The effect that weighted summands have on each other in approximations of $S=w_1S_1+w_2S_2+\cdots+w_NS_N$ is investigated. Here, $S_i$'s are sums of integer-valued random variables, and $w_i$ denote weights, $i=1,\dots,N$. Two cases are…

We investigate elementary properties of successive radii in generalized Minkowski spaces (that is, with respect to gauges), i.e., we measure the "size" of a given convex set in a finite-dimensional real vector space with respect to another…

There are two definitions of the measurable functional on the topological vector space: as a linear and measurable real-valued function and as a pointwise limit of the sequence of the continious linear functionals. In general case they are…

Geometrically convex functions constitute an interesting class of functions obtained by replacing the arithmetic mean with the geometric mean in the definition of convexity. As recently suggested, geometric convexity may be a sensible…

In the paper we prove criteria for convexity and concavity of $f$-potentials ($f$-means, Kolmogorov means, weighted quasi-arithmetic means), which particular cases are the arithmetic, geometric, harmonic means, the thermodynamic potential…

Via a unified geometric approach, a class of generalized trigonometric functions with two parameters are analytically extended to maximal domains on which they are univalent. Some consequences are deduced concerning radius of convergence…

The class of convex sets that admit approximations as Minkowski sum of a compact convex set and a closed convex cone in the Hausdorff distance is introduced. These sets are called approximately Motzkin-decomposable and generalize the notion…

Extended real-valued functions are often used in optimization theory, but in different ways for infimum problems and for supremum problems. We present an approach to extended real-valued functions that works for all types of problems and…

In this article, we prove that convex functions and log-convex functions obey certain general refinements that lead to several refinements and reverses of well known inequalities for matrices, including Young's inequality, Heinz inequality,…

Some mathematical inequalities among various weighted means are studied. Inequalities on weighted logarithmic mean are given. Besides, the gap in Jensen's inequality is studied as a convex function approach. Consequently, some non-trivial…

In this paper, the $q$-th dual curvature measure is extended to convex functions and the associated Minkowski problem is posed. A special case includes the $q$-th dual curvature measure of convex bodies which defined by Huang, Lutwak, Yang…

Convexity and convex functions play an important role in theoretical physics. To initiate a study of the possible uses of convex functions in General Relativity, we discuss the consequences of a spacetime $(M,g_{\mu \nu})$ or an initial…

We define decision-making functions which arise from studying the multidimensional generalization of the weighted Bajraktarevi\'c means. It allows a nonlinear approach to optimization problems. These functions admit several interesting…

In this paper, we obtain some companions of Ostrowski type inequality for absolutely continuous functions whose second derivatives absolute value are convex and concave.Finally, we gave some applications for special means.

We study the following problem: given n real arguments a1, ..., an and n real weights w1, ..., wn, under what conditions does the inequality w1 f(a1) + w2 f(a2) + ... + wn f(an) >= 0 hold for all functions f with nonnegative kth derivative…

If $\Lambda $ is a measure space, $u:\Lambda ^{m}\rightarrow \Bbb{R}$ is a given function and $N\geq m,$ the function $U(x_{1},...,x_{N})=\left( \begin{array}{l} N \\ m \end{array} \right) ^{-1}\sum_{1\leq i_{1}<\cdots <i_{m}\leq…

We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while…

In this paper, the authors establish a new type integral inequalities for differentiable s-convex functions in the second sense. By the well-known H\"older inequality and power mean inequality, they obtain some integral inequalities related…

Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…
