We study properties of convex hulls of (co)adjoint orbits of compact groups, with applications to invariant theory and tensor product decompositions. The notion of partial convex hulls is introduced and applied to define two numerical…
Bands of vector-valued functions $f:T\mapsto\mathbb{R}^d$ are defined by considering convex hulls generated by their values concatenated at $m$ different values of the argument. The obtained $m$-bands are families of functions, ranging from…
Convexification based on convex envelopes is ubiquitous in the non-linear optimization literature. Thanks to considerable efforts of the optimization community for decades, we are able to compute the convex envelopes of a considerable…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce the new concept of weighted floating functions associated with log concave or $s$-concave functions. This leads to new notions of weighted functional affine surface areas. Their relation to more…
We extend the notion of Ulam floating sets from convex bodies to Ulam floating functions. We use the Ulam floating functions to derive a new variational formula for the affine surface area of log-concave functions.
The notions of quasiconvexity, Wright convexity and convexity for functions defined on a metric Abelian group are introduced. Various characterizations of such functions, the structural properties of the functions classes so obtained are…
We consider the volume of a Boolean expression of some congruent balls about a given system of centers in the $d$-dimensional Euclidean space. When the radius $r$ of the balls is large, this volume can be approximated by a polynomial of…
The theory of abstract convexity, also known as convexity without linearity, is an extension of the classical convex analysis. There are a number of remarkable results, mostly concerning duality, and some numerical methods, however, this…
We consider the problem of wrapping three-dimensional solid bodies with a given planar sheet of paper, where the paper may be folded or wrinkled but not stretched or torn. We propose a conjecture characterising the maximumvolume solid…
We consider the space of convex functions defined in the Euclidean $n$-dimensional space, which are lower semi-continuous and tend to infinity at infinity. We study real-valued valuations defined on this space of functions, which are…
This paper investigates the use of automatic continuity techniques in the context of valuations on convex bodies. We first provide an automatic continuity theorem for valuations restricted to parallelotopes with respect to a fixed basis.…
The previously proposed "Complexity=Volume" or CV-duality is probed and developed in several directions. We show that the apparent lack of universality for large and small black holes is removed if the volume is measured in units of the…
A classical parking function of length $n$ is a list of positive integers $(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n)$ whose nondecreasing rearrangement $b_1 \leq b_2 \leq \cdots \leq b_n$ satisfies $b_i \leq i$. The convex hull of all parking functions of…
Let $\mathcal{P}_n$ be the convex hull in $\mathbb{R}^n$ of all parking functions of length $n$. Stanley found the number of vertices and the number of facets of $\mathcal{P}_n$. Building upon these results, we determine the number of faces…
In this paper, we investigate the concept of p-convexity for sets and functions in n-dimensional Euclidean space. We establish novel algebraic and topological results within this generalized convexity framework. Furthermore, we analyze…
In this paper some Hadamard-type inequalities for convex functions of 3-variables on a rectanguler box are given. We also define a mapping related to convex functions on a rectanguler box.
In this work, based on consideration of periodicity and asymptotic forms of wave function, we propose a novel approach to the solution of finite volume three-body problem by mapping a three-body problem into a higher dimensional two-body…

We argue that the main feature behind novel properties of higher-dimensional black holes, compared to four-dimensional ones, is that their horizons can have two characteristic lengths of very different size. We develop a long-distance…
We quickly review and make some comments on the concept of convexity in metric spaces due to Takahashi. Then we introduce a concept of convex structure based convexity to functions on these spaces and refer to it as $W-$convexity.…
