The main goal of this paper is to present results of existence and non-existence of convex functions on Riemannian manifolds and, in the case of the existence, we associate such functions to the geometry of the manifold. Precisely, we prove…

Let $C$ be a compact convex subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $f:C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a convex function, and $m\in\{1, 2, ..., \infty\}$. Assume that, along with $f$, we are given a family of polynomials satisfying Whitney's extension condition for…

In this paper, one new classes of convex functions which is called MT-convex functions are given. We also establish some Hadamard-type inequalities.

In this work, we study the problem of finding approximate, with minimum support set, solutions to matrix max-plus equations, which we call sparse approximate solutions. We show how one can obtain such solutions efficiently and in polynomial…

We provide comparison principles for convex functions through its proximal mappings. Consequently, we prove that the norm of the proximal operator determines a convex the function up to a constant. A new characterization of Lipschitzianity…

In this paper, we derive new estimates for the remainder term of the midpoint, trapezoid, and Simpson formulae for functions whose derivatives in absolute value at certain power are quasi-convex. Some applications to special means of real…

We give a qualitative description of extremals for Morrey's inequality. Our theory is based on exploiting the invariances of this inequality, studying the equation satisfied by extremals and the observation that extremals are optimal for a…

We present two novel methods for approximating minimizers of the abstract Rayleigh quotient $\Phi(u)/ \|u\|^p$. Here $\Phi$ is a strictly convex functional on a Banach space with norm $\|\cdot\|$, and $\Phi$ is assumed to be positively…

A subequation on an open subset $X\subset \mathbb R^n$ is a subset $F$ of the space of $2$-jets on $X$ with certain properties. A smooth function is said to be $F$-subharmonic if all of its $2$-jets lie in $F$, and using the viscosity…

We investigate several instances of the Hadamard inequality in the mean in two dimensions. As a consequence, we prove the uniqueness of minimizers of an integral functional with a polyconvex integrand, subject to mixed Dirichlet and Neumann…

We present results about minimization of convex functionals defined over a finite set of vectors in a finite dimensional Hilbert space, that extend several known results for the Benedetto-Fickus frame potential. Our approach depends on…

We study the planar least gradient problem with respect to an anisotropic norm $\phi$ for continuous boundary data. We prove existence of minimizers for strictly convex domains $\Omega$. Furthermore, we inspect the issue of uniqueness and…

In this paper we extend some notions, previously defined for log-concave functions, to the larger domain of so-called {\alpha}-concave functions. We begin with a detailed discussion of support functions - first for log-concave functions,…

We show that a real-valued function on a topological vector space is positively homogeneous of degree one and nonexpansive with respect to a weak Minkowski norm if and only if it can be written as a minimax of linear forms that are…

Convex geometry is a closure space $(G,\phi)$ with the anti-exchange property. A classical result of Edelman and Jamison (1985) claims that every finite convex geometry is a join of several linear sub-geometries, and the smallest number of…

In this paper, we establish some new Hadamard type inequalities using elementary well known inequalities for functions whose inequalities absolute values are {\alpha}-, m-, ({\alpha},m)-logarithmically convex.
