Valuations constitute a class of functionals on convex bodies which include the Euler-characteristic, the surface area, the Lebesgue-measure, and many more classical functionals. Curvature measures may be regarded as "localised`` versions…

The variation of a class of Orlicz moments with respect to the Asplund sum within the class of log-concave functions is demonstrated. Such a variational formula naturally leads to a family of dual Orlicz curvature measures for log-concave…

We first prove that the Legendre transform is the only continuous and $\mathrm{SL}(n)$ contravariant valuation that behaves as a conjugation of two important translations on super-coercive, lower semi-continuous, and convex functions. Then…

We give two different definitions of what it means for a matrix-valued function to be log concave, guided by similar notions in complex differential geometry. After discussing a few simple examples, we proceed to develop some of the basic…
