Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…

WDC sets in ${\mathbb R}^d$ were recently defined as sublevel sets of DC functions (differences of convex functions) at weakly regular values. They form a natural and substantial generalization of sets with positive reach and still admit…

Rademacher theorem asserts that Lipschitz continuous functions between Euclidean spaces are differentiable almost everywhere. In this work we extend this result to set-valued maps using an adequate notion of set-valued differentiability…

In this paper, a finite family of nonsmooth locally Lipschitz continuous functions that are invex with respect to the same function {\eta} are characterized in terms of their scalarized counterparts.

This paper studies properties of a subdifferential defined using a generalized conjugation scheme. We relate this subdifferential together with the domain of an appropriate conjugate function and the {\epsilon}-directional derivative. In…

Recently, Hairer et. al (2012) showed that there exist SDEs with infinitely often differentiable and globally bounded coefficient functions whose solutions fail to be locally Lipschitz continuous in the strong L^p-sense with respect to the…

The aim of this paper is to study in detail the relations between strong chain recurrence for flows and Lyapunov functions. For a continuous flow on a compact metric space, uniformly Lipschitz continuous on the compact subsets of the time,…

We prove the local Lipschitz regularity of the minimizers of functionals of the form \[ \mathcal I(u)=\int_\Omega f(\nabla u(x))+g(x)u(x)\,dx\qquad u\in\phi+W^{1,1}_0(\Omega) \] where $g$ is bounded and $\phi$ satisfies the Lower Bounded…

In this note we show how to adjust some proofs of Koskela et. al 2003 and Jiang 2011 in order to show that in certain spaces $(X,d,\mu)$, like $RCD(K,N)$-spaces, every Sobolev function with local $L^{p}$-Laplacian and $p>\dim\mu$ is locally…

The convergence theory for the gradient sampling algorithm is extended to directionally Lipschitz functions. Although directionally Lipschitz functions are not necessarily locally Lipschitz, they are almost everywhere differentiable and…

We consider a class of non-homogeneous Markov chains, that contains many natural examples. Next, using martingale methods, we establish some deviation and moment inequalities for separately Lipschitz functions of such a chain, under moment…

Subdifferentials (in the sense of convex analysis) of matrix-valued functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are convex with respect to the L\"{o}wner partial order can have a complicated structure and might be very difficult to compute…

In this work, the notions of normal cones at infinity to unbounded sets and limiting and singular subdifferentials at infinity for extended real value functions are introduced. Various calculus rules for these notions objects are…

Consider a Henselian rank one valued field $K$ of equicharacteristic zero with the three-sorted language $\mathcal{L}$ of Denef--Pas. Let $f: A \to K$ be a continuous $\mathcal{L}$-definable (with parameters) function on a closed bounded…

It is known that if a twice differentiable function has a Lipschitz continuous Hessian, then its gradients satisfy a Jensen-type inequality. In particular, this inequality is Hessian-free in the sense that the Hessian does not actually…

We construct examples of Lipschitz continuous functions, with pathological subgradient dynamics both in continuous and discrete time. In both settings, the iterates generate bounded trajectories, and yet fail to detect any (generalized)…

Let (X,d) be a metric space and $ \alpha > 0 $. In this paper, we study extensions of some complex-valued Lipschitz functions, from some special subset $ X_0 $ to X. These extensions are with no-increasing Lipschitz number or the smallest…

A hypodifferential is a compact family of affine mappings that defines a local max-type approximation of a nonsmooth convex function. We present a general theory of hypodifferentials of nonsmooth convex functions defined on a Banach space.…

A function in a class $\mathcal{F}(X)$ is said to be subdifferentially determined in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ if it is equal up to an additive constant to any function in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ with the same subdifferential. A function is said to be…

This paper is devoted to the autonomous Lagrange problem of the calculus of variations with a discontinuous Lagrangian. We prove that every minimizer is Lipschitz continuous if the Lagrangian is coercive and locally bounded. The main…
