Edwards' Theorem establishes duality between a convex cone in the space of continuous functions on a compact space and the set of representing or Jensen measures for this cone. In this paper we prove non-compact versions of this theorem.
The Brunn-Minkowski and Pr\'{e}kopa-Leindler inequalities admit a variety of proofs that are inspired by convexity. Nevertheless, the former holds for compact sets and the latter for integrable functions so it seems that convexity has no…
We establish conditions for the discrete versions of logarithmic concavity and convexity of the higher order regularized basic hypergeometric function with respect simultaneous shift of all its parameters. For a particular case of Heine's…
In this paper we further develop the theory of f-divergences for log-concave functions and their related inequalities. We establish Pinsker inequalities and new affine invariant entropy inequalities. We obtain new inequalities on functional…
The Kronecker theta function is a quotient of the Jacobi theta functions, which is also a special case of Ramanujan's $_1\psi_1$ summation. Using the Kronecker theta function as building blocks, we prove a decomposition theorem for theta…
In functional analysis it is well known that every linear functional defined on the dual of a locally convex vector space which is continuous for the weak topology is the evaluation at a uniquely determined point of the given vector space.…
Let $\Phi$ : R n $\rightarrow$ R $\cup$ {+$\infty$} be an even convex function and L$\Phi$ be its Legendre transform. We prove the functional form of Mahler conjecture concerning the functional volume product P ($\Phi$) = e --$\Phi$ e…

In this paper we contribute to the frequently studied question of how to decompose a continuous piecewise linear (CPWL) function into a difference of two convex CPWL functions. Every CPWL function has infinitely many such decompositions,…
Chapter 1 deals with the problem of the existence of an upper/lower envelope from a convex cone or, more generally, a convex set for functions on the projective limit of vector lattices with values in the completion of the Kantorovich space…
We study monotonicity and convexity properties of functions arising in the theory of elliptic integrals, and in particular in the case of a Schwarz-Christoffel conformal mapping from a half-plane to a trapezoid. We obtain sharp monotonicity…
We introduce an analog of the $L$-function for noncommutative tori. It is proved that such a function coincides with the Hasse-Weil $L$-function of an elliptic curve with complex multiplication. As a corollary, one gets a localization…
In this article we pose the problem of existence and uniqueness of convex body for which the projection curvature radius function coincides with given function. We find a necessary and sufficient condition that ensures a positive answer to…
We investigate geometric and functional inequalities for the class of log-concave probability sequences. We prove dilation inequalities for log-concave probability measures on the integers. A functional analogue of this geometric inequality…

We investigate the weighted $L_p$ affine surface areas which appear in the recently established $L_p$ Steiner formula of the $L_p$ Brunn Minkowski theory. We show that they are valuations on the set of convex bodies and prove isoperimetric…
In this paper we present another proof of the analytic version of the Hahn-Banach theorem in terms of convex functionals.
We prove that the overpartition function is log-concave for all n>1. The proof is based on Sills Rademacher type series for the overpartition function and inspired by Desalvo and Pak's proof for the partition function.
The notion of ordinal concavity of utility functions has recently been considered by Hafalir, Kojima, Yenmez, and Yokote in economics while there exist earlier related works in discrete optimization and operations research. In the present…
