In this paper, we consider the quadratic programming problems under finitely many convex quadratic constraints in Hilbert spaces. By using the Legendre property of quadratic forms or the compactness of operators in the presentations of…

Let $\Delta_m$ be the standard $m$-dimensional simplex of non-negative $m+1$ tuples that sum to unity and let $S$ be a nonempty subset of $\Delta_m$. A real valued function $h$ defined on a convex subset of a real vector space is $S$-almost…

We consider minimization of functions that are compositions of convex or prox-regular functions (possibly extended-valued) with smooth vector functions. A wide variety of important optimization problems fall into this framework. We describe…

We axiomatically define (pre-)Hilbert categories. The axioms resemble those for monoidal Abelian categories with the addition of an involutive functor. We then prove embedding theorems: any locally small pre-Hilbert category whose monoidal…

We prove a Montel theorem for Hilbert space valued functions, and a non-commutative version of this theorem, by composing with unitaries to achieve convergence.

We prove that admissible functions for Fubini-Study metrics on the complex projective space $P_{m}C$, of complex dimension $m$, invariant by a convenient automorphisms group, are lower bounded by a function going to minus infinity on the…

We conjecture that a class of Artinian Gorenstein Hilbert algebras called full Perazzo algebras always have minimal Hilbert function, fixing codimension and length. We prove the conjecture in length four and five, in low codimension. We…

We discuss variants of construction of measurable subgradients for multivariate convex functions and the problem of characterization of the $\Delta_2$-condition in terms of their directional derivatives. Furthermore we study related basic…

The main result (roughly) is that if (H_i) converges weakly to H and if also f(H_i) converges weakly to f(H), for a single strictly convex continuous function f, then (H_i) must converge strongly to H. One application is that if f(pr(H)) =…

We present in a unified setting the foundations for a theory of non-bilinear Dirichlet functionals on Hilbert spaces. We prove known and new equivalences between non-linear semigroups, non-linear resolvents, non-linear generators, and their…

The existence of a homogeneous decomposition for continuous and epi-translation invariant valuations on super-coercive functions is established. Continuous and epi-translation invariant valuations that are epi-homogeneous of degree $n$ are…

We prove some basic properties of quasinearly subharmonic functions and quasinearly subharmonic functions in the narrow sense.

Let $\mathbb{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $E \subset \mathbb{H}$ be an arbitrary subset and $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, \: G: E \rightarrow \mathbb{H}$ be two functions. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the pair $(f,G)$ for the…

We give an elementary proof of Kelley's theorem based on a minimax argument. Some applications to related problems are also developed.

Matrices are typically considered over fields or rings. Motivated by applications in parametric differential equations and data-driven modeling, we suggest to study matrices with entries from a Hilbert space and present an elementary theory…

The problem of finding the minimizer of a sum of convex functions is central to the field of optimization. Thus, it is of interest to understand how that minimizer is related to the properties of the individual functions in the sum. In this…

Submodular Functions are a special class of set functions, which generalize several information-theoretic quantities such as entropy and mutual information [1]. Submodular functions have subgradients and subdifferentials [2] and admit…

In this research article, we formulate and prove multidimensional Widder--Arendt theorem and integrated form of multidimensional Widder--Arendt theorem for functions with values in sequentially complete locally convex spaces. Established…

We study the two dimensional least gradient problem in a convex, but not necessary strictly convex region. We look for solutions in the space of $BV$ functions satisfying the boundary data $f$ in trace sense. We assume that $f$ is in $BV$…

In this note we show that a recent existence result on quasiequilibrium problems, which seems to improve deeply some well-known results, is not correct. We exhibit a counterexample and we furnish a generalization of a lemma about continuous…
