In the study of locally convex quasi *-algebras an important role is played by representable linear functionals; i.e., functionals which allow a GNS-construction. This paper is mainly devoted to the study of the continuity of representable…

A class of distortions termed functional Bregman divergences is defined, which includes squared error and relative entropy. A functional Bregman divergence acts on functions or distributions, and generalizes the standard Bregman divergence…

We consider a common measurement paradigm, where an unknown subset of an affine space is measured by unknown continuous quasi-convex functions. Given the measurement data, can one determine the dimension of this space? In this paper, we…

We study differentiability properties of convex operators defined on a Banach space with values in an $\Lc_p$ space and of their compositions with monotonic convex functionals on this space. We develop new tools for operators enjoying an…

We consider nonparametric regression with functional covariates, that is, they are elements of an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. A locally polynomial estimator is constructed, where an orthonormal basis and various tuning parameters…

For a measure space $\Omega$ we extend the theory of Orlicz spaces generated by an even convex integrand $\varphi \colon \Omega \times X \to \left[ 0, \infty \right]$ to the case when the range Banach space $X$ is arbitrary. Besides…

If a functional in an inverse problem can be estimated with parametric rate, then the minimax rate gives no information about the ill-posedness of the problem. To have a more precise lower bound, we study semiparametric efficiency in the…

In this work we extend the characterization of semimartingale functions in Cinlar et al. (1980) to the non-Markovian setting. We prove that if a function of a semimartingale remains a semimartingale, then under certain conditions the…

This paper studies the strong quasiconvexity of norm and distance functions in finite-dimensional normed spaces. Although the Euclidean norm is known to be strongly quasiconvex on bounded convex sets, a complete characterization of this…

We derive an integral convex combination of product states for a range of separable Werner states. Our method consists of expanding the sought-after local density operators in terms of Wigner operators. For dimension d=2, our decomposition…

In this article, we introduce an extrinsic approach to the notion of semi-direct product, an intrinsic one (namely inside the category Gp of group itself) having been already done elsewhere. This will led us to focus our attention on two…

There exists two types of semi-direct products between a Lie group $G$ and a vector space $V$. The left semi-direct product, $G \ltimes V$, can be constructed when $G$ is equipped with a left action on $V$. Similarly, the right semi-direct…
