We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a real-valued quasiconvex function f on a Baire topological vector space X (in particular, Banach or Frechet space) to be continuous at the points of a residual subset of X. These conditions…

A function $f$ from a subset of $\R^n$ to $\R$ is continuous at the origin, if and only if $\lim_{t\to 0+} f(\bs(t))=f(\bnull)$ for all continuous paths $\bs$ with $\lim_{t\to 0+} \bs(t)=\bnull$. The continuity of $f$ can, however, be…

The average value of log s(n)/n taken over the first N even integers is shown to converge to a constant lambda when N tends to infinity; moreover, the value of this constant is approximated and proven to be less than 0. Here s(n) sums the…

Various forms of Mean Value Theorems are available in the literature. If we use Flett's Mean Value Theorem in Extended Generalized Mean Value Theorem then what would the new theorem look like. A sincere effort is done to develop this…

We investigate the differentiability properties of real-valued quasiconvex functions f defined on a separable Banach space X. Continuity is only assumed to hold at the points of a dense subset. If so, this subset is automatically residual.…

Results involving various mean value properties are reviewed for harmonic, biharmonic and metaharmonic functions. It is also considered how the standard mean value property can be weakened to imply harmonicity and belonging to other classes…

Farkas' Lemma is a foundational result in linear programming, with implications in duality, optimality conditions, and stochastic and bilevel programming. Its generalizations are known as theorems of the alternative. There exist theorems of…

This paper enriches preexisting satisfiability tests for unquantified languages, which in turn augment a fragment of Tarski's elementary algebra with unary real functions possessing a continuous first derivative. Two sorts of individual…

A remarkable theorem of Besicovitch is that an integrable function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ is strongly differentiable if and only if its associated strong maximal function $M_S f$ is finite a.e. We provide an analogue of Besicovitch's result…

We consider the problem of constructing confidence intervals (CIs) for a linear functional of a regression function, such as its value at a point, the regression discontinuity parameter, or a regression coefficient in a linear or partly…

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…

Theorem 1 of [14], a minimax result for functions $f:X\times Y\to {\bf R}$, where $Y$ is a real interval, was partially extended to the case where $Y$ is a convex set in a Hausdorff topological vector space ([15], Theorem 3.2). In doing…

This article examines differentiability properties of the value function of positioning choice problems, a class of optimisation problems in finite-dimensional Euclidean spaces. We show that positioning choice problems' value function is…

Selection of descent direction at a point plays an important role in numerical optimization for minimizing a real valued function. In this article, a descent sequence is generated for the functions with bounded parameters to obtain a…

The notion of a real-valued function is central to mathematics, computer science, and many other scientific fields. Despite this importance, there are hardly any positive results on decision procedures for predicate logical theories that…

Taylor's theorem (and its variants) is widely used in several areas of mathematical analysis, including numerical analysis, functional analysis, and partial differential equations. This article explains how Taylor's theorem in its most…

Let $(\Omega,{\cal F},P)$ be a probability space and $L^{0}({\cal F},R)$ the algebra of equivalence classes of real-valued random variables on $(\Omega,{\cal F},P)$. When $L^{0}({\cal F},R)$ is endowed with the topology of convergence in…

We study the slicing and fine properties of functions in $\mathrm{BV}^{\mathcal A}$, the space of functions with bounded $\mathcal A$-variation. Here, $\mathcal A$ is a homogeneous linear differential operator with constant coefficients (of…

We obtain new mean value theorems for exponential sums with very smooth numbers, which provide a power saving against the trivial bound in region where previous bounds do not apply.

The Hirsch function of a given continuous function is a new function depending on a parameter. It exists provided some assumptions are satisfied. If this parameter takes the value one, we obtain the well-known h-index. We prove some…
