We prove various results in infinite-dimensional differential calculus which relate differentiability properties of functions and associated operator-valued functions (e.g., differentials). The results are applied in two areas: 1. in the…
Functional analogs of the Euler characteristic and volume together with a new analog of the polar volume are characterized as non-negative, continuous, $\operatorname{SL}(n)$ and translation invariant valuations on the space of finite,…
We show that a differentiable function on the 2-Wasserstein space is geodesically convex if and only if it is also convex along a larger class of curves which we call `acceleration-free'. In particular, the set of acceleration-free curves…
A function in a class $\mathcal{F}(X)$ is said to be subdifferentially determined in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ if it is equal up to an additive constant to any function in $\mathcal{F}(X)$ with the same subdifferential. A function is said to be…
A real vector space combined with an inverse for vectors is sufficient to define a vector continued fraction whose parameters consist of vector shifts and changes of scale. The choice of sign for different components of the vector inverse…
We discuss the following question: For a function f of two or more variables which is convex in the directions of coordinate axes, how can its trace g(x) = f(x, x, ..., x) look like? In the two-dimensional case, we provide some necessary…
In this paper some concepts of convex analysis on hyperbolic space are studied. We first study properties of the intrinsic distance, for instance, we present the spectral decomposition of its Hessian. Next, we study the concept of convex…
We establish a connection between dependence structures and subclasses of distortion riskmetrics under which the latter are additive. A new notion of positive dependence, called partial comonotonicity, is developed, which nests the existing…
In this work, the notions of normal cones at infinity to unbounded sets and limiting and singular subdifferentials at infinity for extended real value functions are introduced. Various calculus rules for these notions objects are…
In this short note, we prove that all geodesically convex functions defined on a Riemannian manifold are continuous in the interior of their domain. This is a folklore result, but to the best of our knowledge, there is only one available…
A general form of the covariance matrix function is derived in this paper for a vector random field that is isotropic and mean square continuous on a compact connected two-point homogeneous space and stationary on a temporal domain. A…
This paper provides an unique dual representation of set-valued lower semi-continuous quasiconvex and convex functions. The results are based on a duality result for increasing set valued functions.
The paper is devoted to the study, characterizations, and applications of variational convexity of functions, the property that has been recently introduced by Rockafellar together with its strong counterpart. First we show that these…
A wedge (i.e., a closed nonempty set in the Euclidean space stable under addition and multiplication with non-negative scalars) induces by a standard way a semi-order (a reflexive and transitive binary relation) in the space. The wedges…
In functional analysis it is well known that every linear functional defined on the dual of a locally convex vector space which is continuous for the weak topology is the evaluation at a uniquely determined point of the given vector space.…
In this work, we discuss the continuity of $h$-convex functions by introducing the concepts of $h$-convex curves ($h$-cord). Geometric interpretation of $h$-convexity is given. The fact that for a $h$-continuous function $f$, is being…
In this paper, we show that a pointwise-symmetric isotonic closure function is uniquely determined by the pairs of sets it separates. We then show that when the closure function of the domain is isotonic and the closure function of the…
We classify all continuous valuations on the space of finite convex functions with values in the same space which are dually epi-translation-invariant and equi- resp. contravariant with respect to volume-preserving linear maps. We thereby…
We define the concept of continuum wise expansive for set-valued functions and prove that if a compact metric space admit a set-valued $cw$-expansive function then the topological entropy of $X$ is positive.} We also introduce the notion of…
The characteristic function of row contractions and liftings of row contractions are complete invariants up to unitary equivalence for row contractions and liftings of row contractions, respectively. We provide alternate proofs for these…
