Mixed volumes, which are the polarization of volume with respect to the Minkowski addition, are fundamental objects in convexity. In this note we announce the construction of mixed integrals, which are functional analogs of mixed volumes.…
For $0<\lambda\le 1$, let $\mathcal{U}(\lambda)$ be the class analytic functions $f(z)= z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_n z^n$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ satisfying $|f'(z)(z/f(z))^2-1|<\lambda$ and $\mathcal{U}:=\mathcal{U}(1)$. In the present…
Let $n\ge1$ and $B\ge2$. A real-valued function $f$ defined on the $n$-simplex $\Delta_n$ is approximately convex with respect to $\Delta_{B-1}$ iff f(\sum_{i=1}^B t_ix_i) \le \sum_{i=1}^B t_if(x_i) +1 for all $x_1,...,x_B \in \Delta_n$ and…
Motivated by the direct method in the calculus of variations in $L^{\infty}$, our main result identifies the notion of convexity characterizing the weakly$^*$ lower semicontinuity of nonlocal supremal functionals: Cartesian level convexity.…
If $\phi$ is an analytic selfmap of the disk (not an elliptic automorphism) the Denjoy-Wolff Theorem predicts the existence of a point $p$ with $|p|\leq 1$ such that the iterates $\phi_{n}$ converge to $p$ uniformly on compact subsets of…
We consider the problem of estimating smooth integrated functionals of a monotone nonincreasing density $f$ on $[0,\infty)$ using the nonparametric maximum likelihood based plug-in estimator. We find the exact asymptotic distribution of…
We give a quantitative version of a result due to N. Katz about L-functions of elliptic curves over function fields over finite fields. Roughly speaking, Katz's Theorem states that, on average over a suitably chosen algebraic family, the…
We consider nonconvex real valued functions whose truncations are either quasiconvex or even convex starting with a certain level. Among them, the $C^2$-smooth functions whose level sets are all completely contained in the positive definite…
The aim of this paper is to put the fundations of a new theory of functions, called holomorphic Cliffordian, which should play an essential role in the generalization of holomorphic functions to higher dimensions. Let R\_{0,2m+1} be the…
We propose a homogenized supremal functional rigorously derived via $L^p$-approximation by functionals of the type $\underset{x\in\Omega}{\mbox{ess-sup}}\hspace{0.03cm} f\left(\frac{x}{\varepsilon}, Du\right)$, when $\Omega$ is a bounded…
A new classification of real functions and other related real objects defined within a compact interval is proposed. The scope of the classification includes normal real functions and distributions in the sense of Schwartz, referred to…
We prove a compact embedding theorem in a class of spaces of piecewise H1 functions subordinated to a class of shape regular, but not necessarily quasi-uniform triangulations of a polygonal domain. This result generalizes the…
We introduce a class $\Lambda_{s}$ of functions with complicated local structure. Any function from the class belongs to one of three specifically defined types $f^s _k$, $f_+$, and $f^{-1} _+$ or is a specifically defined composition of…
A Minkowski symmetral of an $\alpha$-concave function is introduced, and some of its fundamental properties are derived. It is shown that for a given $\alpha$-concave function, there exists a sequence of Minkowski symmetrizations that…
We study properties of ridge functions $f(x)=g(a\cdot x)$ in high dimensions $d$ from the viewpoint of approximation theory. The considered function classes consist of ridge functions such that the profile $g$ is a member of a univariate…
We study the frequency function (introduced by Temur) in both the discrete and continuous settings. More precisely, we extend the definition of the frequency function to the higher-dimensional continuous setting and to the uncentered…
We prove that the smallest minimizer s(f) of a real convex function f is less than or equal to a real point x if and only if the right derivative of f at x is non-negative. Similarly, the largest minimizer t(f) is greater or equal to x if…
In this paper we prove different functional inequalities extending the classical Rogers-Shephard inequalities for convex bodies. The original inequalities provide an optimal relation between the volume of a convex body and the volume of…
We introduce the class of \emph{Log-Noetherian} (LN) functions. These are holomorphic solutions to algebraic differential equations (in several variables) with logarithmic singularities. We prove an upper bound on the number of solutions…
We give a variety of uniqueness results for minimal ellipsoids circumscribing and maximal ellipsoids inscribed into a convex body. Uniqueness follows from a convexity or concavity criterion on the function used to measure the size of the…
