The so-called l0 pseudonorm on Rd counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. It is used in sparse optimization, either as criterion or in the constraints, to obtain solutions with few nonzero entries. For such problems, the…
The so-called l0 pseudonorm counts the number of nonzero components of a vector of a Euclidian space. It is well-known that the l0 pseudonorm is not convex, as its Fenchel biconjugate is zero. In this paper, we introduce a suitable…
The so-called l0 pseudonorm, or cardinality function, counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. In this paper, we analyze the l0 pseudonorm by means of so-called Capra (constant along primal rays) conjugacies, for which the…
The l0 pseudonorm counts the nonzero coordinates of a vector. It is often used in optimization problems to enforce the sparsity of the solution. However, this function is nonconvex and noncontinuous, and optimization problems formulated…
The support of a vector in R d is the set of indices with nonzero entries. Functions of the support have the property to be 0-homogeneous and, because of that, the Fenchel conjugacy fails to provide relevant analysis. In this paper, we…
This paper focuses on a specific form of abstract convexity known as Capra-convexity, where a constant along primal rays (Capra) coupling replaces the scalar product used in standard convex analysis to define generalized Fenchel…
Whereas the norm of a vector measures amplitude (and is a 1-homogeneous function), sparsity is measured by the 0-homogeneous l0 pseudonorm, which counts the number of nonzero components. We propose a family of conjugacies suitable for the…
The classical $C^0$ linearization theorem for the non-autonomous differential equations states the existence of a $C^0$ topological conjugacy between the nonlinear system and its linear part. That is, there exists a homeomorphism…

In 2010, Gordan \v{Z}itkovi\'{c} introduced the notion of convex compactness for a convex subset of a linear topological space and gave some important applications to both nonlinear analysis and mathematical economics in [ Gordan…
A pointed convex cone naturally induces a partial order, and further a notion of nondecreasingness for functions. We consider extended real-valued functions defined on the cone. Monotone conjugates for these functions can be defined in an…
Let $(B,\|\cdot\|)$ be a Banach space, $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P)$ a probability space and $L^0(\mathcal{F},B)$ the set of equivalence classes of strong random elements (or strongly measurable functions) from $(\Omega,\mathcal{F},P)$ to…
The so-called l0 pseudonorm on the Euclidean space Rd counts the number of nonzero components of a vector. We say that a sequence of norms is strictly increasingly graded (with respect to the l0 pseudonorm) if it is nondecreasing and that…
In this work, we introduce a new class of non-convex functions, called implicit concave functions, which are compositions of a concave function with a continuously differentiable mapping. We analyze the properties of their minimization by…
We prove the following result: Let K be a lattice, let D be a distributive lattice with zero, and let $\phi$: Con K $\to$ D be a {∨, 0}-homomorphism, where Conc K denotes the {∨, 0}-semilattice of all finitely generated…
This paper constructs a counterexample showing that not every locally $L^0$--convex topology is necessarily induced by a family of $L^0$--seminorms. Random convex analysis is the analytic foundation for $L^0$--convex conditional risk…
We establish a Fenchel-Moreau type theorem for proper convex functions $f\colon X\to \bar{L}^0$, where $(X, Y, \langle \cdot,\cdot \rangle)$ is a dual pair of Banach spaces and $\bar L^0$ is the space of all extended real-valued functions…
The loop-current state discovered in under-doped cuprates is characterized by a vector ${\bf \Omega}$ which has four possible orientations which correspond to different domains of order in a perfect sample. Since translational symmetry…
In this paper, we study classes of discrete convex functions: submodular functions on modular semilattices and L-convex functions on oriented modular graphs. They were introduced by the author in complexity classification of minimum…
This paper provides versions of classical results from linear algebra, real analysis and convex analysis in a free module of finite rank over the ring $L^0$ of measurable functions on a $\sigma$-finite measure space. We study the question…
