There exist two major subclasses in the class of superquadratic functions, one comprises concave and decreasing functions, while the other consists of convex and monotone increasing functions. Leveraging this distinction, we introduce…
Seminal work by Edmonds and Lovasz shows the strong connection between submodularity and convexity. Submodular functions have tight modular lower bounds, and subdifferentials in a manner akin to convex functions. They also admit poly-time…
In this paper we established a new Simpson type conformable fractional integral equality for convex functions. Based on this identity, some results related to Simpson-like type inequalities are obtained. These results are then applied to…
In this paper, we introduce a new second-order directional derivative and a second-order subdifferential of Hadamard type for an arbitrary nondifferentiable function. We derive several second-order optimality conditions for a local and a…
In this paper, we established some new Hadamard-type integral inequalities for functions whose derivatives of absolute values are m-convex and ({\alpha},m)-convex functions via Riemann-Liouville fractional integrals.
It has been recently discovered that a convex function can be determined by its slopes and its infimum value, provided this latter is finite. The result was extended to nonconvex functions by replacing the infimum value by the set of all…
The existence of a homogeneous decomposition for continuous and epi-translation invariant valuations on super-coercive functions is established. Continuous and epi-translation invariant valuations that are epi-homogeneous of degree $n$ are…
We introduce and study a class of starlike functions associated with the non-convex domain \[ \mathcal{S}^*_{nc} = \left\{ f \in \mathcal{A} : \frac{z f'(z)}{f(z)} \prec \frac{1+z}{\cos{z}} =: \varphi_{nc}(z), \;\; z \in \mathbb{D}…
In this paper we study the right differentiability of a parametric infimum function over a parametric set defined by equality constraints. We present a new theorem with sufficient conditions for the right differentiability with respect to…
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…
Based on the weighted and shifted Gr\"{u}nwald difference (WSGD) operators [24], we further construct the compact finite difference discretizations for the fractional operators. Then the discretization schemes are used to approximate the…
We begin with an improvement to an extension result for subharmonic functions of Blanchet et al. With the aid of this improvement we then give extension results for subharmonic functions, for separately subharmonic functions, for harmonic…
We prove that certain Bellman functions of several variables are the minimal locally concave functions. This generalizes earlier results about Bellman functions of two variables.
In this paper, we establish two minimax theorems for functions $f:X\times I\to {\bf R}$, where $I$ is a real interval, without assuming that $f(x,\cdot)$ is quasi-concave. Also, some related applications are presented.
Two of the authors have defined the class $ WDC(M)$ as the class of all subsets of a smooth manifold $M$ that may be expressed in local coordinates as certain sublevel sets of DC (differences of convex) functions. If $M$ is Riemanian and…
Abstract convexity generalises classical convexity by considering the suprema of functions taken from an arbitrarily defined set of functions. These are called the abstract linear (abstract affine) functions. The purpose of this paper is to…
This paper introduces a new subtraction operation for convex sets, which defines their difference as a collection of inclusion-minimal convex sets with appropriate definitions of linear operations on them. With these operations the set of…
In this paper, we consider a new class of convex functions which is called $h_{\varphi}-$preinvex functions. We prove several Hermite--Hadamard type inequalities for differentiable $h_\varphi$-preinvex functions via Fractional Integrals.…
The first part of the paper provides new characterizations of the normal cone to the effective domain of the supremum of an arbitrary family of convex functions. These results are applied in the second part to give new formulas for the…
The $\epsilon$-subdifferential of convex univariate piecewise linear-quadratic functions can be computed in linear worst-case time complexity as the level-set of a convex function. Using dichotomic search, we show how the computation can be…
