The {\it two-fold singularity} has played a significant role in our understanding of uniqueness and stability in piecewise smooth dynamical systems. When a vector field is discontinuous at some hypersurface, it can become tangent to that…
The main goal of this paper is to construct the so-called Birkhoff-type solutions for linear ordinary differential equations with a spectral parameter. Such solutions play an important role in direct and inverse problems of spectral theory.…
In this article, we further explore convex functions by revealing new bounds, resulting from stronger convexity behavior. In particular, we define the so called radical convex functions and study their properties. We will see that such…

We investigate several instances of the Hadamard inequality in the mean in two dimensions. As a consequence, we prove the uniqueness of minimizers of an integral functional with a polyconvex integrand, subject to mixed Dirichlet and Neumann…
In this paper, we consider a new class of convex functions which is called $\lambda$-preinvex functions. We prove several Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities for differentiable $\lambda$-preinvex functions via Fractional Integrals. Some…
A number of results related to statistical classification on convex sets are presented. In particular, the focus is on the case where some of the covariates in the data and observation being classified can be missing. The form of the…
The phenomenon of convection is found in a wide variety of settings on different scales -- from applications in the cooling technology of laptops to heating water on a stove, and from the movement of ocean currents to describing…
In this paper, we present sufficient conditions ensuring that the sum of the image of quadratic functions and the nonnegative orthant is convex. The hidden convexity of the trust-region problem with linear inequality constraints is…
In the past decade, we had developed a series of splitting contraction algorithms for separable convex optimization problems, at the root of the alternating direction method of multipliers. Convergence of these algorithms was studied under…
Molecular dynamics simulation has been used to model pattern formation in three-dimensional Rayleigh--Benard convection at the discrete-particle level. Two examples are considered, one in which an almost perfect array of hexagonally-shaped…
We derive a convex optimization problem for the task of segmenting sequential data, which explicitly treats presence of outliers. We describe two algorithms for solving this problem, one exact and one a top-down novel approach, and we…
We say that a subset of C^n is hypoconvex if its complement is the union of complex hyperplanes. Let D be the closed unit disk in C, T the unit circle. We prove two conjectures of Helton and Marshall. (See ``Frequency domain design and…
In this paper we settle the two-dimensional case of a conjecture involving unknown semialgebraic functions with specified smoothness. More precisely, we prove the following result: Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a semialgebraic bundle with respect to…
We introduce a new functional, named gap function, which measures the torsional instability of a partially hinged rectangular plate, aiming to model the deck of a bridge. Then we test the performances of the gap function on a plate subject…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we study a class of Banach manifolds which are not differentiable in traditional sense but they are quasi-differentiable in the sense that a such Banach manifold has an embedded submanifold such…
The aim of this note is to present two results that make the task of finding equivalent polyhedral norms on certain Banach spaces, having either a Schauder basis or an uncountable unconditional basis, easier and more transparent. The…
Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…

In a recent paper [9], Ozdemir, Tunc and Akdemir defined two new classes of convex functions with which they proved some Hermite-Hadamard type inequalities. As an Open problem, they asked for conditions under which the composition of two…
