We formulate a multi-valued version of the Tietze-Urysohn extension theorem. Precisely, we prove that any upper semicontinuous multi-valued map with nonempty closed convex values defined on a closed subset (resp. closed perfectly normal…

In this paper we study the Y-convexity, a property which is obtained by considering a real Banach sequence lattice Y instead of $\ell^p$ for a linear operator $T : E \rightarrow X$, where E is a Banach space and X is a Banach lattice. We…

A double sequence $\{x_{k,l}\}$ is quasi-Cauchy if given an $\epsilon > 0$ there exists an $N \in {\bf N}$ such that $$\max_{r,s= 1\mbox{ and/or} 0} \left \{|x_{k,l} - x_{k+r,l+s}|< \epsilon\right \} .$$ We study continuity type properties…

Let S be a dense sub-semigroup of the positive real numbers, and let X be a separable, reflexive Banach space. This note contains a proof that every weakly continuous contractive semigroup of operators on X over S can be extended to a…

This article develops a duality principle for a semi-linear model in micro-magnetism. The results are obtained through standard tools of convex analysis and the Legendre transform concept. We emphasize the dual variational formulation…

Convex algebraic geometry concerns the interplay between optimization theory and real algebraic geometry. Its objects of study include convex semialgebraic sets that arise in semidefinite programming and from sums of squares. This article…

By applying the perturbation function approach, we propose the Lagrangian and the conjugate duals for minimization problems of the sum of two, generally nonconvex, functions. The main tools are the $\Phi$-convexity theory and minimax…

We introduce a notion of quasiconvexity for continuous functions $f$ defined on the vector bundle of linear maps between the tangent spaces of a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and $\mathbb{R}^m$, naturally generalizing the classical…

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…

In the dual $L_{\Phi^*}$ of a $\Delta_2$-Orlicz space $L_\Phi$, that we call a dual Orlicz space, we show that a proper (resp. finite) convex function is lower semicontinuous (resp. continuous) for the Mackey topology…

Langrange duality theorems for vector and set optimization problems which are based on an consequent usage of infimum and supremum (in the sense greatest lower and least upper bounds with respect to a partial ordering) have been recently…

We formalize the observation that the same summability methods converge in a Banach space $X$ and its dual $X^*$. At the same time we determine conditions under which these methods converge in the weak and weak*-topologies on $X$ and $X^*$…

We analyse the strong connections between spaces of vector-valued Lipschitz functions and spaces of linear continuous operators. We apply these links to study duality, Schur properties and norm attainment in the former class of spaces as…

In this paper we introduce a new semicontinuity notion, which is weaker than upper semicontinuity, and assures the closedness of the sets $G(y)=\{x\in K: f(x,y)\not\in -\inte C\}.$ Furhter, this semicontinuity is also closed under addition.…

Deploying mathematical optimization in autonomous production systems requires precise contracts for objects returned by an optimization solver. Unfortunately, conventions on dual solution and infeasibility certificates (rays) vary widely…

The present paper contributes to the ongoing programme of quantification of isomorphic Banach space theory focusing on Pe{\l}czy\'nski's classical work on dual Banach spaces containing $L_{1}$ ($=L_{1}[0,1]$) and the Hagler--Stegall…

An $L^2$ version of the Serre duality on domains in complex manifolds involving duality of Hilbert space realizations of the $\bar{\partial}$-operator is established. This duality is used to study the solution of the…

Having been unclear how to define that a domain is strictly pseudoconvex in the infinite-dimensional setting, we develop a general theory having Banach spaces in mind. We first focus on finite dimension and eliminate the need of two degrees…

We give an example of a convex, finite and lower semicontinuous function whose subdifferential is everywhere empty. This is possible since the function is defined on an incomplete normed space. The function serves as a universal…
