To a mesh function we associate the natural analogue of the Monge-Ampere measure. The latter is shown to be equivalent to the Monge-Ampere measure of the convex envelope. We prove that the uniform convergence to a bounded convex function of…
We consider a class of discrete convex functionals which satisfy a (generalized) coarea formula, and study their limit in the continuum.
Non-convex functions that yet satisfy a condition of uniform convexity for non-close points can arise in discrete constructions. We prove that this sort of discrete uniform convexity is inherited by the convex envelope, which is the key to…
The Lebesgue property (order-continuity) of a monotone convex function on a solid vector space of measurable functions is characterized in terms of (1) the weak inf-compactness of the conjugate function on the order-continuous dual space,…
We show that domains, that allow for convex functions with unbounded gradient at their boundary, are convex.
In this work, using Moreau envelopes, we define a complete metric for the set of proper lower semicontinuous convex functions. Under this metric, the convergence of each sequence of convex functions is epi-convergence. We show that the set…
Given a convex set $C$ in a real vector space $E$ and two points $x,y\in C$, we investivate which are the possible values for the variation $f(y)-f(x)$, where $f:C\longrightarrow [m,M]$ is a bounded convex function. We then rewrite the…
Regular variation of a multivariate measure with a Lebesgue density implies the regular variation of its density provided the density satisfies some regularity conditions. Unlike the univariate case, the converse also requires regularity…
We describe the boundary behaviors of the squeezing functions for all bounded convex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ and bounded domains with a $C^2$ strongly convex boundary point.
For finite difference discretizations with linear complexity and provably convergent to weak solutions of the second boundary value problem for the Monge-Amp\`ere equation, we give the first proof of uniqueness. The boundary condition is…
We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…
We consider a Monge-Amp\`ere functional and its corresponding second boundary value problem, a nonlinear fourth order PDE with two Dirichlet boundary conditions. This problem was solved by Trudinger-Wang and Le under the assumption that the…
The class of $\mu$-compact sets can be considered as a natural extension of the class of compact metrizable subsets of locally convex spaces, to which the particular results well known for compact sets can be generalized. This class…

Given an orthogonal lattice with mesh length h on a bounded convex domain, we propose to approximate the Aleksandrov solution of the Monge-Ampere equation by regularizing the data and discretizing the equation in a subdomain using the…
The convexity of solutions to boundary value problems for fully nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations (such as real or complex $k$-Hessian equations) is a challenging topic. In this paper, we establish the power convexity of…
For a function defined on a convex set in a Euclidean space, midpoint convexity is the property requiring that the value of the function at the midpoint of any line segment is not greater than the average of its values at the endpoints of…
