Many problems of theoretical and practical interest involve finding an optimum over a family of convex functions. For instance, finding the projection on the convex functions in $H^k(\Omega)$, and optimizing functionals arising from some…
For a real-valued non-negative and log-concave function we introduce a notion of difference function; the difference function represents a functional analog on the difference body of a convex body. We prove a sharp inequality which bounds…
This paper studies the strong quasiconvexity of norm and distance functions in finite-dimensional normed spaces. Although the Euclidean norm is known to be strongly quasiconvex on bounded convex sets, a complete characterization of this…
This paper presents a general study of one-dimensional differentiability for functionals defined on convex domains that are not necessarily open. The local approximation is carried out using affine functionals, as opposed to linear…
The subdifferential of a function is a generalization for nonsmooth functions of the concept of gradient. It is frequently used in variational analysis, particularly in the context of nonsmooth optimization. The present work proposes…
In this paper, we prove that the closure of a bounded pseudoconvex domain, which is spirallike with respect to a globally asymptotic stable holomorphic vector field, is polynomially convex. We also provide a necessary and sufficient…
A real valued function $f$ defined on a convex $K$ is anemconvex function iff it satisfies $$ f((x+y)/2) \le (f(x)+f(y))/2 + 1. $$ A thorough study of approximately convex functions is made. The principal results are a sharp universal upper…
We study the Riemannian distance function from a fixed point (a point-wise target) of Euclidean space in the presence of a compact obstacle bounded by a smooth hypersurface. First, we show that such a function is locally semiconcave with a…
In this paper, we provide some characterizations of strong pseudoconvexity by the boundary behavior of intrinsic invariants for smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domains of finite type in $\mathbb{C}^2$. As a consequence, if such domain is…
We prove that convex functions of finite order on the real line and subharmonic functions of finite order on finite dimensional real space, bounded from above outside of some set of zero relative Lebesgue density, are bounded from above…
In this article we discuss an important students' misconception about derivatives, that the expression of the derivative of the function contains the information as to whether the function is differentiable or not where the expression is…
In this study, we explore the partial identification of nonseparable models with continuous endogenous and binary instrumental variables. We show that the structural function is partially identified when it is monotone or concave in the…
In this paper, using the tools from the lineability theory, we distinguish certain subsets of $p$-adic differentiable functions. Specifically, we show that the following sets of functions are large enough to contain an infinite dimensional…
We prove that subharmonic functions of finite order on finite dimensional real space, bounded from above outside of some asymptotically small sets on spheres, are bounded from above everywhere. It follows that subharmonic functions of…
The paper considers the minimization of a separable convex function subject to linear ascending constraints. The problem arises as the core optimization in several resource allocation scenarios, and is a special case of an optimization of a…
In this paper, we propose the Fourier Discrepancy Function, a new discrepancy to compare discrete probability measures. We show that this discrepancy takes into account the geometry of the underlying space. We prove that the Fourier…
The purpose of this article is twofold. The first aim is to characterize $h$-extendibility of smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb C^{n+1}$ by their noncompact automorphism groups. Our second goal is to show that if the…
J. E. Fornaess has posed the question whether the boundary point of smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain is strictly pseudoconvex, if the asymptotic limit of the squeezing function is 1. The purpose of this paper is to give an affirmative…
We construct a smoothly bounded pseudoconvex domain such that every boundary point has a p.s.h. peak function but some boundary point admits no (local) holomorphic peak function.
The range of the divisor function $\sigma_{-1}$ is dense in the interval $[1,\infty)$. However, the range of the function $\sigma_{-2}$ is not dense in the interval $\displaystyle{\left[1,\frac{\pi^2}{6}\right)}$. We begin by generalizing…
