A complete classification of unimodular valuations on the set of lattice polygons with values in the spaces of polynomials and formal power series, respectively, is established. The valuations are classified in terms of their behaviour with…
The projection onto the epigraph or a level set of a closed proper convex function can be achieved by finding a root of a scalar equation that involves the proximal operator as a function of the proximal parameter. This paper develops the…
Over the past years a theory of conjugate duality for set-valued functions that map into the set of upper closed subsets of a preordered topological vector space was developed. For scalar duality theory, continuity of convex functions plays…
Discrete convex functions are used in many areas, including operations research, discrete-event systems, game theory, and economics. The objective of this paper is to offer a survey on fundamental operations for various kinds of discrete…
Hadwiger's Theorem states that Euclidean-invariant convex-continuous valuations of definable sets are linear combinations of intrinsic volumes. We lift this result from sets to data distributions over sets, specifically, to definable…
Extended real-valued functions are often used in optimization theory, but in different ways for infimum problems and for supremum problems. We present an approach to extended real-valued functions that works for all types of problems and…
Alesker's theory of generalized valuations unifies smooth measures and constructible functions on real analytic manifolds, extending classical operations on functions and measures. Alesker showed that these operations agree with the…
Translation-invariant valuations on the space $L^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n)$ are examined. We prove that such functionals vanish on functions with compact support. Moreover a rich family of non-trivial translation-invariant valuations on…
This paper studies the convexity properties of nonsmooth extended-real-valued weakly convex functions, a class of functions that is central to modern optimization and its applications. We establish new characterizations of convexity using…
The present note is a corrigendum to the paper "On Smooth extensions of vector-valued functions defined on closed subsets of Banach spaces" [Math. Ann. (2013) 355: 1201--1219].
We provide a new proof of Alesker's Irreducibility Theorem. We first introduce a new localization technique for polynomial valuations on convex bodies, which we use to independently prove that smooth and translation invariant valuations are…
A convolution representation of continuous translation invariant and SO(n) equivariant Minkowski valuations is established. This is based on a new classification of translation invariant generalized spherical valuations. As applications,…
There exist two major subclasses in the class of superquadratic functions, one comprises concave and decreasing functions, while the other consists of convex and monotone increasing functions. Leveraging this distinction, we introduce…
Let $\mathrm{SO}^+(p,q)$ denote the identity connected component of the real orthogonal group with signature $(p,q)$. We give a complete description of the spaces of continuous and generalized translation- and $\mathrm{SO}^+(p,q)$-invariant…
A complete classification is established for continuous and SL(n) covariant matrix-valued valuations on Lp(Rn,|x|2dx). The assumption of matrix symmetry is eliminated. For n>2, such valuation is uniquely characterized by the moment matrix…
We obtain a standard local presentation for a vector-valued multisymplectic form on a smooth manifold, generalizing the known proof for polysymplectic forms. We show that vector-valued multisymplectic forms on a finite-dimensional real…
We investigate functionals defined on manifolds through parameterizations. If they are to be meaningful, from a geometrical viewpoint, they ought to be invariant under reparameterizations. Standard, local, integral functionals with this…
This article characterizes conjugates and subdifferentials of convex integral functionals over linear spaces of cadlag stochastic processes. The approach is based on new measurability results on the Skorokhod space and new interchange rules…
We develop the basic theory of smooth representations of locally compact groups on bornological vector spaces. In this setup, we are able to formulate better general theorems than in the topological case. Still, smooth representations of…
We study the properties of the multiplicative structure on valuations on convex sets. We prove a new version of the hard Lefschetz theorem for even translation invariant continuous valuations, and discuss related problems of integral…
