We propose a new class of hypertopologies, called here weak$^{\ast }$ hypertopologies, on the dual space $\mathcal{X}^{\ast }$ of a real or complex topological vector space $\mathcal{X}$. The most well-studied and well-known hypertopology…

Following a recent idea by Ball, we introduce the notion of strongly truncated Riesz space with a suitable spectrum. We prove that, under an extra Archimedean type condition, any strongly truncated Riesz space is isomorphic to a uniformly…

We prove bounds for the number of solutions to $$a_1 + \dots + a_k = a_1' + \dots + a_k'$$ over $N$-element sets of reals, which are sufficiently convex or near-convex. A near-convex set will be the image of a set with small additive…

The notion of ball convexity, considered in finite dimensional real Banach spaces, is a natural and useful extension of usual convexity; one replaces intersections of half-spaces by suitable intersections of balls. A subset $S$ of a normed…

If $X$ is a metric space, then its finite subset spaces $X(n)$ form a nested sequence under natural isometric embeddings $X = X(1)\subset X(2) \subset \cdots$. It was previously established, by Kovalev when $X$ is a Hilbert space and, by…

We show that in complete metric spaces, $4$-hyperconvexity is equivalent to finite hyperconvexity. Moreover, every complete, almost $n$-hyperconvex metric space is $n$-hyperconvex. This generalizes among others results of Lindenstrauss and…

We investigate the connections between UC and UC* properties for ordered pairs of subsets (A,B) in metric spaces, which are involved in the study of existence and uniqueness of best proximity points. We show that the $UC^{*}$ property is…

This article shows the existence of a class of closed bounded matrix convex sets which do not have absolute extreme points. The sets we consider are noncommutative sets, $K_X$, formed by taking matrix convex combinations of a single tuple…

In this paper we extend the notion of a Lorentz cone. We call a closed convex set isotone projection set with respect to a pointed closed convex cone if the projection onto the set is isotone (i.e., monotone) with respect to the order…

We introduce the cone of completely-positive functions, a subset of the cone of positive-type functions, and use it to fully characterize maximum-density distance-avoiding sets as the optimal solutions of a convex optimization problem. As a…

Truncated Riesz spaces was first introduced by Fremlin in the context of real-valued functions. An appropriate axiomatization of the concept was given by Ball. Keeping only the first Ball's Axiom (among three) as a definition of truncated…

We introduce a new type of norm for ordered vector spaces majorized by a proper (convex) cone that generalizes the notions of order unit norm and base norm. Then we give sufficient conditions to ensure its completeness. In the case of…

The convexity number of a set $X \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ is the minimum number of convex subsets required to cover it. We study the following question: what is the largest possible convexity number $f(n)$ of $\mathbb{R}^2 \setminus S$, where…

Let $C$ be a closed convex cone in ${\mathbb R}^n$, pointed and with interior points. We consider sets of the form $A=C\setminus A^\bullet$, where $A^\bullet\subset C$ is a closed convex set. If $A$ has finite volume (Lebesgue measure),…

There are presented certain results on extending continuous linear operators defined on spaces of E-valued continuous functions (defined on a compact Hausdorff space X) to linear operators defined on spaces of E-valued measurable functions…

One of the oldest and richest problems from continuous location science is the famous Fermat-Torricelli problem, asking for the unique point in Euclidean space that has minimal distance sum to n given (non-collinear) points. Many natural…

Methods for measuring convexity defects of compacts in R^n abound. However, none of the those measures seems to take into account continuity. Continuity in convexity measure is essential for optimization, stability analysis, global…

Given a convex set and an interior point close to the boundary, we prove the existence of a supporting hyperplane whose distance to the point is controlled, in a dimensionally quantified way, by the thickness of the convex set in the…

We study the problem of reconstructing a positive discrete measure on a compact set $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ from a finite set of moments (possibly known only approximately) via convex optimization. We give new uniqueness results, new…

Let $X$ be a Banach space with the unit ball $B(X)$ and $A\subset X$ be a convex origin-symmetric compact in $X$. Let $\mathrm{j}:X\rightarrow \widetilde{X}$ be an isometric extension of $X$. It is well-known that linear widths $\lambda…
