This paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for a real-valued function defined on an open and convex subset of a Banach space to be quasi-concave, and a sufficient condition for such a function to be strictly quasi-concave.…

This paper addresses the study and characterizations of variational convexity of extended-real-valued functions on Banach spaces. This notion has been recently introduced by Rockafellar, and its importance has been already realized and…

This paper is devoted to a systematic study and characterizations of the fundamental notions of variational and strong variational convexity for lower semicontinuous functions. While these notions have been quite recently introduced by…

A Fenchel-Moreau type duality for proper convex and lower semi-continuous functions $f\colon X\to \overline{L^0}$ is established where $(X,Y,\langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ is a dual pair of Banach spaces and $\overline{L^0}$ is the set of…

Roughly speaking, Ekeland's Variational Principle (EkVP) (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 47 (1974), 324--353) asserts the existence of strict minima of some perturbed versions of lower semicontinuous functions defined on a complete metric space.…

We establish a Fenchel-Moreau type theorem for proper convex functions $f\colon X\to \bar{L}^0$, where $(X, Y, \langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ is a dual pair of Banach spaces and $\bar L^0$ is the space of all extended real-valued functions…

We consider perturbations of Hamiltonians whose Fourier symbol attains its minimum along a hypersurface. Such operators arise in several domains, like spintronics, theory of supercondictivity, or theory of superfluidity. Variational…

We prove an extension theorem (with non-tangential limits) for vector-valued Baire one functions. Moreover, at every point where the function is continuous (or bounded), the continuity (or boundedness) is preserved. More precisely: Let $H$…

We show that for any bounded operator $T$ acting on infinite dimensional, complex Banach space, and for any $\varepsilon>0$, there exists an operator $F$ of rank at most one and norm smaller than $\varepsilon$ such that $T+F$ has an…

We provide a first-order necessary and sufficient condition for optimality of lower semicontinuous functions on Banach spaces using the concept of subdifferential. From the sufficient condition we derive that any subdifferential operator is…

We make some remarks on the global shape of continuous convex functions defined on a Banach space $Z$. Among other results we prove that if $Z$ is separable then for every continuous convex function $f:Z\to\mathbb{R}$ there exist a unique…

In this paper, in particular, we prove the following result: Let $E$ be a reflexive real Banach space and let $C\subset E$ be a closed convex set, with non-empty interior, whose boundary is sequentially weakly closed and non-convex. Then,…

Let $H$ be a Hilbert space that can be embedded as a dense subspace of a Banach space $X$ such that the norm of the embedding is equal to $1$. We consider the following statements for a nonzero vector $\varphi$ in $H$: (A) $\|\varphi\|_X =…

Suppose $f(x,y) + \frac{\kappa}{2} \|x\|^2 - \frac{\sigma}{2}\|y\|^2$ is convex where $\sigma>0$, and the argmin function $\gamma(x) = \{ \gamma : \inf_y f(x,y) = f(x,\gamma)\}$ exists and is single valued. We will prove $\gamma$ is…

We prove a variation norm Carleson theorem for Walsh-Fourier series of functions with values in a UMD Banach space. Our only hypothesis on the Banach space is that it has finite tile-type, a notion introduced by Hyt\"onen and Lacey. Given q…

In this paper, we study a class of Banach spaces, called \phi-spaces. In a natural way, we associate a measure of weak compactness in such spaces and prove an analogue of Sadovskii fixed point theorem for weakly sequentially continuous…

In this article, we refine and slightly strengthen the metric space version of the Borwein-Preiss variational principle due to Li, Shi, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 246, 308-319 (2000), clarify the assumptions and conclusions of their Theorem 1 as…

We prove that if $X$ is a quasi-normed space which possesses an infinite countable dimensional subspace with a separating dual, then it admits a strictly weaker Hausdorff vector topology. Such a topology is constructed explicitly. As an…

The Hahn-Banach theorem is an extension theorem for linear functionals which preserves certain properties. Specifically, if a linear functional is defined on a subspace of a real vector space which is dominated by a sublinear functional on…

In this paper, we first investigate an abstract subdifferential for which (using Ekeland's variational principle) we can prove an analog of the Br{\o}ndsted-Rockafellar property. We introduce the "$r_L$-density" of a subset of the product…
