We investigate the relationship between mapping cones and matrix ordered *-vector spaces (i.e., abstract operator systems). We show that to every mapping cone there is an associated operator system on the space of n-by-n complex matrices,…
Let $V$ be a finite nonempty set. A transit function is a map $R:V\times V\rightarrow 2^V$ such that $R(u,u)=\{u\}$, $R(u,v)=R(v,u)$ and $u\in R(u,v)$ hold for every $u,v\in V$. A set $K\subseteq V$ is $R$-convex if $R(u,v)\subset K$ for…
Consider a convex function that is invariant under an group of transformations. If it has a minimizer, does it also have an invariant minimizer? Variants of this problem appear in nonparametric statistics and in a number of adjacent fields.…
In this paper we provide the resolvent computation of the parallel composition of a maximally monotone operator by a linear operator under mild assumptions. Connections with a modification of the warped resolvent are provided. In the…
In the setting of step two Carnot groups, we show a "cone property" for horizontally convex sets. Namely we prove that, given a horizontally convex set $C$, a pair of points $P\in \partial C$ and $Q\in $ int $C$, both belonging to a…
We extend Araki's well-known results on the equivalence of the KMS condition and the variational principle for equilibrium states of quantum lattice systems with short-range interactions, to a large class of models possibly containing…
In this note we provide a full conjugacy and subdifferential calculus for convex convex-composite functions in finite-dimensional space. Our approach, based on infimal convolution and cone-convexity, is straightforward and yields the…
The paper is devoted to establishing relationships between global and local monotonicity, as well as their maximality versions, for single-valued and set-valued mappings between finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional spaces. We first…
We establish some new common fixed point theorems of single-valued and multivalued mappings operating between complete ordered locally convex spaces under weaker assumptions. As an application, we prove a new minimax theorem of existence of…
It is shown that a surjective monotone map $X\to Y$ between finite $T_0$-spaces induces a surjective map on homology. As such a map turns out to be a sequence of edge contractions in the Hasse diagram of $X$, followed by a homeomorphism,…
We prove that every element of the polar cone to the closed convex cone of monotone transport maps can be represented as the divergence of a measure field taking values in the positive definite matrices.
In this paper, combining the covolume, we study the Minkowski theory for the non-compact convex set with an asymptotic boundary condition. In particular, the mixed covolume of two non-compact convex sets is introduced and its geometric…
Because of Minty's classical correspondence between firmly nonexpansive mappings and maximally monotone operators, the notion of a firmly nonexpansive mapping has proven to be of basic importance in fixed point theory, monotone operator…
The commutation relation $KL = LK$ between finite convolution integral operator $K$ and differential operator $L$ has implications for spectral properties of $K$. We characterize all operators $K$ admitting this commutation relation. Our…
The state space of an operator system of $n$-by-$n$ matrices has, in a sense, many normal cones. Merely this convex geometrical property implies smoothness qualities and a clustering property of exposed faces. The latter holds since each…
The quasi-variational inequalities play a significant role in analyzing a wide range of real-world problems. However, these problems are more complicated to solve than variational inequalities as the constraint set is based on the current…
We introduce complex intersection bodies and show that their properties and applications are similar to those of their real counterparts. In particular, we generalize Busemann's theorem to the complex case by proving that complex…
In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for generalized vector quasi-equilibrium problems. Firstly, we prove that in the case of Banach spaces, the assumptions of continuity over correspondences can be weakened. The theoretical…
The new notion of operator/matrix $k$-tone functions is introduced, which is a higher order extension of operator/matrix monotone and convex functions. Differential properties of matrix $k$-tone functions are shown. Characterizations,…
Quantum f-divergences are a quantum generalization of the classical notion of f-divergences, and are a special case of Petz' quasi-entropies. Many well known distinguishability measures of quantum states are given by, or derived from,…
