In this paper we introduce two conceptual algorithms for minimising abstract convex functions. Both algorithms rely on solving a proximal-type subproblem with an abstract Bregman distance based proximal term. We prove their convergence when…

Here we examine some connections between the notions of generalized arithmetic means, geodesics, Lagrange-Hamilton dynamics and Bregman divergences. In a previous paper we developed a predictive interpretation of generalized arithmetic…

In earlier papers we have developed an algebraic theory of discrete tomography. In those papers the structure of the functions $f: A \to \{0,1\}$ and $f: A \to \mathbb{Z}$ having given line sums in certain directions have been analyzed.…

For the family of analytic functions $f(z)$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ with $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$, satisfying the differential equation \begin{equation*} zf'(z) - f(z) = \dfrac{1}{2} z^2 \phi(z), \quad |\phi(z)| \leq 1, \end{equation*}…

We establish for $2 \le k \le n-1$ the strict concavity of the function $f_k(\lambda)=\log(\sigma_k(\lambda))$ on a subset of the positive cone $\Gamma_n=\{\lambda=(\lambda_{1}, \lambda_{2}, \cdots,\lambda_{n})\in \mathbb{R}^n;…

The unit distance graph $G_{\mathbb{R}^d}^1$ is the infinite graph whose nodes are points in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with an edge between two points if the Euclidean distance between these points is 1. The 2-dimensional version $G_{\mathbb{R}^2}^1$…

This study is on Cauchy's function $f(z)$ and its integral, $J[f(z)]\equiv (2\pi i)^{-1}\oint_C f(t)dt/(t-z)$ taken along a closed simple contour $C$, in regard to their comprehensive properties over the entire $z=x+iy$ plane consisted of…

The boundary behavior of the Bergman metric near a convex boundary point $z_0$ of a pseudoconvex domain $D\subset\CC^n$ is studied; it turns out that the Bergman metric at points $z\in D$ in direction of a fixed vector $X_0\in\CC^n$ tends…

The spectral envelope S(F) of a subset of integers is the set of probability measures on the circle group that are weak star limits of squared moduli of trigonometric polynomials with frequencies in F. Fourier transforms of these measures…

We show that for any free probability measure-preserving action of $\mathbb{C}^{d}$ on a standard probability space, there exists a Borel entire function $F$ such that the factor map $x \mapsto F_{x}$, where $F_{x}(z) = F(z \cdot x)$, is…

A non-negative function f, defined on the real line or on a half-line, is said to be directly Riemann integrable (d.R.i.) if the upper and lower Riemann sums of f over the whole (unbounded) domain converge to the same finite limit, as the…

In this paper, we consider self-adjoint difference equations of the form -\Delta(a_{n-1}\Delta y_{n-1})+b_{n}y_{n}=\lambda y_{n},n=0,1,...\label{eq:abstract} where $a_{n-1}>0$ for all $n\ge0$ and $b_{n}$ are real and $\lambda$ is complex.…

Let $\cal{P}$ be an affine invariant property of functions $\mathbb{F}_p^n \to [R]$ for fixed $p$ and $R$. We show that if $\cal{P}$ is locally testable with a constant number of queries, then one can estimate the distance of a function $f$…

The set B of geodesic rays avoiding a suitable obstacle in a complete negatively curved Riemannian manifold determines a spectrum S. While various properties of this spectrum are known, we define and study dimension functions on S in terms…

Integrally convex functions constitute a fundamental function class in discrete convex analysis. This paper shows that an integer-valued integrally convex function admits an integral subgradient and that the integral biconjugate of an…

Given an unbounded strongly pseudoconvex domain D and a continuous real valued function h defined on bD, we study the existence of a (maximal) plurisubharmonic function u on D such that u=h on bD.
