We consider the problem of obtaining interpolation constraints for function classes, i.e., necessary and sufficient constraints that a set of points, function values and (sub)gradients must satisfy to ensure the existence of a global…

Some properties of solutions of convex sweeping processes with velocity constraints are studied in this paper. Namely, the solution sensitivity with respect to the initial value, the boundedness, the closedness, and the convexity of the…

We show that absolutely minimizing functions relative to a convex Hamiltonian $H:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$ are uniquely determined by their boundary values under minimal assumptions on $H.$ Along the way, we extend the known equivalences…

Approximations of functions with finite data often do not respect certain "structural" properties of the functions. For example, if a given function is non-negative, a polynomial approximation of the function is not necessarily also…

Vogt's theorem, concerning boundary angles of a convex arc with monotonic curvature (spiral arc), is taken as a starting point to establish basic properties of spirals. The theorem is expanded by removing requirements of convexity and…

We give an elementary proof of a somewhat curious result, namely, that deciding whether a convex function is self-concordant is in general an intractable problem.
