The notion of a valuation on convex bodies is very classical. The notion of a valuation on a class of functions was recently introduced and studied by M. Ludwig and others. We study an explicit relation between continuous valuations on…

The volume of a Cartier divisor is an asymptotic invariant, which measures the rate of growth of sections of powers of the divisor. It extends to a continuous, homogeneous, and log-concave function on the whole N\'eron--Severi space, thus…

A complete classification of all zonal, continuous, and translation invariant valuations on convex bodies is established. The valuations obtained are expressed as principal value integrals with respect to the area measures. The convergence…

We state a conjecture about the volume of symplectically self-polar convex bodies and show that it is equivalent to Mahler's conjecture concerning the volume of a convex body and its Euclidean polar. We also establish lower and upper bounds…

Valuations on the space of finite-valued convex functions on $\mathbb{C}^n$ that are continuous, dually epi-translation invariant, as well as $\mathrm{U}(n)$-invariant are completely classified. It is shown that the space of these…

The Moreau envelope is one of the key convexity-preserving functional operations in convex analysis, and it is central to the development and analysis of many approaches for convex optimization. This paper develops the theory for an…

There are two definitions of the measurable functional on the topological vector space: as a linear and measurable real-valued function and as a pointwise limit of the sequence of the continious linear functionals. In general case they are…

In this paper we prove some monotonicity, log--convexity and log--concavity properties for the Volterra and incomplete Volterra functions. Moreover, as consequences of these results, we present some functional inequalities (like Tur\'an…

Using the duality of positive cones, we show that applying the polar transform from convex analysis to local positivity invariants for divisors gives interesting and new local positivity invariants for curves. These new invariants have nice…

We introduce floating bodies for convex, not necessarily bounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. This allows us to define floating functions for convex and log concave functions and log concave measures. We establish the asymptotic behavior of…

The "old-new" concept of convex-hull function was investigated by several authors in the last seventy years. A recent research on it led to some other volume functions as the covariogram function, the widthness function or the so-called…
