We consider the problem of determining the number of distinct distances between two point sets in $\mathbb{R}^2$ where one point set $\mathcal{P}_1$ of size $m$ lies on a real algebraic curve of fixed degree $r$, and the other point set…
Dual feasible functions (DFFs) have been used to provide bounds for standard packing problems and valid inequalities for integer optimization problems. In this paper, the connection between general DFFs and a particular family of…
Statistical distances quantifies the difference between two statistical constructs. In this article, we describe reference values for a distance between samples derived from the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic $D_{F,F'}$. Each measure of the…
We introduce the concept of F-decomposable systems, well-ordered inverse systems of Hausdorff compacta with fully closed bonding mappings. A continuous mapping between Hausdorff compacta is called fully closed if the intersection of the…
Let $E\subset \mathbb R^n$, $n\ge 2$, be a set of finite perimeter with $|E|=|B|$, where $B$ denotes the unit ball. When $n=2$, since convexification decreases perimeter (in the class of open connected sets), it is easy to prove the…
A Daniell-Stone type characterization theorem for Aumann integrals of set-valued measurable functions will be proven. It is assumed that the values of these functions are closed convex upper sets, a structure that has been used in some…
This paper presents a general study of one-dimensional differentiability for functionals defined on convex domains that are not necessarily open. The local approximation is carried out using affine functionals, as opposed to linear…
Let $(X,d,\mu)$ be a space of homogeneous type. In this note we study the relationship between two types of $s$-sets: relative to a distance and relative to a measure. We find a condition on a closed subset $F$ of $X$ under which we have…
Extrinsic and intrinsic characterizations are given for the class DSC(K) of differences of semi-continuous functions on a Polish space K, and also decomposition characterizations of DSC(K) and the class PS(K) of pointwise stabilizing…
Consider a differentiable convex function $f: \mathbb{R}^n \supset \mathrm{dom} f \rightarrow \mathbb{R}.$ The induced spectral function $F$ is given by $F=f \circ \lambda,$ where $\lambda: \mathbf{M}_n^{sa} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{n}$ is…
Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…
A distance-squared function is one of the most significant functions in the application of singularity theory to differential geometry. In this paper, we define naturally extended mappings of distance-squared functions, wherein each…
A distance mean function measures the average distance of points from the elements of a given set of points (focal set) in the space. The level sets of a distance mean function are called generalized conics. In case of infinite focal points…
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…
We consider the number of distinct distances between two finite sets of points in ${\bf R}^k$, for any constant dimension $k\ge 2$, where one set $P_1$ consists of $n$ points on a line $l$, and the other set $P_2$ consists of $m$ arbitrary…
In this article we show the following result: if $C$ is an $n$-dimensional convex and compact subset, $f:C\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ is concave, and $\phi:[0,\infty)\rightarrow[0,\infty)$ is a convex function with $\phi(0)=0$, we then…
On a complete, connected, locally compact, non-compact geodesic space $(X,d)$, we assign each compact set a distance-like function. With the help of these functions, we obtain a pseudo-metric on the space of (non-empty) compact subsets of…
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a difference of convex (DC, for short) functions, defined on a locally convex space, to be Lipschitz continuous. Our criterion relies on the intersections of the "epsilon-subdifferentials of…
In this paper, we unify and improve existing results on characterizing strict and almost stricty convex functions via subdifferential mapping, Moreau envelope, and proximal mappings. In particular, it is shown that if a convex function is…
We study separating function sets. We find some necessary and sufficient conditions for $C_p(X)$ or $C_p^2(X)$ to have a point-separating subspace that is a metric space with certain nice properties. One of the corollaries to our discussion…
