Scalar rational functions with a non-negative real part on the right half plane, called positive, are classical in the study of electrical networks, dissipative systems, Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation and other areas. We here study…
In this paper, we consider copositive cones over symmetric cones and show that they are never facially exposed when the underlying cone has dimension at least 2. We do so by explicitly exhibiting a non-exposed extreme ray. Our result…
Amenability is a geometric property of convex cones that is stronger than facial exposedness and assists in the study of error bounds for conic feasibility problems. In this paper we establish numerous properties of amenable cones, and…
This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…
We present a geometrical analysis on the completely positive programming reformulation of quadratic optimization problems and its extension to polynomial optimization problems with a class of geometrically defined nonconvex conic programs…
We give an explicit construction of a closed curve with constant torsion and everywhere positive curvature. We also discuss the restrictions on closed curves of constant torsion when they are constrained to lie on convex surfaces.
The purpose of this paper is to show stability of order preserving/reversing transforms on the class of non-negative convex functions in ${\mathbb R}^n$, and its subclass, the class of non-negative convex functions attaining $0$ at the…
We derive a closed-form expression for the projection onto a capped rotated second-order cone -- a convex set that arises in perspective relaxations of nonlinear programs with binary indicator variables. The closed-form solution involves…
We study the closed convex hull of various collections of Hilbert functions. Working over a standard graded polynomial ring with modules that are generated in degree zero, we describe the supporting hyperplanes and extreme rays for the…
In this manuscript the idea of soft convex structures is given and some of their properties are investigated. Also, soft convex sets, soft concave sets and soft convex hull operator are defined and their properties are studied. Moreover,…
We obtain operator concavity (convexity) of some functions of two or three variables by using perspectives of regular operator mappings of one or several variables. As an application, we obtain, for $ 0<p < 1,$ concavity, respectively…
The property of isotonicity of a continuous convex function defined on the entire space or only on the positive cone is characterized via subdifferentials. Numerous examples illustrating the obtained results are included.
We prove the following version of the Kreps-Yan theorem. For any norm closed convex cone $C\subset L^\infty$ such that $C\cap L_+^\infty=\{0\}$ and $C\supset -L_+^\infty$, there exists a strictly positive continuous linear functional, whose…
A closed convex cone K is called nice, if the set K^* + F^\perp is closed for all F faces of K, where K^* is the dual cone of K, and F^\perp is the orthogonal complement of the linear span of F. The niceness property is important for two…
We provide a unified framework for a systematic analysis of the existence of solutions to general nonconvex problems, relying on asymptotic and retractive cones for functions and sets. Using this framework we develop new necessary and…
In this paper, we introduce operator geodesically convex and operator convex-log functions and characterize some properties of them. Then apply these classes of functions to present several operator Azc\'{e}l and Minkowski type inequalities…
We study the boundary structure of closed convex cones, with a focus on facially dual complete (nice) cones. These cones form a proper subset of facially exposed convex cones, and they behave well in the context of duality theory for convex…
In a recent work of Matteo Mio on compact quantitative equational theories (here compact means that all its consequences are derivable by means of finite proofs) convex algebras on the carrier set [0,1] whose operations are monotone and…
Some binary quadratic operads are endowed with anticyclic structures and their characteristic functions as anticyclic operads are determined, or conjectured in one case.
Motivated by the fact that not all nonconvex optimization problems are difficult to solve, we survey in this paper three widely-used ways to reveal the hidden convex structure for different classes of nonconvex optimization problems.…
