First, we give the definition for quasi-nearly subharmonic functions, now for general, not necessarily nonnegative functions, unlike previously. We point out that our function class incudes, among others, quasisubharmonic functions, nearly…

Let $\Delta_x f(x,y)=f(x+1,y)-f(x,y)$ and $\Delta_y f(x,y)=f(x,y+1)-f(x,y)$ be the difference operators with respect to $x$ and $y$. A rational function $f(x,y)$ is called summable if there exist rational functions $g(x,y)$ and $h(x,y)$…

The coefficient sequences of multivariate rational functions appear in many areas of combinatorics. Their diagonal coefficient sequences enjoy nice arithmetic and asymptotic properties, and the field of analytic combinatorics in several…

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…

Fix $k \ge 3$. If a multiplicative function $f$ satisfies \[ f(x_1+x_2+\dots+x_k) = f(x_1) + f(x_2) + \dots + f(x_k) \] for arbitrary positive triangular numbers $x_1, x_2, \dots, x_k$, then $f$ is the identity function. This extends Chung…

Subdifferentials (in the sense of convex analysis) of matrix-valued functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are convex with respect to the L\"{o}wner partial order can have a complicated structure and might be very difficult to compute…

The following generalization of a result of S. Nemirovski is proved: if $X$ is either a projective or a Stein manifold and $K\subset X$ is a compact sublevel set of a strictly plurisubharmonic function $\varphi$ defined in a neighborhood of…

We show that the set of realizations of a given dimension of a max-plus linear sequence is a finite union of polyhedral sets, which can be computed from any realization of the sequence. This yields an (expensive) algorithm to solve the…

We prove a version of the Beurling-Malliavin multiplier theorem. This version is formulated here in a simplified form. Let $u\not\equiv -\infty$ and $M\not\equiv -\infty$ be a pair of subharmonic functions on the complex plane $\mathbb C$…

In this article we have studied some properties of subharmonic functions in a strongly symmetric Riemannian manifold with a pole. As a generalization of polynomial growth of a function we have introduced the notion of polynomial growth of…

We recall the definition of quasinearly subharmonic functions, point out that this function class includes, among others, subharmonic functions, quasisubharmonic functions, nearly subharmonic functions and essentially almost subharmonic…

Computing the closed convex envelope or biconjugate is the core operation that bridges the domain of nonconvex with convex analysis. We focus here on computing the conjugate of a bivariate piecewise quadratic function defined over a…

We develop potential theory for $m$-subharmonic functions with respect to a Hermitian metric on a Hermitian manifold. First, we show that the complex Hessian operator is well-defined for bounded functions in this class. This allows to…

In this paper we introduce, via a Phragmen-Lindel\"of type theorem, a maximal plurisubharmonic function in a strongly pseudoconvex domain. We call such a function the {\sl pluricomplex Poisson kernel} because it shares many properties with…

Questions concerning small fractional parts of polynomials and pseudo-polynomials have a long history in analytic number theory. In this paper, we improve on earlier work by Madritsch and Tichy. In particular, let $f=P+\phi$ where $P$ is a…

The general purpose of this paper is to investigate the notion of "pluriharmonics" for the general potential theory associated to a convex cone $F\subset {\rm Sym}^2({\bf R}^n)$. For such $F$ there exists a maximal linear subspace $E\subset…

Let $\mathbb C$ be the complex plane, $E$ be a measurable subset in a segment $[0, R]$ of the positive semiaxis $\mathbb R^+$, $u\not\equiv -\infty$ be a subharmonic function on $\mathbb C$. The main result of this article is an upper…

We prove a representation formula for superharmonic functions on the half-space $\mathbb{R}^N_+ := \mathbb{R}^{N-1}\times]0,+\infty[$. As a consequence, we derive some comparison principles and various positivity results.

Let $u$ be a maximal plurisubharmonic function in a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{C}^n$ ($n\geq 2$). It is classical that, for any $U\Subset\Omega$, there exists a sequence of bounded plurisubharmonic functions $PSH(U)\ni u_j\searrow u$…

This is an essay on potential theory for geometric plurisubharmonic functions. It begins with a given closed subset G of the Grassmann bundle $G(p,TX)$ of tangent $p$-planes to a riemannian manifold $X$. This determines a nonlinear partial…
