For an upper semi-continuous set-valued mapping from one topological space to another and for a lower semi-continuous function defined on the product of these spaces, Berge's theorem states lower semi-continuity of the minimum of this…
First, we obtain a new formula for Bremermann type upper envelopes, that arise frequently in convex analysis and pluripotential theory, in terms of the Legendre transform of the convex- or plurisubharmonic-envelope of the boundary data.…
The aim of the paper is to investigate the structure of plurifinely open sets. As an application, we will prove an equality on complex Monge-Amp\`ere measures in plurifinely open sets.
We prove exponential estimates for plurisubharmonic functions with respect to Monge-Ampere measures with Holder continuous potential. As an application, we obtain several stochastic properties for the equilibrium measures associated to…
The main objective of this paper is to prove a new inequality for plurisubharmonic functions estimating their supremum over a ball by their supremum over a measurable subset of the ball. We apply this result to study local properties of…
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 show that a continuous function on the analytification of a smooth proper algebraic curve over a non-archimedean field is subharmonic in the sense of Thuillier if and only if it is psh, i.e. subharmonic in the sense of Chambert-Loir and…
We study self-similar measures in $\mathbb{R}$ satisfying the weak separation condition along with weak technical assumptions which are satisfied in all known examples. For such a measure $\mu$, we show that there is a finite set of concave…
Let $\mu$ be a non-negative measure defined on bounded $\mathcal F$-hyperconvex domain $\Omega$. We are interested in giving sufficient conditions on $\mu$ such that we can find a plurifinely plurisubharmonic function satisfying $NP (dd^c…
We consider the problem of minimizing a continuous function f over a compact set K. We analyze a hierarchy of upper bounds proposed by Lasserre in [SIAM J. Optim. 21(3) (2011), pp. 864--885], obtained by searching for an optimal probability…
A C^2 function on C^n is called (n-1)-plurisubharmonic in the sense of Harvey-Lawson if the sum of any n-1 eigenvalues of its complex Hessian is nonnegative. We show that the associated Monge-Ampere equation can be solved on any compact…
We provide a unified framework for a systematic analysis of the existence of solutions to general nonconvex problems, relying on asymptotic and retractive cones for functions and sets. Using this framework we develop new necessary and…
We study measure-theoretical aspects of torus piecewise isometries. Not much is known about this type of dynamical systems, except for the special case of one-dimensional interval exchange mappings. The last case is fundamentally different…
We establish new upper and lower bounds on the number of queries required to test convexity of functions over various discrete domains. 1. We provide a simplified version of the non-adaptive convexity tester on the line. We re-prove the…
We construct examples showing that the normalized Lebesgue measure of the conical limit set of a uniformly quasiconformal group acting discontinuously on the disc may take any value between zero and one. This is in contrast to the cases of…
We study degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations of the form $(\omega+dd^c \varphi)^n = e^{t \varphi} \mu$ where $\omega$ is a big semi-positive form on a compact K\"ahler manifold $X$ of dimension $n$, $t \in \R^+$, and $\mu=f\omega^n$…
We consider the problem of computing the minimum value $f_{\min,K}$ of a polynomial $f$ over a compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$, which can be reformulated as finding a probability measure $\nu$ on $K$ minimizing $\int_K f d\nu$.…
We explore the relationship between convex and subharmonic functions on discrete sets. Our principal concern is to determine the setting in which a convex function is necessarily subharmonic. We initially consider the primary notions of…
Every convex optimization problem has a dual problem. The $p$-Dirichlet problem in metric measure spaces is an optimization problem whose solutions are $p$-harmonic functions. What is its dual problem? In this paper, we give an answer to…
We introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy their important properties. Moreover, they exist in…
