The purpose of this paper is to introduce the logarithmic mean of two convex functionals that extends the logarithmic mean of two positive operators. Some inequalities involving this functional mean are discussed as well. The operator…

It is proved that for every stratifiable space $Y$ and a closed subset $X\subset Y$ there exists a regular (i.e. linear positive with unit norm) extension operator $T:C(X\times X)\to C(Y\times Y)$ preserving the class of (pseudo)metrics.…

Let $A$ and $ B$ be $n\times n$ positive definite complex matrices, let $\sigma$ be a matrix mean, and let $f : [0,\infty)\to [0,\infty)$ be a differentiable convex function with $f(0)=0$. We prove that $$f^{\prime}(0)(A \sigma B)\leq…

We study in this paper properties of functions of perturbed normal operators and develop earlier results obtained in \cite{APPS2}. We study operator Lipschitz and commutator Lipschitz functions on closed subsets of the plane. For such…

For $\delta$ an $m$-tuple of analytic functions, we define an algebra $\hidg$, contained in the bounded analytic functions on the analytic polyhedron $ {|\delta^l(z)| < 1, \ 1 \leq l \leq m}$, and prove a representation formula for it. We…

In the first part of the note we prove that a sufficient condition (due to Simons) for the convexity of the closure of the domain/range of a monotone operator is also necessary when the operator has bounded domain and is maximal. Simons'…

We consider differential operators $L$ acting on functions on a Riemannian surface, $\Sigma$, of the form $$L = \Delta + V -a K ,$$where $\Delta$ is the Laplacian of $\Sigma$, $K$ is the Gaussian curvature, $a$ is a positive constant and $V…

A connection in Kubo-Ando sense is a binary operation for positive operators on a Hilbert space satisfying the monotonicity, the transformer inequality and the continuity from above. A mean is a connection $\sigma$ such that $A \sigma A =A$…

We give a new characterization of the class of rational string functions from formal language theory using order-preserving interpretations with respect to a very weak monadic programming language. This refines the known characterization of…

In the context of global optimization of mixed-integer nonlinear optimization formulations, we consider smoothing univariate functions $f$ that satisfy $f(0)=0$, $f$ is increasing and concave on $[0,+\infty)$, $f$ is twice differentiable on…

Pseudo-differential operators of type $(1,1)$ and order $m$ are continuous from $F_p^{s+m,q}$ to $F_p^{s,q}$ if $s>d/\min{(1,p,q)}-d$ for $0<p<\infty$, and from $B_p^{s+m,q}$ to $B_{p}^{s,q}$ if $s>d/\min{(1,p)}-d$ for $0<p\leq\infty$. In…

The generalized weighted mean operator $\mathbf{M}^{g}_{w}$ is given by $$[\mathbf{M}^{g}_{w}f](x)= g^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{W(x)}\int_{0}^{x}w(t)g(f(t))\,\mathrm{d}t\right),$$ with $$W(x)=\int_{0}^{x} w(s)\,\mathrm{d}s, \quad \textrm{for} x…

A permutation \tau contains another permutation \sigma as a pattern if \tau has a subsequence whose elements are in the same order with respect to size as the elements in \sigma. This defines a partial order on the set of all permutations,…

Let $p$ be a positive number and $h$ a function on $\mathbb{R}^+$ satisfying $h(xy) \ge h(x) h(y)$ for any $x, y \in \mathbb{R}^+$. A non-negative continuous function $f$ on $K (\subset \mathbb{R}^+)$ is said to be {\it operator…

In this article, we present a new subadditivity behavior of convex and concave functions, when applied to Hilbert space operators. For example, under suitable assumptions on the spectrum of the positive operators $A$ and $B$, we prove that…

We introduce an algorithm of joint approximation of a function and its first derivative by alternative orthogonal polynomials on the interval [0,1].The algorithm exhibits properties of shape preserving approximation for the function. A weak…

In this paper we consider power means of positive Hilbert space operators both in the conventional and in the Kubo-Ando senses. We describe the corresponding isomorphisms (bijective transformations respecting those means as binary…

In this paper we introduce and study a class of structured set-valued operators which we call union averaged nonexpansive. At each point in their domain, the value of such an operator can be expressed as a finite union of single-valued…

Suppose $\sigma$ is the shift acting on Bernoulli space $X=\{0,1\}^\mathbb{N}$, and, consider a fixed function $f:X \to \mathbb{R}$, under the Waters's conditions (defined in a paper in ETDS 2007). For each real value $t\geq 0$ we consider…
