We review some basic results of convex analysis and geometry in $\mathbb{R}^n$ in the context of formulating a differential equation to track the distance between an observer flying outside a convex set $K$ and $K$ itself.
Discrete Fenchel duality is one of the central issues in discrete convex analysis. The Fenchel-type min-max theorem for a pair of integer-valued M-natural-convex functions generalizes the min-max formulas for polymatroid intersection and…
Applications in data science, shape analysis and object classification frequently require comparison of probability distributions defined on different ambient spaces. To accomplish this, one requires a notion of distance on a given class of…
We consider the continuous Fermat-Weber problem, where the customers are continuously (uniformly) distributed along the boundary of a convex polygon. We derive the closed-form expression for finding the average distance from a given point…
In this paper, we establish some weighted fractional inequalities for differentiable mappings whose derivatives in absolute value are convex. These results are connected with the celebrated Hermite-Hadamard-Fejer type integral inequality.…
Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a strictly convex domain with smooth boundary and diameter $D$. The fundamental gap conjecture claims that if $V:\bar\Omega\to\mathbb{R}$ is convex, then the spectral gap of the Schr\"odinger operator…
This paper concerns the robust vector problems \begin{equation*} \mathrm{(RVP)}\ \ {\rm Wmin}\left\{ F(x): x\in C,\; G_u(x)\in -S,\;\forall u\in\mathcal{U}\right\}, \end{equation*} where $X, Y, Z$ are locally convex Hausdorff topological…
The eigenvalue problem for a linear function L centers on solving the eigen-equation Lx = rx. This paper generalizes the eigenvalue problem from a single linear function to an iterated function system F consisting of possibly an infinite…
It is shown that for $f$ analytic and convex in $z\in D=\{z:|z|<1\}$ and given by $f(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_{n}z^{n}$, the difference of coefficients $||a_{3}|-|a_{2}||\le 25/48$ and $||a_{4}|-|a_{3}||\le 25/48$ . Both inequalities are…
In the present paper, we study the shifted hypergeometric function $f(z)=z\Gauss(a,b;c;z)$ for real parameters with $0<a\le b\le c$ and its variant $g(z)=z\Gauss(a,b;c;z^2).$ Our first purpose is to solve the range problems for $f$ and $g$…
We introduce the non-commutative $f$-divergence functional $\Theta(\widetilde{A},\widetilde{B}):=\int_TB_t^{\frac{1}{2}}f\left(B_t^{-\frac{1}{2}} A_tB_t^{-\frac{1}{2}}\right)B_t^{\frac{1}{2}}d\mu(t)$ for an operator convex function $f$,…
We prove that the sublevel set $\big\{z\in\mathbb D\colon k_{\mathbb D}\big(z,z_0\big)-k_{\mathbb D}\big(f(z),w_0\big)<\mu\big\}$, ${\mu\in\mathbb R}$, is geodesically convex with respect to the Poincar\'e distance $k_{\mathbb D}$ in the…
In noncommutative geometry, Connes's spectral distance is an extended metric on the state space of a C*-algebra generalizing Kantorovich's dual formula of the Wasserstein distance of order 1 from optimal transport. It is expressed as a…
Let $E$ be a Banach space and $\X$ be the closed unit ball of the dual space $E^*$. For a compact set $K$ in $E$, we prove that $K$ is polynomially convex in $E$ if and only if there exist a unital commutative Banach algebra $A$ and a…
The paper describes two Borel-measurable functions from a measure space into a locally convex space such that the image measure for each function is Radon but their sum is not Borel-measurable.
Eigenvalues inequalities involving (log) convex/concav functions and Hermitian matrices, positive unital maps are considered. Simple proofs of Bhatia-Kittaneh inequality and Naimark dilation theorem are given.
This paper presents existence and uniqueness results for reflected backward doubly stochastic differential equations (in short RBDDSEs) in a convex domain D. Moreover, using a stochastic flow approach a probabilistic interpretation for a…
We propose an extension of a special form of gradient descent -- in the literature known as linearised Bregman iteration -- to a larger class of non-convex functions. We replace the classical (squared) two norm metric in the gradient…
We study the regularity of the distance function to the boundary of a domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$, with respect to the Minkowski functional of a convex polytope. We obtain the regularity of the distance function in certain cases. We also…
We are interested in the general question: to what extent are the spectral properties of a graph connected to the distance function? Our motivation is a concrete example of this question that is due to Steinerberger. We provide some…
