hence rigorous certification --- for partially-observed functions. We present a UQ framework within which the observations may be small or large in number,…

Recent results, establishing evidence of intractability for such restrictive utility functions as additively separable, piecewise-linear and concave, under both Fisher and Arrow-Debreu market models, have prompted the question of whether we…

In this paper we study quasiconcavity properties of solutions of Dirichlet problems related to modified nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations of the type $$-{\rm div}\big(a(u) \nabla u\big) + \frac{a'(u)}{2} |\nabla u|^2 = f(u) \quad \hbox{in…

In this paper, we consider a $L^\infty$ functional derivative estimate for the first spatial derivative of bounded classical solutions $u:\mathbb{R}\times [0,T]\to\mathbb{R}$ to the Cauchy problem for scalar semi-linear parabolic partial…

The first part of this article is a brief survey of the properties of so-called almost interior points in ordered Banach spaces. Those vectors can be seen as a generalization of ``functions which are strictly positive almost everywhere'' on…

We prove that continuous reducibility is a well-quasi-order on the class of continuous functions between separable metrizable spaces with analytic zero-dimensional domain. To achieve this, we define scattered functions, which generalize…
