The purpose of this paper is finding the essential attributes underlying the convexity theorems for momentum maps. It is shown that they are of topological nature; more specifically, we show that convexity follows if the map is open onto…

We prove that if a triplet of functions satisfies almost equality in the Pr\'ekopa-Leindler inequality, then these functions are close to a common log-concave function, up to multiplication and rescaling. Our result holds for general…

A concentration property of the functional ${-}\log f(X)$ is demonstrated, when a random vector X has a log-concave density f on $\mathbb{R}^n$. This concentration property implies in particular an extension of the Shannon-McMillan-Breiman…

Given a polynomial $x \in {\mathbb R}^n \mapsto p(x)$ in $n=2$ variables, a symbolic-numerical algorithm is first described for detecting whether the connected component of the plane sublevel set ${\mathcal P} = \{x : p(x) \geq 0\}$…

We prove that the inverse of a positive-definite matrix can be approximated by a weighted-sum of a small number of matrix exponentials. Combining this with a previous result [OSV12], we establish an equivalence between matrix inversion and…

Regularization plays a key role in a variety of optimization formulations of inverse problems. A recurring theme in regularization approaches is the selection of regularization parameters, and their effect on the solution and on the optimal…

In this work, we aim to study a strong version of Ito's lemma for convex function. By considering the corresponding sub-martingale on a Brownian motion, we gain more insights about the convex function through a probabilistic viewpoint. The…

We prove a Logvinenko-Sereda Theorem for vector valued functions. That is, for an arbitrary Banach space $X$, all $p \in [1,\infty]$, all $\lambda \in (0,\infty)^d$, all $f \in L^p (\mathbb{R}^d ; X)$ with $\operatorname{supp} \mathcal{F} f…

For an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$, the logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ are defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…

This paper's origins are in two papers: One by Colesanti and Fragal\`a studying the surface area measure of a log-concave function, and one by Cordero-Erausquin and Klartag regarding the moment measure of a convex function. These notions…

Affine invariant points and maps for sets were introduced by Gr\"unbaum to study the symmetry structure of convex sets. We extend these notions to a functional setting. The role of symmetry of the set is now taken by evenness of the…
