Consider a convex set S defined by a matrix inequality of polynomials or rational functions over a domain. The set S is called semidefinite programming (SDP) representable or just semidefinite representable if it equals the projection of a…
Integrally convex functions constitute a fundamental function class in discrete convex analysis, including M-convex functions, L-convex functions, and many others. This paper aims at a rather comprehensive survey of recent results on…
We show how to infer sharp partial regularity results for relaxed minimizers of degenerate, nonuniformly elliptic quasiconvex functionals, using tools from Nonlinear Potential Theory. In particular, in the setting of functionals with…
We study a new class of functions that arise naturally in quaternionic analysis, we call them "quasi regular functions". Like the well-known quaternionic regular functions, these functions provide representations of the quaternionic…
Let $X\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex closed and semialgebraic set and let $f$ be a polynomial positive on $X$. We prove that there exists an exponent $N\geq 1$, such that for any $\xi\in\mathbb{R}^n$ the function…
Call a noncommutative rational function $r$ regular if it has no singularities, i.e., $r(X)$ is defined for all tuples of self-adjoint matrices $X$. In this article regular noncommutative rational functions $r$ are characterized via the…
Consider the algebra Q<<x_1,x_2,...>> of formal power series in countably many noncommuting variables over the rationals. The subalgebra Pi(x_1,x_2,...) of symmetric functions in noncommuting variables consists of all elements invariant…
In this present investigation, we found a set of sufficient conditions to be imposed on the parameters of the Fox H-functions which allow us to conclude that it is non-negative. As applications, various new facts regarding the Fox-Wright…
Tame functions are a class of nonsmooth, nonconvex functions, which feature in a wide range of applications: functions encountered in the training of deep neural networks with all common activations, value functions of mixed-integer…
Multimodular functions, primarily used in the literature of queueing theory, discrete-event systems, and operations research, constitute a fundamental function class in discrete convex analysis. The objective of this paper is to clarify the…
The probability content of a convex polyhedron with a multivariate normal distribution can be regarded as a real analytic function. We give a system of linear partial differential equations with polynomial coefficients for the function and…
A multivariate polynomial $p(x)=p(x_1,...,x_n)$ is sos-convex if its Hessian $H(x)$ can be factored as $H(x)= M^T(x) M(x)$ with a possibly nonsquare polynomial matrix $M(x)$. It is easy to see that sos-convexity is a sufficient condition…
New sharp affine isoperimetric inequalities for volume decomposition functionals $X_{2}$ and $X_{3}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are established. To fulfil this task, we prove the recursion formulas for volume decomposition functionals and find out…
Positive real odd matrix functions, often referred to as positive real lossless matrix functions, play an important role in many applications in multi-port electrical systems. In this paper we present closer analogues to some of the known…
The notion of symmetry in polynomial rings with several indeterminates is generalized to polynomial rings over finite fields. Families of extensions of the projective line over a finite field of constants possessing this property are…
Aubry-Mather is traditionally concerned with Tonelli Hamiltonian (convex and super-linear). In \cite{Vi,MVZ}, Mather's $\alpha$ function is recovered from the homogenization of symplectic capacities. This allows the authors to extend the…
This paper is about a family of symmetric rational functions that form a one-parameter generalization of the classical Hall-Littlewood polynomials. We introduce two sets of (skew and non-skew) functions that are akin to P and Q…
We study a special class of non-convex functions which appear in nonlinear elasticity; and we prove that they have well-defined Legandre transforms. Several examples are given, and an application to a nonlinear eigenvalue problem
We introduce the notion of "quasi-symmetric" polynomials, which is a generalization of the notion of symmetry, and is particularly suited to the setting of polynomial rings over finite fields. The properties of this new class of functions…
A novel basis of discrete analytic polynomials on a rhombic lattice is introduced and the associated convolution product is studied. A class of discrete analytic functions that are rational with respect to this product is also described.
