A discussion of methods of nonisotropic fine quantitative complex analysis on lineally convex domains of finite type is given. The needed support functions with best possible estimates are considered together with the estimation of their…
The projection onto the epigraph or a level set of a closed proper convex function can be achieved by finding a root of a scalar equation that involves the proximal operator as a function of the proximal parameter. This paper develops the…
An application of dimensional reduction results for gradient constrained problems is provided for 3D-2D dimension reduction for supremal functionals, in the case when the domain is convex.
In this paper we consider the following question: For bounded domains with smooth boundary, can strong pseudoconvexity be characterized in terms of the intrinsic complex geometry of the domain? Our approach to answering this question is…
Cardinal functions provide valuable insight into the topological properties of spaces, helping to analyze and compare spaces in terms of their covering, convergence and separation properties. This paper focuses on investigating cardinal…
Let C be convex, compact, with nonempty interior and h be Legendre with domain C, continuous on C. We prove that h is Bregman if and only if it is strictly convex on C and C is a polytope. This provides insights on sequential convergence of…
The aim of this note is to explain a generalization to the real case of a well known result on the automorphism group of an unbounded tube type symmetric domain in a complex vector space of finite dimension.
The objective of this paper is to characterize harmonic Hardy spaces and a boundary behavior of harmonic functions on a smooth domain in real Euclidean space.
Motivated by a result on weak Markov dilations, we define a notion of characteristic function for ergodic and coisometric row contractions with a one-dimensional invariant subspace for the adjoints. This extends a definition given by G.…
We show that positively $1$--homogeneous rank one convex functions are convex at $0$ and at matrices of rank one. The result is a special case of an abstract convexity result that we establish for positively $1$--homogeneous directionally…
We propose a proximal approach to deal with a class of convex variational problems involving nonlinear constraints. A large family of constraints, proven to be effective in the solution of inverse problems, can be expressed as the lower…
In this article we utilise abstract convexity theory in order to unify and generalize many different concepts from nonsmooth analysis. We introduce the concepts of abstract codifferentiability, abstract quasidifferentiability and abstract…
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…
The present article is an exposition of a theory of discrete convex functions on certain graph structures, developed by the author in recent years. This theory is a spin-off of discrete convex analysis by Murota, and is motivated by…
Consider a strictly convex bounded regular domain $C$ of $\R^3$. For any arbitrary finite topological type we find a compact Riemann surface $\mathcal{M}$, an open domain $M\subset \mathcal{M}$ with the fixed topological type, and a…
In this paper the "strong" Maxwell operator defined on fields from the Sobolev space $W_2^1$, and the "weak" Maxwell operator defined on the natural domain are considered. It is shown that in a convex domain, and, more generally, in a…
We discuss the following question: For a function f of two or more variables which is convex in the directions of coordinate axes, how can its trace g(x) = f(x, x, ..., x) look like? In the two-dimensional case, we provide some necessary…
This paper presents and investigates an inexact proximal gradient method for solving composite convex optimization problems characterized by an objective function composed of a sum of a full-domain differentiable convex function and a…
In this article, we study convex affine domains which can cover a compact affine manifold. For this purpose, we first show that every strictly convex quasi-homogeneous projective domain has at least $C^1$ boundary and it is an ellipsoid if…
This work is concerned with the convex analysis of functions defined on (not necessarily finite-dimensional) Hilbert spaces whose values depend solely on a certain ``spectrum'' of the arguments, a class we term ``spectral functions.'' We…
