In this work we deal with set-valued functions with values in the power set of a separated locally convex space where a nontrivial pointed convex cone induces a partial order relation. A set-valued function is evenly convex if its epigraph…

The optimization problem concerning the determination of the minimizer for the sum of convex functions holds significant importance in the realm of distributed and decentralized optimization. In scenarios where full knowledge of the…

The Busemann-Petty problem asks whether symmetric convex bodies in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ with smaller central hyperplane sections necessarily have smaller volume. The solution has been completed and the answer is affirmative if…

We investigate the convexity property on $(0,1)$ of the function $$f_a(x)=\frac{{\cal K}{(\sqrt x)}}{a-(1/2)\log(1-x)}.$$ We show that $f_a$ is strictly convex on $(0,1)$ if and only if $a\geq a_c$ and $1/f_a$ is strictly convex on $(0,1)$…

We study multivariate entire functions and polynomials with non-negative coefficients. A class of {\bf Strongly Log-Concave} entire functions, generalizing {\it Minkowski} volume polynomials, is introduced: an entire function $f$ in $m$…

Let $u\not\equiv -\infty$ be a subharmonic function on the complex plane $\mathbb C$. Then for any function $r\colon\mathbb C\to (0,1]$ satisfying the condition $$\inf_{z\in\mathbb C}\frac{\ln r(z)}{\ln(2+|z|)}>-\infty,$$ there is an entire…

The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of an analytic and univalent function $f$ in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$ with the normalization $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$ is defined by $\log \frac{f(z)}{z}= 2\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}…

We study extremal properties of the function $$ F(x) := \min\{k\|x\|^{1-1/k}\colon k\ge 1\},\ x\in[0,1], $$ where $\|x\|=\min\{x,1-x\}$. In particular, we show that $F$ is the pointwise largest function of the class of all real-valued…

In this paper we extend some notions, previously defined for log-concave functions, to the larger domain of so-called {\alpha}-concave functions. We begin with a detailed discussion of support functions - first for log-concave functions,…

The section volume function $A_K(\xi,t), \ \xi \in \mathbb R^n, \ t \in \mathbb R,$ of a body $K \subset \mathbb R^n$ evaluates the $(n-1)$-dimensional volume of the cross-section $K$ by the hyperplane $\{ x \cdot \xi=t \}.$ We are…

Entropy functionals (i.e. convex integral functionals) and extensions of these functionals are minimized on convex sets. This paper is aimed at reducing as much as possible the assumptions on the constraint set. Dual equalities and…

Some theorems on convex functions are proved and an application of these theorems in the theory of weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions is investigated, too. We prove that $H_v(G)$ and $H_{v_0}(G)$ are exactly the same spaces as…

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.…

We consider regularity issues for minima of non-autonomous functionals in the Calculus of Variations exhibiting non-uniform ellipticity features. We provide a few sharp regularity results for local minimizers that also cover the case of…

A new representation is proposed for functions in a Sobolev space with dominating mixed smoothness on an $N$-dimensional hyperrectangle. In particular, it is shown that these functions can be expressed in terms of their highest-order mixed…

Let $\mathcal{S}$ denote the class of functions analytic and univalent (i.e. one-to-one) in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\, |z|<1\}$ normalized by $f(0)=0=f'(0)-1$. The logarithmic coefficients $\gamma_n$ of $f\in\mathcal{S}$…

We define covering and separation numbers for functions. We investigate their properties, and show that for some classes of functions there is exact equality of separation and covering. We provide analogues for various geometric…

Let $\es$ be the family of analytic and univalent functions $f$ in the unit disk $\D$ with the normalization $f(0)=f'(0)-1=0$, and let $\gamma_n(f)=\gamma_n$ denote the logarithmic coefficients of $f\in {\es}$. In this paper, we study…

For $S\subseteq \mathbb{F}^n$, consider the linear space of restrictions of degree-$d$ polynomials to $S$. The Hilbert function of $S$, denoted $\mathrm{h}_S(d,\mathbb{F})$, is the dimension of this space. We obtain a tight lower bound on…

In this paper, we focus on the following general shape optimization problem: $$ \min\{J(\Om), \Om convex, \Om\in\mathcal S_{ad}\}, $$ where $\mathcal S_{ad}$ is a set of 2-dimensional admissible shapes and $J:\mathcal{S}_{ad}\to\R$ is a…
