A new nonparametric estimator of a convex regression function in any dimension is proposed and its convergence properties are studied. We start by using any estimator of the regression function and we \emph{convexify} it by taking the…
A. Ya. Zaslavskii's results on the existence of a linear (affine) selection for a linear (affine) or superlinear (convex) map $\Phi : K \to 2^Y$ defined on a convex cone (convex set) $K$ having the interpolation property are extended. We…
The main purpose is to characterise continuous maps that are $n$-branched coverings in terms of induced maps on the rings of functions. The special properties of Frobenius $n$-homomorphisms between two function spaces that correspond to…
Semilinear maps are a generalization of linear maps between vector spaces where we allow the scalar action to be twisted by a ring homomorphism such as complex conjugation. In particular, this generalization unifies the concepts of linear…
For convex univalent functions we give instances where the sharp bound for various coefficient functionals are identical to those for the corresponding bound for the inverse function. We give instances where the sharp bounds differ and also…
Various problems on integers lead to the class of congruence preserving functions on rings, i.e. functions verifying $a-b$ divides $f(a)-f(b)$ for all $a,b$. We characterized these classes of functions in terms of sums of rational…
Let L be a bounded distributive lattice. We give several characterizations of those L^n --> L mappings that are polynomial functions, i.e., functions which can be obtained from projections and constant functions using binary joins and…
Shapes do not define a linear space. This paper explores the linear structure of deformations as a representation of shapes. This transforms shape optimization to a variant of optimal control. The numerical challenges of this point of view…
Permutation rational functions over finite fields have attracted high interest in recent years. However, only a few of them have been exhibited. This article studies a class of permutation rational functions constructed using trace maps on…
We show that if an open cover of a finite dimensional space is equivariant with respect to some finite group action on the space then there is an equivariant refinement of bounded dimension. This will generalize some constructions of…
The present paper is concerned with Lipschitz properties of convex mappings. One considers the general context of mappings defined on an open convex subset $\Omega$ of a locally convex space $X$ and taking values in a locally convex space…
A $\{0,1\}$-valued function on a two-dimensional rectangular grid is called threshold if its sets of zeros and ones are separable by a straight line. In this paper we study 2-threshold functions, i.e. functions representable as the…
It is well-known that the convex and concave envelope of a multilinear polynomial over a box are polyhedral functions. Exponential-sized extended and projected formulations for these envelopes are also known. We consider the convexification…
We consider the tasks of representing, analyzing and manipulating maps between shapes. We model maps as densities over the product manifold of the input shapes; these densities can be treated as scalar functions and therefore are…
We analyze some properties of a class of multiexponential maps appearing naturally in the geometric analysis of Carnot groups. We will see that such maps can be useful in at least two interesting problems. First, in relation to the analysis…
A class of piecewise affine hyperbolic maps on a bounded subset of the plane is considered. It is shown that if a map from this class is sufficiently area-expanding then almost surely this map has an absolutely continuous invariant measure.
The paper concerns a new method to obtain a direct proof of the openness at linear rate/metric regularity of composite set-valued maps on metric spaces by the unification and refinement of several methods developed somehow separately in…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of nearly convex set-valued mappings and investigate fundamental properties of these mappings. Additionally, we establish a geometric approach for generalized differentiation of nearly convex…
In this paper we consider convex improper affine maps of the 3-dimensional affine space and classify their singularities. The main tool developed is a generating family with properties that closely resembles the area function for non-convex…
Dorff, proved in [2] that the convolution of two harmonic right-half plane mappings is convex in the direction of real axis provided that the convolution is locally univalent and sense preserving. Later, it was shown in [3] that the…
