We prove a Fourier restriction estimate under the assumption that certain convolution power of the measure admits an $r$-integrable density.
We prove that if $u:\mathbb{R}^n\to\mathbb{R}$ is strongly convex, then for every $\varepsilon>0$ there is a strongly convex function $v\in C^2(\mathbb{R}^n)$ such that $|\{u\neq v\}|<\varepsilon$ and $\Vert u-v\Vert_\infty<\varepsilon$.
Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be two non-degenerate finite signed Borel measures defined on a proper convex cone of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We prove that if all convolution powers of $\mu$ and $\nu$ are appropriately equal (and non-zero) on a proper concave…

We provide three new proofs of the strong concavity of the dual function of some convex optimization problems. For problems with nonlinear constraints, we show that the the assumption of strong convexity of the objective cannot be weakened…
An exact representation of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula as a power series in just one of the two variables is constructed. Closed form coefficients of this series are found in terms of hyperbolic functions, which contain all of the…
We introduce a new notion of influence for symmetric convex sets over Gaussian space, which we term "convex influence". We show that this new notion of influence shares many of the familiar properties of influences of variables for monotone…
The convolution of a function with an isotropic Gaussian appears in many contexts such as differential equations, computer vision, signal processing, and numerical optimization. Although this convolution does not always have a closed form…
It is well-known that the cross covariogram of two convex bodies in n dimensions is 1/n-concave on its support. This paper provides conditions for strict 1/n-concavity in dimension n>1, and an analysis of how it can fail. Among the…
Existence of an increasing quasi-concave value function consistent with given preference information is an important issue in various fields including Economics, Multiple Criteria Decision Making, and Applied Mathematics. In this paper, we…
We prove upper and lower bounds for a variational functional for convex functions satisfying certain boundary conditions on a sector of the unit ball in two dimensions. The functional contains two terms: The full Hessian and its…
We study the absolute continuity of the convolution $\delta_{e^X}^\natural \star \delta_{e^Y}^\natural$ of two orbital measures on the symmetric space $SO_0(p,q)/SO(p)\timesSO(q)$, $q>p$. We prove sharp conditions on $X$, $Y\in\a$ for the…
We analyze matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined on a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus. We obtain for each order conditions for matrix…
We study the geodesic convexity of various energy and entropy functionals restricted to (non-geodesically convex) submanifolds of Wasserstein spaces with their induced geometry. We prove a variety of convexity results by means of a simple…
In this note we provide a full conjugacy and subdifferential calculus for convex convex-composite functions in finite-dimensional space. Our approach, based on infimal convolution and cone-convexity, is straightforward and yields the…
Isotropic positive definite functions on spheres play important roles in spatial statistics, where they occur as the correlation functions of homogeneous random fields and star-shaped random particles. In approximation theory, strictly…
In this paper we consider Positive Definite functions on products $\Omega_{2q}\times\Omega_{2p}$ of complex spheres, and we obtain a condition, in terms of the coefficients in their disc polynomial expansions, which is necessary and…
Wave equations for some curved spacetimes may involve functions that prevent a solution in a closed form. In some cases, these functions can be eliminated by transformations and the solutions can be found analytically. In the cases where…
In this paper we associate with an infinite family of real extended functions defined on a locally convex space, a sum, called robust sum, which is always well-defined. We also associate with that family of functions a dual pair of problems…
An inequality for the $p$th power of the norm of a stochastic convolution integral in a Hilbert space is proved. The inequality is stronger than analogues inequalities in the Literature in the sense that it is pathwise and not in…
