We remark that there is no smooth function $f(x)$ on $[0, 1]$ which is flat at $0$ such that the derivative $f^{(n)}$ of any order $n\geq 0$ is positive on $(0,1]$. Moreover, the number of zeros of the $n$-th derivative $f^{(n)}$ grows to…

We study the properties of the set where a generalized function of bounded variation has infinite approximate limit, highlighting in this way the main geometric difference with functions of bounded variation. To this aim we prove a new…

For a family of continuous functions $f_1,f_2,\dots \colon I \to \mathbb{R}$ ($I$ is a fixed interval) with $f_1\le f_2\le \dots$ define a set $$ I_f:=\big\{x \in I \colon \lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(x)=+\infty\big\}.$$ We study the properties…

It is obtained necessary and sufficient conditions of dependence on $\aleph$ coordinates for functions of several variables, each of which is a product of metrizable factors. The set of discontinuity points of such functions is…

Extended real-valued functions are often used in optimization theory, but in different ways for infimum problems and for supremum problems. We present an approach to extended real-valued functions that works for all types of problems and…

We consider a class of discrete convex functionals which satisfy a (generalized) coarea formula, and study their limit in the continuum.

In a previous study, the first author defines an inverse ambiguous function on a group $G$ to be a bijective function $f : G \to G$ satisfying the functional equation $f^{-1}(x) = f(x^{-1})$ for all $x \in G$. In this paper, we investigate…

We investigate what happens when we try to work with continuing block codes (i.e. left or right continuing factor maps) between shift spaces that may not be shifts of finite type. For example, we demonstrate that continuing block codes on…

High-order derivatives of analytic functions are expressible as Cauchy integrals over circular contours, which can very effectively be approximated, e.g., by trapezoidal sums. Whereas analytically each radius r up to the radius of…

In this work, approximations for real two variables function $f$ which has continuous partial $(n-1)$-derivatives $(n \ge 1)$ and has the $n$--th partial derivative of bounded bivariation or absolutely continuous are established. Explicit…

Let $X$ be a separable real Hilbert space. We show that for every Lipschitz function $f:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, and for every $\epsilon>0$, there exists a Lipschitz, real analytic function $g:X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ such that…

The study of a machine learning problem is in many ways is difficult to separate from the study of the loss function being used. One avenue of inquiry has been to look at these loss functions in terms of their properties as scoring rules…

We classify all functions which, when applied term by term, leave invariant the sequences of moments of positive measures on the real line. Rather unexpectedly, these functions are built of absolutely monotonic components, or reflections of…

A function $f:X\to \mathbb R$ defined on a topological space $X$ is called returning if for any point $x\in X$ there exists a positive real number $M_x$ such that for every path-connected subset $C_x\subset X$ containing the point $x$ and…

Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, there exist rational functions with only one critical point. We give an elementary characterization of these functions in terms of their continued fraction expansions. Then we…

We study one class of continuous functions $f$ defined on segment $[0,1]$ by equality $$ f(x)=\delta_{\alpha_1(x)1}+\sum^{\infty}_{k=2}\left[\delta_{\alpha_k(x)k}\prod^{k-1}_{j=1}g_{\alpha_j…

We study the slicing and fine properties of functions in $\mathrm{BV}^{\mathcal A}$, the space of functions with bounded $\mathcal A$-variation. Here, $\mathcal A$ is a homogeneous linear differential operator with constant coefficients (of…

We study contraction conditions for an iterated function system of continuous maps on a metric space which are chosen randomly, identically and independently. We investigate metric changes, preserving the topological structure of the space,…

In computable analysis, sequences of rational numbers which effectively converge to a real number x are used as the (rho-) names of x. A real number x is computable if it has a computable name, and a real function f is computable if there…

In this article, we further explore convex functions by revealing new bounds, resulting from stronger convexity behavior. In particular, we define the so called radical convex functions and study their properties. We will see that such…
