We define the vector-valued, matrix-weighted function spaces $\dot{F}^{\alpha q}_p(W)$ (homogeneous) and $F^{\alpha q}_p(W)$ (inhomogeneous) on $\mathbb{R}^n$, for $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, $0<p<\infty$, $0<q \leq \infty$, with the matrix…

We give a characterization of smooth, rotation and dually epi-translation invariant valuations and use this result to obtain a new proof of the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions. We also give a description of the construction of the…

Using a natural representation of a $1/s$-concave function on $\mathbb{R}^d$ as a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1},$ we derive a simple formula for the integral of its $s$-polar. This leads to convexity properties of the integral of the…

We introduce notions of concavity for functions on balanced polyhedral spaces, and we show that concave functions on such spaces satisfy several strong continuity properties.

The matrix convexity and the matrix monotony of a real $C^1$ function $f$ on $(0,\infty)$ are characterized in terms of the conditional negative or positive definiteness of the Loewner matrices associated with $f$, $tf(t)$, and $t^2f(t)$.…

We analyze matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined on a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus. We obtain for each order conditions for matrix…

A famous result of Lieb establishes that the map $(A,B) \mapsto \text{tr}\left[K^* A^{1-t} K B^t\right]$ is jointly concave in the pair $(A,B)$ of positive definite matrices, where $K$ is a fixed matrix and $t \in [0,1]$. In this paper we…

Bi-log-concavity of probability measures is a univariate extension of the notion of log-concavity that has been recently proposed in a statistical literature. Among other things, it has the nice property from a modelisation perspective to…

Continuous dually epi-translation invariant valuations on convex functions are characterized in terms of the Fourier-Laplace transform of the associated Goodey-Weil distributions. This description is used to obtain integral representations…

We characterize the virtual link invariants that can be described as partition function of a real-valued R-matrix, by being weakly reflection positive. Weak reflection positivity is defined in terms of joining virtual link diagrams, which…

We prove that the invariant part, with respect to a compact group action satisfying certain condition, of the direct image of a Nakano positive Hermitian holomorphic vector bundle over a bounded pseudoconvex domain is Nakano positive. We…

We continue the analysis in [3] of matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined in a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus [5]. We amend and improve some…

A duality of $\kappa$-normed topological vector spaces is defined and investigated. For such spaces the analog of the Mackey-Arens theorem is proved. There are investigated cases, when $\kappa$-normability of a topological vector space…

We introduce a framework to consider transport problems for integer-valued random variables. We introduce weighting coefficients which allow us to characterize transport problems in a gradient flow setting, and form the basis of our…

In this paper, we discuss some problems of elementary plane differential geometry and kinematics. Although the results are not new, the consistent use of complex-valued functions (plane curves) of a real variable (parameter) allows to…

We investigate geometric and functional inequalities for the class of log-concave probability sequences. We prove dilation inequalities for log-concave probability measures on the integers. A functional analogue of this geometric inequality…

In this paper, we study power series with coefficients equal to a product of a generic sequence and an explicitly given function of a positive parameter expressible in terms of the Pochhammer symbols. Four types of such series are treated.…

A functional analog of the Klain-Schneider theorem for vector-valued valuations on convex functions is established, providing a classification of continuous, translation covariant, simple valuations. Under additional rotation equivariance…

We prove implicit function theorems for mappings on topological vector spaces over valued fields. In the real and complex cases, we obtain implicit function theorems for mappings from arbitrary (not necessarily locally convex) topological…

We consider convex trace functions $\Phi_{p,q,s} = Trace[ (A^{q/2}B^p A^{q/2})^s]$ where $A$ and $B$ are positive $n\times n$ matrices and ask when these functions are convex or concave. We also consider operator convexity/concavity of…
