We show that the main results of the expected utility and dual utility theories can be derived in a unified way from two fundamental mathematical ideas: the separation principle of convex analysis, and integral representations of continuous…
We establish the characterizations of commutators of several versions of maximal functions on spaces of homogeneous type. In addition, with the aid of interpolation theory, we provide weighted version of the commutator theorems by…
Over the past years a theory of conjugate duality for set-valued functions that map into the set of upper closed subsets of a preordered topological vector space was developed. For scalar duality theory, continuity of convex functions plays…
For a family of weight functions invariant under a finite reflection group, the boundedness of a maximal function on the unit sphere is established and used to prove a multiplier theorem for the orthogonal expansions with respect to the…
In this paper, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between operator monotone functions on the nonnegative reals and finite Borel measures on the unit interval. This correspondence appears as an integral representation of…
The problem is considered as to whether a monotone function defined on a subset P of a Euclidean space can be strictly monotonically extended to the whole space. It is proved that this is the case if and only if the function is {\em…
For many applications, we need to use techniques to represent convex shapes and objects. In this work, we use level set method to represent shapes and find a necessary and sufficient condition on the level set function to guarantee the…
Observations which are realizations from some continuous process are frequent in sciences, engineering, economics, and other fields. We consider linear models, with possible random effects, where the responses are random functions in a…

In these notes, uniform convergence on compacta is studied on the space of functions taking values in the set of finite Borel measures. Related limit theorems, including L\'evy's continuity theorem and functional limit theorems for…
It is shown that given a metric space $X$ and a $\sigma$-finite positive regular Borel measure $\mu$ on $X$, there exists a bounded continuous real-valued function on $X$ that is one-to-one on the complement of a set of $\mu$ measure zero.
Under the formalism of annealed averaging of the partition function, a type of random multifractal measures with their multipliers satisfying exponentially distributed is investigated in detail. Branching emerges in the curve of generalized…
Given a represented space (in the sense of TTE theory), an appropriate representation is constructed for the Moschovakis extension of its carrier (with paying attention to the cases of effective topological spaces and effective metric…
For any pair of bounded observables $A$ and $B$ with pure point spectra, we construct an associated "joint observable" which gives rise to a notion of a joint (projective) measurement of $A$ and $B$, and which conforms to the intuition that…
Submodular Functions are a special class of set functions, which generalize several information-theoretic quantities such as entropy and mutual information [1]. Submodular functions have subgradients and subdifferentials [2] and admit…
Functorial semi-norms are semi-normed refinements of functors such as singular (co)homology. We investigate how different types of representability affect the (non-)triviality of finite functorial semi-norms on certain functors or classes.…
Representation formulas for faces and support functions of the values of maximal monotone operators are established in two cases: either the operators are defined on uniformly Banach spaces with uniformly convex duals, or their domains have…
This note focuses on the problem of representing convex sets as projections of the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, in the particular case of sets generated by bivariate polynomials of degree four. Conditions are given for the convex…
The minimax theory for estimating linear functionals is extended to the case of a finite union of convex parameter spaces. Upper and lower bounds for the minimax risk can still be described in terms of a modulus of continuity. However in…
We consider conditions for the convergence of sequences in terms of positive and alternating Perron expansions ($P$-representation and $P^-$-representation). These conditions are crucial to determine the continuity of functions that are…
