In this paper we study the covering numbers of the space of convex and uniformly bounded functions in multi-dimension. We find optimal upper and lower bounds for the $\epsilon$-covering number of $\C([a, b]^d, B)$, in the $L_p$-metric, $1…
A famous result due to Ko and Friedman (1982) asserts that the problems of integration and maximisation of a univariate real function are computationally hard in a well-defined sense. Yet, both functionals are routinely computed at great…
A rational homogeneous (of degree one) positive real matrix-valued function is presented as the Schur complement of a block of the linear pencil with positive semidefinite matrix coefficients. The partial derivative numerators of a rational…
Motivated by recent advances in solution methods for mixed-integer convex optimization (MICP), we study the fundamental and open question of which sets can be represented exactly as feasible regions of MICP problems. We establish several…
We provide a pointwise bipolar theorem for liminf-closed convex sets of positive Borel measurable functions on a sigma-compact metric space without the assumption that the polar is a tight set of measures. As applications we derive a…
In this work we investigate and characterize linear functionals $L:\mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n]\to\mathbb{R}$ with absolutely continuous representing measures $\mu$, i.e., $\mathrm{d}\mu(x) = g(x)\,\mathrm{d} x$ for some density $g$. We focus…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the logarithmic mean of two convex functionals that extends the logarithmic mean of two positive operators. Some inequalities involving this functional mean are discussed as well. The operator…
By using the space of fuzzy numbers, in e.g. [5] have been considered several complete metric spaces (called here {\bf FN}-type spaces) endowed with addition and scalar multiplication, such that the metrics have nice properties but the…
In the present paper a new concept of representability is introduced, which can be applied to not total and also to intransitive relations (semiorders in particular). This idea tries to represent the orderings in the simplest manner,…
Given a monotone convex function on the space of essentially bounded random variables with the Lebesgue property (order continuity), we consider its extension preserving the Lebesgue property to as big solid vector space of random variables…
Every measurable function f on the circle can be represented as a sum of harmonics with positive spectrum, converging in measure. For convergence almost everywhere this is not true. We discuss several other subsets of Z for which one might…
Measuring comodules are defined and shown to provide a useful generalization of the set of maps between modules with a broad range of applications. Three applications are described. Connections on bundles are described in terms of measuring…
How can one lift a functional defined on maps from a space X to a space Y into a functional defined on maps from X into P(Y) the space of probability distributions over Y? Looking at measure-valued maps can be interpreted as knowing a…
In decision-making, maxitive functions are used for worst-case and best-case evaluations. Maxitivity gives rise to a rich structure that is well-studied in the context of the pointwise order. In this article, we investigate maxitivity with…
In the article the necessary and sufficient conditions for a representation of Lipschitz function of two variables as a difference of two convex functions are formulated. An algorithm of this representation is given. The outcome of this…
We construct a pathwise calculus for functionals of integer-valued measures and use it to derive an martingale representation formula with respect to a large class of integer-valued random measures. Using these results, we extend the…
For every positive integer h, the representation function of order h associated to a subset A of the integers or, more generally, of any group or semigroup X, counts the number of ways an element of X can be written as the sum (or product,…
Results on the upper and lower semicontinuity of functionals defined on spaces of convex and more general functions are established. In particular, the following result is obtained. Let $\phi(v; \cdot)$ be the density of the absolutely…
Let $\precsim$ be a reflexive binary relation on a topological space $(X, \tau )$. A pair $(u,v)$ of continuous real-valued functions on $(X, \tau )$ is said to be a {\em continuous representation} of $\precsim$ if, for all $x,y \in X$,…
Convex sets appear in various mathematical theories, and are used to define notions such as convex functions and hulls. As an abstraction from the usual definition of convex sets in vector spaces, we formalize in Coq an intrinsic…
