Spaces of convex and concave functions appear naturally in theory and applications. For example, convex regression and log-concave density estimation are important topics in nonparametric statistics. In stochastic portfolio theory, concave…
Weak convergence of probability measures is one of the most important topics in the field probability and statistics. In this survey paper, we look at weak convergence of probability measures from the topological vector space point of view.…
Finite frames can be viewed as mass points distributed in $N$-dimensional Euclidean space. As such they form a subclass of a larger and rich class of probability measures that we call probabilistic frames. We derive the basic properties of…
A celebrated result in convex geometry is Gr\"unbaum's inequality, which quantifies how much volume of a convex body can be cut off by a hyperplane passing through its barycenter. In this work, we establish a series of sharp Gr\"unbaum-type…
We consider the space of countable structures with fixed underlying set in a given countable language. We show that the number of ergodic probability measures on this space that are $S_\infty$-invariant and concentrated on a single…
Properties of several sorts of lattices of convex subsets of R^n are examined. The lattice of convex sets containing the origin turns out, for n>1, to satisfy a set of identities strictly between those of the lattice of all convex subsets…
We characterize Radon measures $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ that are $d$-rectifiable in the sense that their supports are covered up to $\mu$-measure zero by countably many $d$-dimensional Lipschitz graphs and $\mu \ll \mathcal{H}^{d}$. The…
In the context of Euclidean spaces equipped with an arbitrary Radon measure, we prove the equivalence among several different notions of Sobolev space present in the literature and we characterise the minimal weak upper gradient of all…
Constructing flexible probability models that respect constraints on key functionals -- such as the mean -- is a fundamental problem in nonparametric statistics. Existing approaches lack systematic tools for enforcing such constraints while…
We characterize rotund, uniformly rotund, locally uniformly rotund and compactly locally uniformly rotund spaces in terms of sets of (almost) farthest points from the unit sphere using the generalized diameter. For this we introduce few…
Borel probability measures living on metric spaces are fundamental mathematical objects. There are several meaningful distance functions that make the collection of the probability measures living on a certain space a metric space. We are…
In decision-making problems under uncertainty, probabilistic constraints are a valuable tool to express safety of decisions. They result from taking the probability measure of a given set of random inequalities depending on the decision…
A planar point set is in convex position precisely when it has a convex polygonization, that is, a polygonization with maximum interior angle measure at most \pi. We can thus talk about the convexity of a set of points in terms of the…
We characterize $n$-rectifiable metric measure spaces as those spaces that admit a countable Borel decomposition so that each piece has positive and finite $n$-densities and one of the following: is an $n$-dimensional Lipschitz…
The paper is devoted to a categorical study of the category of probabilistic metric spaces. The study is based on an isomorphic description of the category of probabilistic metric spaces. The isomorphic description was obtained in [3] and…
Given a compact pseudo-metric space, we associate to it upper and lower dimensions, depending only on the metric. Then we construct a doubling metric for which the measure of a dillated ball is closely related to these dimensions.
We study the compactness of composition operators on the Bergman spaces of certain bounded convex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with non-trivial analytic discs contained in the boundary. As a consequence we characterize that compactness of the…
The special case of closed subsets of C^n is briefly discussed.
We study metric projections onto cones in the Wasserstein space of probability measures, defined by stochastic orders. Dualities for backward and forward projections are established under general conditions. Dual optimal solutions and their…
We characterize when a compact, invariant, asymptotically stable attractor on a locally compact Hausdorff space is a strong deformation retract of its domain of attraction.
