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,…
The classical McShane-Whitney extension theorem for Lipschitz functions is refined by showing that for a closed subset of the domain, it remains valid for any interval of the real line. This result is also extended to the setting of locally…
We provide a new sufficient condition for strong invariance for differential inclusions, under very general conditions on the dynamics, in terms of a Hamiltonian inequality. In lieu of the usual Lipschitzness assumption on the…
A differentiable function is pseudoconvex if and only if its restrictions over straight lines are pseudoconvex. A differentiable function depending on one variable, defined on some closed interval $[a,b]$ is pseudoconvex if and only if…
To minimize or upper-bound the value of a function "robustly", we might instead minimize or upper-bound the "epsilon-robust regularization", defined as the map from a point to the maximum value of the function within an epsilon-radius. This…
The purpose of this survey article is a comprehensive study of operator Lipschitz functions. A continuous function $f$ on the real line ${\Bbb R}$ is called operator Lipschitz if $\|f(A)-f(B)\|\le{\rm const}\|A-B\|$ for arbitrary…
We study the space of bandlimited Lipschitz functions in one variable. In particular we provide a geometrical description of the natural interpolating and sampling sequences for this space. We also find a description of the trace of such…
In this paper we develop general formulas for the subdifferential of the pointwise supremum of convex functions, which cover and unify both the compact continuous and the non-compact non-continuous settings. From the non-continuous to the…
We analyze matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined on a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus. We obtain for each order conditions for matrix…
We prove that intersections and unions of independent random sets in finite spaces achieve a form of Lipschitz continuity. More precisely, given the distribution of a random set $\Xi$, the function mapping any random set distribution to the…
A method of proving local continuity of concave functions on convex set possessing the $\mu$-compactness property is presented. This method is based on a special approximation of these functions. The class of $\mu$-compact sets can be…
We show that capacity can be computed with locally Lipschitz functions in locally complete and separable metric spaces. Further, we show that if $(X,d,\mu)$ is a locally complete and separable metric measure space, then continuous functions…

Submodular functions, defined on continuous or discrete domains, arise in numerous applications. We study the minimization of the difference of two submodular (DS) functions, over both domains, extending prior work restricted to set…
The directional subdifferential of the value function gives an estimate on how much the optimal value changes under a perturbation in a certain direction. In this paper we derive upper estimates for the directional limiting and singular…
We introduce the generalized notion of semicontinuity of a function defined on a topological space and derive the useful classification of the so-called Lipschitz derivatives of functions defined on a metric space. Secondly, we investigate…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition ensuring that any function which is separately Lipschitz on two fixed compact sets is Lipschitz on their union.
Two criteria for the robust quasiconvexity of lower semicontinuous functions are established in terms of Fr\'echet subdifferentials in Asplund spaces.
A necessary and sufficient condition is given for a subshift presentation to have a continuous $g$-function. An invariant necessary and sufficient condition is formulated for a subshift to posses a presentation that has a continuous…
