We prove a Lusin approximation of functions of bounded variation. If $f$ is a function of bounded variation on an open set $\Omega\subset X$, where $X=(X,d,\mu)$ is a given complete doubling metric measure space supporting a $1$-Poincar\'e…

It is well known that the traditional Jensen inequality is proved by lower bounding the given convex function, $f(x)$, by the tangential affine function that passes through the point $(E\{X\},f(E\{X\}))$, where $E\{X\}$ is the expectation…

Roughly speaking, functional analysis is the study of vector spaces of arbitrary dimension over the field of real or complex numbers, and the continuous linear mappings between such spaces. Naturally, the notion of continuity requires a…

Let $U \subset \mathbb A^n$ be an open subset of real affine space. We consider functions $F: U \to \mathbb R$ with non-degenerate Hessian such that the first or the third derivative of $F$ is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita…

It is a well-known result by Saks \cite{Saks1934} that there exists a function $f \in L^1(\mathbb{R}^2)$ so that for almost every $(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}^2$ \[ \lim_{\substack{\mathrm{diam} R\rightarrow 0, \\ (x,y) \in R \in…

This paper is devoted to the proof Gauss' divergence theorem in the framework of "ultrafunctions". They are a new kind of generalized functions, which have been introduced recently [2] and developed in [4], [5] and [6]. Their peculiarity is…

We consider point distributions in compact connected two-point homogeneous spaces (Riemannian symmetric spaces of rank one). All such spaces are known, they are the spheres in the Euclidean spaces, the real, complex and quaternionic…

A classical inequality, which is known for families of monotone functions, is generalized to a larger class of families of measurable functions. Moreover we characterize all the families of functions for which the equality holds. We apply…

An equidistant set in the Euclidean space consists of points having equal distances to both members of a given pair of sets, called focal sets. Since there is no effective formula to compute the distance of a point and a set, it is hard to…

It is well-known that the Bhattacharyya, Hellinger, Kullback-Leibler, $\alpha$-divergences, and Jeffreys' divergences between densities belonging to a same exponential family have generic closed-form formulas relying on the strictly convex…

We investigate metric projections and distance functions referring to convex bodies in finite-dimensional normed spaces. For this purpose we identify the vector space with its dual space by using, instead of the usual identification via the…
