Suppose that $\sA$ is a finitely generated commutative unital real algebra and $K$ is a closed subset of the set $\hat{A}$ of characters of $\sA$. We study the following problem: When is {\it each} linear functional $L:{\sA} \to \dR$ an…
We present a solution to the real multidimensional rational K-moment problem, where K is defined by finitely many polynomial inequalities. More precisely, let S be a finite set of real polynomials in X=(X_1,...,X_n) such that the…
We consider the problem of finding a (non-negative) measure $\mu$ on $\mathfrak{B}(\mathbb{C}^n)$ such that $\int_{\mathbb{C}^n} \mathbf{z}^{\mathbf{k}} d\mu(\mathbf{z}) = s_{\mathbf{k}}$, $\forall \mathbf{k}\in\mathcal{K}$. Here…
We prove general results about separation and weak$^\#$-convergence of boundedly finite measures on separable metric spaces and Souslin spaces. More precisely, we consider an algebra of bounded real-valued, or more generally a $*$-algebra…
Using standard tools of harmonic analysis, we state and solve the problem of moments for non-negative measures supported on the unit ball of a Sobolev space of multivariate periodic trigonometric functions. We describe outer and inner…
In this note we introduce the concept of a semi-bounded unitary representations of an infinite-dimensional Lie group $G$. Semi-boundedness is defined in terms of the corresponding momentum set in the dual $\g'$ of the Lie algebra $\g$ of…
The truncated moment problem consists of determining whether a given finitedimensional vector of real numbers y is obtained by integrating a basis of the vector space of polynomials of bounded degree with respect to a non-negative measure…
Given a basic compact semi-algebraic set $\K\subset\R^n$, we introduce a methodology that generates a sequence converging to the volume of $\K$. This sequence is obtained from optimal values of a hierarchy of either semidefinite or linear…
Let $\mu$ be a positive measure on the real line with locally finite support $\Lambda$ and integer masses such that its Fourier transform in the sense of distributions is a purely point measure. An explicit form is found for an entire…
The multivariate moment problem is investigated in the general context of the polynomial algebra $\mathbb{R}[x_i \mid i \in \Omega]$ in an arbitrary number of variables $x_i$, $i\in \Omega$. The results obtained are sharpest when the index…
The standard moment-sum-of-squares (SOS) hierarchy is a powerful method for solving global polynomial optimization problems. However, its convergence relies on Putinar's Positivstellensatz, which requires the feasible set to satisfy the…
Let $Q$ denote the space of signed measures on the Borel $\sigma$-algebra of a separable complete space $X$. We endow $Q$ with the norm $\|q\|=\sup|\int\phi dq|$, where the supremum is taken over all Lipschitz with constant 1 functions…
We investigate when a linear functional $L$ defined on a linear subspace $B$ of a unital commutative real algebra $A$ admits an integral representation w.r.t. a positive Radon measure supported on a closed subset $K$ of the character space…
We review several (and provide new) results on the theory of moments, sums of squares and basic semi-algebraic sets when convexity is present. In particular, we show that under convexity, the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for…
We establish a generic formula for the generalised q-dimensions of measures supported by almost self-affine sets, for all q>1. These q-dimensions may exhibit phase transitions as q varies. We first consider general measures and then…
This paper considers the problem of minimizing the ordered weighted average (or ordered median) function of finitely many rational functions over compact semi-algebraic sets. Ordered weighted averages of rational functions are not, in…
A new classification of real functions and other related real objects defined within a compact interval is proposed. The scope of the classification includes normal real functions and distributions in the sense of Schwartz, referred to…
We establish the membership criteria in terms of Hadamard product for a normalized analytic function to be in the class of infinitesimal generators. Furthermore, the embedding of various subclasses of normalized univalent functions in the…
Let $\mathsf{A}=\{a_1,\dots,a_m\}$, $m\in\mathbb{N}$, be measurable functions on a measurable space $(\mathcal{X},\mathfrak{A})$. If $\mu$ is a positive measure on $(\mathcal{X},\mathfrak{A})$ such that $\int a_i d\mu<\infty$ for all $i$,…
In an earlier paper, we studied solutions g to convolution equations of the form a_d*g^{*d}+a_{d-1}*g^{*(d-1)}+...+a_1*g+a_0=0, where a_0, ..., a_d are given arithmetic functions associated with Dirichlet series which converge on some right…
