Given a function $f$ defined on a nonempty and convex subset of the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space, we prove that if $f$ is bounded from below and it satisfies a convexity-type functional inequality with infinite convex combinations, then…

In the context of global optimization of mixed-integer nonlinear optimization formulations, we consider smoothing univariate functions $f$ that satisfy $f(0)=0$, $f$ is increasing and concave on $[0,+\infty)$, $f$ is twice differentiable on…

We present here a new method for approximating functions defined on superreflexive Banach spaces by differentiable functions with $\alpha$-H\"older derivatives (for some $0<\alpha\leq 1$). The smooth approximation is given by means of an…

We show that for every connected analytic subvariety $V$ there is a pseudoconvex set $\Omega$ such that every bounded matrix-valued holomorphic function on $V$ extends isometrically to $\Omega$. We prove that if $V$ is two analytic disks…

We construct a H\"older continuous function on the unit interval which coincides in uncountably (in fact continuum) many points with every function of total variation smaller than 1 passing through the origin. We say that a function with…

Two criteria for the robust quasiconvexity of lower semicontinuous functions are established in terms of Fr\'echet subdifferentials in Asplund spaces.

We show that every strictly pseudoconvex domain $\Omega$ with smooth boundary in a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ admits a global defining function, i.e., a smooth plurisubharmonic function $\varphi \colon U \to \mathbb R$ defined on an…

In this paper we establish new characterizations of stable derivators, thereby obtaining additional interpretations of the passage from (pointed) topological spaces to spectra and, more generally, of the stabilization. We show that a…

A subequation on an open subset $X\subset \mathbb R^n$ is a subset $F$ of the space of $2$-jets on $X$ with certain properties. A smooth function is said to be $F$-subharmonic if all of its $2$-jets lie in $F$, and using the viscosity…

We construct a separate continuous function $f\colon\mathbb{Q}\times\mathbb{Q}\to[0,1] $ and a dense subset $D\subseteq \mathbb{Q}\times\mathbb{Q}$ such that $f[D]$ is not dense in $f[\mathbb{Q}\times\mathbb{Q}]$, in other words, $f$ is…

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…

All beta-type functions, which are p-homogeneous, are determined. Applying this result, we show that a beta-type function is a homogeneous mean iff it is the harmonic one. A reformulation of a result due to Heuvers in terms of a Cauchy…

This paper explores a method for solving constrained optimization problems when the derivatives of the objective function are unavailable, while the derivatives of the constraints are known. We allow the objective and constraint function to…

In this paper, we study some problems with continuously differentiable quasiconvex objective function. We prove that exactly one of the following two alternatives holds: (I) the gradient of the objective function is different from zero over…

A relatively polynomially convex subset $V$ of a domain $\Omega$ has the extension property if for every polynomial $p$ there is a bounded holomorphic function $\phi$ on $\Omega$ that agrees with $p$ on $V$ and whose $H^\infty$ norm on…

We continue the analysis in [3] of matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined in a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus [5]. We amend and improve some…

Let $f$ be a holomorphic modular form of prime level $p$ and trivial nebentypus. We show that there exists a computable $\delta>0$, such that $$ L\left(\tfrac{1}{2},\mathrm{Sym}^2 f\right)\ll p^{\tfrac{1}{2}-\delta}, $$ with the implied…

In this note we study restrictions on the recently introduced super-additive and sub-additive transformations, $A\mapsto A^*$ and $A\mapsto A_*$, of an aggregation function $A$. We prove that if $A^*$ has a slightly stronger property of…

We discuss removability problems concerning differentiability and pointwise Lipschitz conditions for functions of a real variable. We prove that, in each of the settings under consideration, a set is removable if and only if it has no…

We consider the space of real-valued continuously differentiable functions on a compact subset of a euclidean space. We characterize the completeness of this space and prove that the space of restrictions of continuously differentiable…
