Let $(\Phi,\Psi)$ be a conjugate pair of Orlicz functions. A set in the Orlicz space $L^\Phi$ is said to be order closed if it is closed with respect to dominated convergence of sequences of functions. A well known problem arising from the…

Given an approximately continuous function $f$ in an Orlicz space $L^\Phi([a,b]),$ for a suitable class of convex functions $\Phi,$ we employ a characterization of the best monotone approximation set to establish its continuity, which in…

Several local geometric properties of Orlicz space $L_\phi$ are presented for an increasing Orlicz function $\phi$ which is not necessarily convex, and thus $L_\phi$ does not need to be a Banach space. In addition to monotonicity of $\phi$…

Here is one of the results obtained in this paper: Let $X, Y$ be two convex sets each in a real vector space, let $J:X\times Y\to {\bf R}$ be convex and without global minima in $X$ and concave in $Y$, and let $\Phi:X\to {\bf R}$ be…

We study uniqueness of best approximation in Orlicz spaces L$\Phi$, for different types of convex functions $\Phi$ and for some finite dimensional approximation classes of functions, where Tchebycheff spaces, and more general approximation…

In this paper, we present a characterization of support functionals and smooth points in $L_{0}^{\Phi}$, the Musielak-Orlicz space equipped with the Orlicz norm. As a result, criterion for the smoothness of $L_{0}^{\Phi}$ is also obtained.…

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…

The main result of this paper characterizes the continuity from below of monotone functionals on the space $C_b$ of bounded continuous functions on an arbitrary Polish space as lower semicontinuity in the mixed topology. In this particular…

We study the class of compact convex subsets of a topological vector space which admits a strictly convex and lower semicontinuous function. We prove that such a compact set is embeddable in a strictly convex dual Banach space endowed with…

Results on the upper and lower semicontinuity of functionals defined on spaces of convex and more general functions are established. In particular, the following result is obtained. Let $\phi(v; \cdot)$ be the density of the absolutely…

Let $G$ be a locally compact second countable groupoid with a fixed Haar system $\lambda=\{\lambda^{u}\}_{u\in G^{0}}$ and $(\Phi,\Psi)$ be a complementary pair of $N$-functions satisfying $\Delta_{2}$-condition. In this article, we…

Answering to a recent question raised by Le\'{s}nik, Maligranda, and Tomaszewski, we prove that there is an Orlicz function $\Phi$ with the upper Matuszewska-Orlicz index equal to $1$ such that the Orlicz space $L_\Phi$ does not satisfy…

We prove that, any problem of minimization of proper lower semicontinuous function defined on a normal Hausdorff space, is canonically equivalent to a problem of minimization of a proper weak * lower semicontinuous convex function defined…

This paper studies topological duals of Banach function spaces (BFS). We assume a finite measure but our arguments extend to general locally convex function spaces whose topology is generated by seminorms that satisfy the usual BFS axioms.…

In the paper, we analyze the Lebesgue exponents $p_\Phi$ and $q_\Phi$, and show that for any $p_\Phi< p < \infty$ and $1< q<q_\Phi$, there exists an equivalent Young function $\Psi$ with $p < p_\Psi < \infty$ and $1<q_\Psi < q$. This type…

We prove minimax theorems for lower semicontinuous functions defined on a Hilbert space. The main tool is the theory of $\Phi$-convex functions and sufficient and necessary conditions for the minimax equality to hold for $\Phi$-convex…

A necessary and sufficient condition for fractional Orlicz-Sobolev spaces to be continuously embedded into $L^\infty(\mathbb R^n)$ is exhibited. Under the same assumption, any function from the relevant fractional-order spaces is shown to…

We study Orlicz functions that do not satisfy the $\Delta_2$-condition at zero. We prove that for every Orlicz function $M$ such that $\limsup_{t\to0}M(t)/t^p >0$ for some $p\ge1$, there exists a positive sequence $T=(t_k)_{k=1}^\infty$…
