We investigate the differentiability properties of real-valued quasiconvex functions f defined on a separable Banach space X. Continuity is only assumed to hold at the points of a dense subset. If so, this subset is automatically residual.…

This paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for a real-valued function defined on an open and convex subset of a Banach space to be quasi-concave, and a sufficient condition for such a function to be strictly quasi-concave.…

In this paper we explore some basic properties of quasi-Banach function spaces which are important in applications. Namely, we show that they posses a generalised version of Riesz--Fischer property, that embeddings between them are always…

A fundamental open question asking whether all real-valued strongly quasiconvex functions defined on $\mathbb R^n$ are necessarily continuous, akin to their convex counterparts, is answered in detail in this paper. Among other things, we…

In classical analysis, the relationship between continuity and Riemann integrability is an intimate one: a continuous function on a closed and bounded interval is always Riemann integrable whereas a Riemann integrable function is continuous…

We prove that if f : R^N --> R is quasiconvex and U is open in the density topology of R^N, then sup_U f = ess sup_U f, while inf_U f = ess inf_U f if and only if the equality holds when U = R^N. The first (second) property is typical of…

We study the class of compact convex subsets of a topological vector space which admits a strictly convex and lower semicontinuous function. We prove that such a compact set is embeddable in a strictly convex dual Banach space endowed with…

We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for a proper lower semicontinuous convex function, defined on a real Banach space, to be locally or globally Lipschitz continuous. Our criteria rely on the existence of a bounded selection…

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…

Let $E$ be an arbitrary subset of a Banach space $X$, $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function, and $G:E \rightrightarrows X^*$ be a set-valued mapping. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on $f, G$ for the existence of a…

Let $Y$ be a subspace of a topological vector space $X$, and $A\subset X$ an open convex set that intersects $Y$. We say that the property $(QE)$ [property $(CE)$] holds if every continuous quasiconvex [continuous convex] function on $A\cap…

We introduce a notion of quasiconvexity for continuous functions $f$ defined on the vector bundle of linear maps between the tangent spaces of a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and $\mathbb{R}^m$, naturally generalizing the classical…

We give an example of a convex, finite and lower semicontinuous function whose subdifferential is everywhere empty. This is possible since the function is defined on an incomplete normed space. The function serves as a universal…

Let $E$ be a real vector space with dual space $E^*$ and let $C\subset E$ be a convex subset with more than one point. Let $f : C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function satisfying a mild stability property at 'flat' points of the (relative) boundary…

Two criteria for the robust quasiconvexity of lower semicontinuous functions are established in terms of Fr\'echet subdifferentials in Asplund spaces.

We study properties of continuous semi-homogeneous operators of degree $k$ via various functions (e.g. measures of noncompactness) on all bounded subsets of a Banach space. We prove necessary and sufficient conditions for these functions to…

A real function $f$ is ward continuous if $f$ preserves quasi-Cauchyness, i.e. $(f(x_{n}))$ is a quasi-Cauchy sequence whenever $(x_{n})$ is quasi-Cauchy; and a subset $E$ of $\textbf{R}$ is quasi-Cauchy compact if any sequence…

We prove an extension theorem (with non-tangential limits) for vector-valued Baire one functions. Moreover, at every point where the function is continuous (or bounded), the continuity (or boundedness) is preserved. More precisely: Let $H$…

A function $f:X\to Y$ between topological spaces is called {\em compact-preserving} if the image $f(K)$ of each compact subset $K\subset X$ is compact. We prove that a function $f:X\to Y$ defined on a strong Frechet space $X$ is…

In this paper, we discuss the stability of (restricted) Chebyshev centers in few function spaces. For an extremally disconnected compact Hausdorff space $K$ and a finite dimensional Banach space $X$, we prove the existence of Chebyshev…
