An optimal control problem on finite-dimensional positive cones is stated. Under a critical assumption on the cone, the corresponding Bellman equation is satisfied by a linear function, which can be computed by convex optimization. A…

This paper is devoted to the general problem of projection onto a polyhedral convex cone generated by a finite set of generators.This problem is reformulated into projection onto the polytope obtained by simple truncation of the original…

Convex support, the mean values of a set of random variables, is central in information theory and statistics. Equally central in quantum information theory are mean values of a set of observables in a finite-dimensional C*-algebra A, which…

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…

We investigate a convexity properties for normalized log moment generating function continuing a recent investigation of Chen of convex images of Gaussians. We show that any variable satisfying a ``Ehrhard-like'' property for its…

We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…

The class of convex sets that admit approximations as Minkowski sum of a compact convex set and a closed convex cone in the Hausdorff distance is introduced. These sets are called approximately Motzkin-decomposable and generalize the notion…

There is a hierarchy of structure conditions for convex sets. In this paper we study a recently defined [3, 8, 9] condition called locally nonconical convexity (abbreviated LNC). Is is easy to show that every strictly convex set is LNC, as…

Solving a long-standing open question in convex geometry, we will show that typical convex surfaces contain points of infinite curvature in all tangent directions. To prove this, we use an easy curvature definition imitating the idea of…

Peter McMullen has developed a theory of realizations of abstract regular polytopes, and has shown that the realizations up to congruence form a pointed convex cone which is the direct product of certain irreducible subcones. We show that…

We consider generalized inverses of linear operators on arbitrary vector spaces and study the question when their product in reverse order is again a generalized inverse. This problem is equivalent to the question when the product of two…

Farkas' lemma is an ubiquitous tool in optimisation, as it provides necessary and sufficient conditions to have $b \in A(P)$, where $P$ is a closed convex cone, $A$ is a (continuous) linear mapping and $b$ is a fixed vector. The standard…

Inspired by the quantitative $K$-theory, in this paper, we introduce the coarse Baum-Connes conjecture with filtered coefficients which generalizes the original conjecture. There are two advantages for the conjecture with filtered…

Given any finite set of nonnegative integers, there exists a closed convex set whose facial dimension signature coincides with this set of integers, that is, the dimensions of its nonempty faces comprise exactly this set of integers. In…

The theory of analytic function spaces in very general tubular domains over symmetric cones is a relatively new interesting research area. Tube domains are very general and very complicated domains. Recently several new results in this…

We provide extensions of geometric inequalities about sections and projections of convex bodies to the setting of integrable log-concave functions. Namely, we consider suitable generalizations of the affine and dual affine quermassintegrals…

In this paper we establish a general framework in which the verification of support theorems for generalized convex functions acting between an algebraic structure and an ordered algebraic structure is still possible. As for the domain…

We consider the optimal containment of polygonal regions within convex containers with the special property of 'orientedness' - an oriented region enables us to choose a preferred direction on the plane (this direction is not necessarily an…

Based on the Archimedeanization developed by Paulsen and Tomforde, we give an explicit description for the positive cones of maximal tensor products of function systems. From this description, we obtain an approximation theorem for nuclear…

It is well known that the cohomology of a tensor product is essentially the tensor product of the cohomologies. We look at twisted tensor products, and investigate to which extend this is still true. We give an explicit description of the…
