The (delta-) normal cone to an arbitrary intersection of sublevel sets of proper, lower semicontinuous, and convex functions is characterized, using either epsilon-subdifferentials at the nominal point or exact subdifferentials at nearby…

We study Neumann functions for divergence form, second order elliptic systems with bounded measurable coefficients in a bounded Lipschitz domain or a Lipschitz graph domain. We establish existence, uniqueness, and various estimates for the…

A bound for functional $\Delta(F)=\sup_{x\in\mathbb R}|F(x)-\Phi(x)|$ is obtained, which is uniform for all distribution functions $F$ of random variables with zero mean-value and unity variance. Moreover, a two-point distribution is found,…

For an $(n\ge 2)$-dimensional real Banach space $E$ with unit ball $E_{\le 1}$ and a topological space $X$ arbitrary elements in $C(X,E_{\le 1})$ are always expressible as linear combinations of at most three functions valued in the unit…

It is well known in convex analysis that proximal mappings on Hilbert spaces are $1$-Lipschitz. In the present paper we show that proximal mappings on uniformly convex Banach spaces are uniformly continuous on bounded sets. Moreover, we…

We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…

We consider the averages of a function $ f$ on $ \mathbb R ^{n}$ over spheres of radius $ 0< r< \infty $ given by $ A_{r} f (x) = \int_{\mathbb S ^{n-1}} f (x-r y) \; d \sigma (y)$, where $ \sigma $ is the normalized rotation invariant…

This paper deals with functions that defined in metric spaces and valued in complete paranormed vector spaces or valued in Banach spaces, and obtains some necessary and sufficient conditions for weak convergence of finite measures.

Lipschitz constants for the width and diameter functions of a convex body in $\mathbb R^n$ are found in terms of its diameter and thickness (maximum and minimum of both functions). Also, a dual approach to thickness is proposed.

Let $E$ be an arbitrary subset of a Banach space $X$, $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function, and $G:E \rightrightarrows X^*$ be a set-valued mapping. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on $f, G$ for the existence of a…

The paper is devoted to a detailed analysis of nonlocal error bounds for nonconvex piecewise affine functions. We both improve some existing results on error bounds for such functions and present completely new necessary and/or sufficient…

With any convex function F on a finite-dimensional linear space X such that F goes to infinity at infinity, we associate a Borel measure on the dual space X*. This measure is obtained by pushing forward the measure exp(-F(x))dx under the…

For functions of independent random variables, various upper and lower variance bounds are revisited in diverse settings. These are then specialized to the Bernoulli, Gaussian, infinitely divisible cases and to Banach space valued random…

Consider the differential equation $y'=F(x,y)$. We determine the weakest possible upper bound on $|F(x,y)-F(x,z)|$ which guarantees that this equation has for all initial values a unique solution, which exists globally.

Let $X$ be a normed space of a finite dimension at least two, and $C\subsetneq X$ a closed convex set with nonempty interior. We are interested in extending Lipschitz quasiconvex functions on $C$ to quasiconvex functions on $X$. We show…

Motivated by the Maximum Theorem for convex functions (in the setting of linear spaces) and for subadditive functions (in the setting of Abelian semigroups), we establish a Maximum Theorem for the class of generalized convex functions,…

We show that domains, that allow for convex functions with unbounded gradient at their boundary, are convex.

We construct a Lipschitz truncation which approximates functions of bounded variation in the area-strict metric. The Lipschitz truncation changes the original function only on a small set similar to Lusin's theorem. Previous results could…

In this article, we further explore convex functions by revealing new bounds, resulting from stronger convexity behavior. In particular, we define the so called radical convex functions and study their properties. We will see that such…

This work concerns the study of the subdifferential of the integral functional $$ E_f(x)=\int_{T} f(t,x)d\mu(t), $$ where $f$ is a (not necessarily convex) normal integrand, $({T},\mathcal{A},\mu)$ is a $\sigma$-finite measure space, while…
