We begin by describing the unit ball of the free $p$-convex Banach lattice over a Banach space $E$ (denoted by ${\mathrm{FBL}}^{(p)}[E]$) as a closed solid convex hull of an appropriate set. Based on it, we show that, if a Banach space $E$…

Let $X$ be a real separable normed space $X$ admitting a separating polynomial. We prove that each continuous function from a subset $A$ of $X$ to a real Banach space can be uniformly approximated by restrictions to $A$ of functions which…

In this paper we prove a randomized difference norm characterization for Bessel potential spaces with values in UMD Banach spaces. The main ingredients are $\mathcal{R}$-boundedness results for Fourier multiplier operators, which are of…

The proximinality of certain subspaces of spaces of bounded affine functions is proved. The results presented here are some linear versions of an old result due to Mazur. For the proofs we use some sandwich theorems of Fenchel's duality…

A generalization of Lozanovskii's result is proved. Let E be $k$-dimensional subspace of an $n$-dimensional Banach space with unconditional basis. Then there exist $x_1,..,x_k \subset E$ such that $B_E \p \subset \p absconv\{x_1,..,x_k\}$…

Let $\H$ denote the discrete Heisenberg group, equipped with a word metric $d_W$ associated to some finite symmetric generating set. We show that if $(X,\|\cdot\|)$ is a $p$-convex Banach space then for any Lipschitz function $f:\H\to X$…

We consider weighted banach spaces of holomorphic functions on the upper half plane that are determined by $ \|f\|=\sup_{y>0,-\infty<x<\infty}p(y)|f(x+iy)|<\infty $ for a very large class of weight functions p. We completely solve the…

We obtain an optimal deviation from the mean upper bound \begin{equation} D(x)\=\sup_{f\in \F}\mu\{f-\E_{\mu} f\geq x\},\qquad\ \text{for}\ x\in\R\label{abstr} \end{equation} where $\F$ is the class of the integrable, Lipschitz functions on…

It was conjectured that if $f\in C^1(\mathbb{R}^n,\mathbb{R}^n)$ satisfies $\operatorname{rank} Df\leq m<n$ everywhere in $\mathbb{R}^n$, then $f$ can be uniformly approximated by $C^\infty$-mappings $g$ satisfying $\operatorname{rank}…

The goal of this paper is to study geometric and extremal properties of the convex body $B_{\mathcal F(M)}$, which is the unit ball of the Lipschitz-free Banach space associated with a finite metric space $M$. We investigate $\ell_1$ and…

In this paper, we point out a very flexible scheme within which a strict minimax inequality occurs. We then show the fruitfulness of this approach presenting a series of various consequences. Here is one of them: Let $Y$ be a…

We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for a proper lower semicontinuous convex function, defined on a real Banach space, to be locally or globally Lipschitz continuous. Our criteria rely on the existence of a bounded selection…

We introduce a property of Banach spaces called uniform convex-transitivity, which falls between almost transitivity and convex-transitivity. We will provide examples of uniformly convex-transitive spaces. This property behaves nicely in…

Let $M$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and mean convex boundary $\partial M$. Assume that the mean curvature $H$ of the boundary $\partial M$ satisfies $H \geq (n-1) k >0$ for some positive…

It is well known that in the calculus of variations and in optimization there exist many formulations of the fundamental propositions on the attainment of the infima of sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous coercive functions on…

In this paper, we generalize the concept of unbounded norm (un) convergence: let $X$ be a normed lattice and $Y$ a vector lattice such that $X$ is an order dense ideal in $Y$; we say that a net $(y_\alpha)$ un-converges to $y$ in $Y$ with…

A multiple-valued function $f:X\to {\bf Q}_Q(Y)$ is essentially a rule assigning $Q$ unordered and non necessarily distinct elements of $Y$ to each element of $X$. We study the Lipschitz extension problem in this context by using two…

Lower estimates are obtained for the macroscopic scale of affine approximability of vector-valued Lipschitz functions on finite dimensional normed spaces, completing the work of Bates, Johnson, Lindenstrass, Preiss and Schechtman. This…

Let $X$ be a ball quasi-Banach function space on ${\mathbb R}^n$ satisfying some mild assumptions and let $\alpha\in(0,n)$ and $\beta\in(1,\infty)$. In this article, when $\alpha\in(0,1)$, the authors first find a reasonable version…

In this paper we investigate the approximation of continuous functions on the Wasserstein space by smooth functions, with smoothness meant in the sense of Lions differentiability. In particular, in the case of a Lipschitz function we are…
