In the literature, the Minkowski-sum and the metric-sum of compact sets are highlighted. While the first is associative, the latter is not. But the major drawback of the Minkowski combination is that, by increasing the number of summands,…
A class of real functions, which is the generalization of a family of convex functions, is introduced; in this connection, we have defined $X$-convex, strictly $X$-convex, quasi-$X$-convex, strictly quasi-$X$-convex, and semi-strictly…
The g-convexity of functions on manifolds is a generalization of the convexity of functions on Rn. It plays an essential role in both differential geometry and non-convex optimization theory. This paper is concerned with g-convex smooth…
With any convex function F on a finite-dimensional linear space X such that F goes to infinity at infinity, we associate a Borel measure on the dual space X*. This measure is obtained by pushing forward the measure exp(-F(x))dx under the…
The generalized divided differences are introduced. They are applied to investigate some properties characterizing generalized higher-order convexity. Among others some support-type property is proved.
A weight function which $q$-generalizes the ground state wave function of the multi-component Calogero-Sutherland quantum many body system is introduced. Conjectures, and some proofs in special cases, are given for a constant term identity…
The purpose of this article has two fold. The first is to generalize some recent second main theorems for the mappings and moving hyperplanes of $\P^n(\C)$ to the case where the counting functions are truncated multiplicity (by level $n$)…
In this paper, we first obtain a generalized integral identity for twice local differentiable functions. Then, using functions whose second derivatives in absolute value at certain powers are generalized s convex in the second sense, we…
We investigate regularity properties of generalized conjugate functions induced by a general coupling function and the associated generalized proximal mapping. Our main results provide verifiable conditions ensuring local single-valuedness,…
In "Weighted Brunn-Minkowski Theory I", the prequel to this work, we discussed how recent developments on concavity of measures have laid the foundations of a nascent weighted Brunn-Minkowski theory. In particular, we defined the mixed…
We show how a metric space induces a linear functional (a "mean") on real-valued functions with domains in that metric space. This immediately induces a "relative" measure on a collection of subsets of the underlying set.
It is well-known that every convex function admits an affine support at every interior point of a domain. Convex functions of higher order (precisely of an odd order) have a similar property: they are supported by the polynomials of degree…
The objective of this paper is to present two types of results on Minkowski sums of convex polytopes. The first is about a special class of polytopes we call perfectly centered and the combinatorial properties of the Minkowski sum with…
We show that many important convex matrix functions can be represented as the partial infimal projection of the generalized matrix fractional (GMF) and a relatively simple convex function. This representation provides conditions under which…
An alternative characterization of Minkowski--Lyapunov functions is derived. The derived characterization enables a computationally efficient utilization of Minkowski--Lyapunov functions in arbitrary finite dimensions. Due to intrinsic…
Variational convexity, together with ist strong counterpart, of extended-real-valued functions has been recently introduced by Rockafellar. In this paper we present second-order characterizations of these properties, i.e., conditions using…
The classes of n-Wright-convex functions and n-Jensen-convex functions are compared with each other. It is shown that for any odd natural number $n$ the first one is the proper subclass of the second one. To reach this aim new tools…
A classification of SL$(n)$ contravariant Minkowski valuations on convex functions and a characterization of the projection body operator are established. The associated LYZ measure is characterized. In addition, a new SL$(n)$ covariant…
We apply recent knowledge and techniques of the new generalized upper and lower Legendre conjugates to the theory of weight functions in the sense of Braun-Meise-Taylor and study in detail the effects on the corresponding associated weight…
Weighted mean value identities over balls are considered for harmonic functions and their derivatives. Logarithmic and other weights are involved in these identities for functions. Some applications of weighted identities are presented.…
