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…

In this erratum, we recover the results from an earlier paper of the author's which contained a gap. Specifically, we prove that if X is a Banach space with an unconditional basis and admits a C^{p}-smooth, Lipschitz bump function, and Y is…

It is well known that every convex body in a finite dimensional normed space can be uniformly approximated by strictly convex and smooth convex bodies. However, in the case of infinite dimensions, little progress has been made since Klee…

We present here a new method for approximating functions defined on superreflexive Banach spaces by differentiable functions with $\alpha$-H\"older derivatives (for some $0<\alpha\leq 1$). The smooth approximation is given by means of an…

Let $S$ be a convex hypersurface (the boundary of a closed convex set $V$ with nonempty interior) in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that $S$ contains no lines if and only if for every open set $U\supset S$ there exists a real-analytic convex…

We prove two theorems about differentiable functions on the Banach space C(K), where K is compact. (i) If C(K) admits a non-trivial function of class C^m and of bounded support, then all continuous real-valued functions on C(K) may be…

We present a new neural network to approximate convex functions. This network has the particularity to approximate the function with cuts and can be easily adapted to partial convexity. We give an universal approximation theorem in the full…

We prove that if $u:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ is strongly convex, then for every $\varepsilon>0$ there is a strongly convex function $v\in C^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ such that $|\{u\neq v\}|<\varepsilon$ and $\Vert u-v\Vert_\infty<\varepsilon$.

We show that any Lipschitz projection-valued function p on a connected closed Riemannian manifold can be approximated uniformly by smooth projection-valued functions q with Lipschitz constant close to that of p. This answers a question of…

In \cite{5} we proved that generically functions defined in any open set can be approximated by a sequense of their pad\'{e} approximants, in the sense of uniform convergence on compacta. In this paper we examine a more particular space,…
