We consider an optimization problem in a convex space $E$ with an affine objective function, subject to $J$ constraints in the forms of inequalities on some other affine functions, where $J$ is a given nonnegative integer. Under suitable…

Extending a fundamental result for (indefinite) quadratic programs, this paper shows that certain non-convex piecewise programs have only a finite number of directional stationary values, and thus, possess only finitely many locally minimum…

In this paper, we study a second order variational problem for locally convex hypersurfaces, which is the affine invariant analogue of the classical Plateau problem for minimal surfaces. We prove existence, regularity and uniqueness results…

We discuss the question when a finite-dimensional diffeological vector space is, or turns out not to be, the coproduct of its subspaces in the category of diffeological vector spaces, after reviewing the same question in some other…

In this paper we show that a countable, residually amenable group admits a proper isometric affine action on some uniformly convex Banach space if and only if one (or equivalently, all) of its box families admits a fibred cofinitely-coarse…

In the paper Henstock, McShane, Birkhoff and variationally multivalued integrals are studied for multifunctions taking values in the hyperspace of convex and weakly compact subsets of a general Banach space X. In particular the existence of…

The concept of quasi-affine frame in Euclidean spaces was introduced to obtain translation invariance of the discrete wavelet transform. We extend this concept to a local field $K$ of positive characteristic. We show that the affine system…

In this note we give a simple sufficient condition for an affine iterated function system to admit an invariant affine subspace persistently with respect to changes in the translation parameters. This yields further examples of tuples of…

Non-convex functions that yet satisfy a condition of uniform convexity for non-close points can arise in discrete constructions. We prove that this sort of discrete uniform convexity is inherited by the convex envelope, which is the key to…

This paper gives some results related to the research problem about infinite-dimensional affine variational inequalities raised by N.D. Yen and X. Yang [Affine variational inequalities on normed spaces, J. Optim. Theory Appl., 178 (2018),…

We discuss the asymmetric sandwich theorem, a generalization of the Hahn-Banach theorem. As applications, we derive various results on the existence of linear functionals that include bivariate, trivariate and quadrivariate generalizations…

We prove non asymptotic polynomial bounds on the convergence of the Langevin Monte Carlo algorithm in the case where the potential is a convex function which is globally Lipschitz on its domain, typically the maximum of a finite number of…

Let $C$ be a convex subset of a locally convex space. We provide optimal approximate fixed point results for sequentially continuous maps $f\colon C\to\bar{C}$. First we prove that if $f(C)$ is totally bounded, then it has an approximate…

For every affine variety over a global function field, we show that the set of its points with coordinates in an arbitrary rank-one multiplicative subgroup of this function field is topologically dense in the set of its points with…

We prove extension-dimensional versions of finite dimensional selection and approximation theorems. As applications, we obtain several results on extension dimension.

The automorphism group of a regular locally finite tree is shown to admit irreducible Banach representations that are not admissible. The dense subspace of smooth vectors contains no algebraically irreducible component.

This article gives dual representations for convex integral functionals on the linear space of regular processes. This space turns out to be a Banach space containing many more familiar classes of stochastic processes and its dual can be…

It is well known that finite-dimensional polyhedral convex sets can be generated by finitely many points and finitely many directions. Representation formulas in this spirit are obtained for convex polyhedra and generalized convex polyhedra…

Let $E$ be an arbitrary subset of a Banach space $X$, $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function, and $G:E \rightrightarrows X^*$ be a set-valued mapping. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on $f, G$ for the existence of a…

We investigate certain envelopes of open sets in dual Banach spaces which are related to extending holomorphic functions. We give a variety of examples of absolutely convex sets showing that the extension is in many cases not possible. We…
