In this paper, we study the eigenvalue problem for the Monge-Amp\`ere operator on general bounded convex domains. We prove the existence, uniqueness and variational characterization of the Monge-Amp\`ere eigenvalue. The convex…
Let $\Omega$ be a bounded, pseudoconvex domain of $\mathbb C^n$ satisfying the "$f$-Property". The $f$-Property is a consequence of the geometric "type" of the boundary; it holds for all pseudoconvex domains of finite type but may also…
We will define the Monge-Amp\`ere operator on finite (weakly) plurifinely plurisubharmonic functions in plurifinely open sets in complex n-space and show that it defines a positive measure. Ingredients of the proof include a direct proof…
A method of proving local continuity of concave functions on convex set possessing the $\mu$-compactness property is presented. This method is based on a special approximation of these functions. The class of $\mu$-compact sets can be…
This is a continuation of our earlier work [14] on the Monge-Amp\`ere obstacle problem \[ \det D^2 v = v^q \chi_{\{v>0\}}, \quad v \geq 0 \text{ convex} \] with $q \in [0,n)$, where we studied the regularity of the strictly convex part of…
In this paper, we unify and improve existing results on characterizing strict and almost stricty convex functions via subdifferential mapping, Moreau envelope, and proximal mappings. In particular, it is shown that if a convex function is…
Submodular set-functions have many applications in combinatorial optimization, as they can be minimized and approximately maximized in polynomial time. A key element in many of the algorithms and analyses is the possibility of extending the…
We consider smooth solutions to the Monge-Amp`ere equation subject to mixed boundary conditions on annular domains. We establish global $C^2$ estimates when the boundary of the domain consists of two smooth strictly convex closed…
We show that the Monge-Amp\`ere eigenfunctions of general bounded convex domains are globally Lipschitz. The same result holds for convex solutions to degenerate Monge-Amp\`ere equations of the form $\det D^2 u =M|u|^p$ with zero boundary…
Abstract convexity generalises classical convexity by considering the suprema of functions taken from an arbitrarily defined set of functions. These are called the abstract linear (abstract affine) functions. The purpose of this paper is to…
We show the existence of a strictly convex function $u: B_1 \to \mathbb{R}$ with associated Monge-Amp\`ere measure represented by a function $f$ with $0 < f < 1$ a.e. whose Hessian has a singular part. This extends the work [13] and answers…
We develop two-scale methods for computing the convex envelope of a continuous function over a convex domain in any dimension.This hinges on a fully nonlinear obstacle formulation [A. M. Oberman, "The convex envelope is the solution of a…
Discrete convex functions are used in many areas, including operations research, discrete-event systems, game theory, and economics. The objective of this paper is to offer a survey on fundamental operations for various kinds of discrete…
We construct a special plurisubharmonic defining function for a smoothly bounded strictly pseudoconvex domain so that the determinant of the complex Hessian vanishes to high order on the boundary. This construction, coupled with regularity…
The central purpose of the present paper is to study boundary behavior of squeezing functions on bounded domains. We prove that the squeezing function of a strongly pseudoconvex domain tends to 1 near the boundary. In fact, such an estimate…
A $C^2$ function on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is called strictly $(n-1)$-convex if the sum of any $n-1$ eigenvalues of its Hessian is positive. In this paper, we establish a global $C^2$ estimates to the Monge-Amp\`ere equation for strictly…
We prove two separate lower bounds -- one for nondegenerate convex domains and the other for nondegenerate $\mathbb{C}$-convex (but not necessarily convex) domains -- for the squeezing function that hold true for all domains in…
In this paper, we prove global second derivative estimates for solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the Monge-Ampere equation when the inhomogeneous term is only assumed to be Holder continuous. As a consequence of our approach, we also…
By considering a certain univalent function in the open unit disk U, that maps U onto a strip domain, we introduce a new class of analytic and close-to-convex functions by means of a certain non-homogeneous Cauchy-Euler-type differential…
In this paper we give some results about the approximation of a Lipschitz function on a Banach space by means of $\Delta$-convex functions. In particular, we prove that the density of $\Delta$-convex functions in the set of Lipschitz…
