The classical concept of Fenchel conjugation is tailored to extended real-valued functions defined on linear spaces. In this paper we generalize this concept to functions defined on arbitrary sets that do not necessarily bear any structure…

We study the question of the existence of a dual extremal function for a bounded matrix function on the unit circle in connection with the problem of approximation by analytic matrix functions. We characterize the class of matrix functions,…

In this paper we present a nonparametric method for extending functional regression methodology to the situation where more than one functional covariate is used to predict a functional response. Borrowing the idea from Kadri et al.…

We study several structure aspects of functor categories from a small additive category to a module category, in particular the category F(A,K) of functors from finitely generated free modules over a commutative ring A to vector spaces over…

We develop the basic constructions of homological algebra in the (appropriately defined) unbounded derived categories of modules over algebras over coalgebras over noncommutative rings (which we call semialgebras over corings). We define…

Let $(A,\mathfrak{m})$ be a Henselian Cohen-Macaulay local ring and let CM(A) be the category of maximal Cohen-Macaulay $A$-modules. We construct $T \colon CM(A)\times CM(A) \rightarrow mod(A)$, a subfunctor of $Ext^1_A(-, -)$ and use it to…

We derive two types of representation results for increasing convex functionals in terms of countably additive measures. The first is a max-representation of functionals defined on spaces of real-valued continuous functions and the second a…

We discuss extensions of an inner product from a vector space to its full antidual. None of these extensions is weakly continuous, but partial extensions recapture some familiar structure including the Hilbert space completion and the…

We study rank functions on a triangulated category $\mathcal{C}$ via its abelianisation $\operatorname{mod}\mathcal{C}$. We prove that every rank function on $\mathcal{C}$ can be interpreted as an additive function on…

The paper studies complementary choice functions, i.e. monotonic and consistent choice functions. Such choice functions were introduced and used in the work \cite{RY} for investigation of matchings with complementary contracts. Three…

We investigate the existence of approximation algorithms for maximization of submodular functions, that run in fixed parameter tractable (FPT) time. Given a non-decreasing submodular set function $v: 2^X \to \mathbb{R}$ the goal is to…

To any solution of a linear system of differential equations, we associate a kernel, correlators satisfying a set of loop equations, and in presence of isomonodromic parameters, a Tau function. We then study their semiclassical expansion…

Let $X$ be a rearrangement-invariant space over a non-atomic $\sigma$-finite measure space $(\mathscr{R},\mu)$ and let $\alpha\in(0,\infty)$. We define the functional \begin{equation*} \|f\|_{X^{\langle \alpha \rangle}} =…

Let X = S \oplus G, where S is a countable abelian semigroup and G is a countably infinite abelian group such that {2g : g in G} is infinite. Let pi: X \to G be the projection map defined by pi(s,g) = g for all x =(s,g) in X. Let f:X \to…

We modify the well-known tensor product of modules over a semiring, in order to treat modules over hyperrings, and, more generally, for bimodules (and bimagmas) over monoids. The tensor product of residue hypermodules is functorial. Special…

We study Saks spaces of functions with values in a normed space and the associated mixed topologies. We are interested in properties of such Saks spaces and mixed topologies which are relevant for applications in the theory of bi-continuous…

We consider integral kernels for functions $f(\hat F)$ of a minimal second-order differential operator $\hat F(\nabla)$ on a curved spacetime. We show that they can be expanded in a functional series, analogous to the DeWitt expansion for…

We consider subsemimodules and convex subsets of semimodules over semirings with an idempotent addition. We introduce a nonlinear projection on subsemimodules: the projection of a point is the maximal approximation from below of the point…

The function f:X -> Y is called k-monotonically increasing if there is a partition X = X_1 U ... U X_k such that f|X_i : X_i -> Y is monotonically increasing for i=1,...,k. It is proved that a one-to-one function f:N -> N is k-monotonically…

We consider a semi-algebraic function defined on a closed semi-algebraic set X. We give formulas relating the topology of X to the indices of the critical points of the function and to the topological behavior of the function at infinity.…
