This is a survey of a new type of relativistic space-time framework; the so-called quasi-metric framework. The basic geometric structure underlying quasi-metric relativity is quasi-metric space-time; this is defined as a 4-dimensional…
Suppose that $X$ and $Y$ are quasiconvex and complete metric spaces, that $G\subset X$ and $G'\subset Y$ are domains, and that $f: G\to G'$ is a homeomorphism. Our main result is the following subinvariance property of the class of uniform…
We obtain new inequalities for certain hypergeometric functions. Using these inequalities, we deduce estimates for the hyperbolic metric and the induced distance function on a certain canonical hyperbolic plane domain.
We construct a class of real-valued nonnegative binary functions on a set of jointly distributed random variables, which satisfy the triangle inequality and vanish at identical arguments (pseudo-quasi-metrics). These functions are useful in…
In 2017 M. Bessenyei and Z. P\'ales introduced a definition of a triangle function which generates a concept of a generalized triangle inequality in semimetric spaces. Inspired by this concept we discuss already known inequalities in metric…
In this paper we consider basic hypergeometric functions introduced by Heine. We study mapping properties of certain ratios of basic hypergeometric functions having shifted parameters and show that they map the domains of analyticity onto…
We discuss the properties of the Wu pseudometric and present counterexamples for its upper semicontinuity that answers the question posed by Jarnicki and Pflug. We also give formulae for the Wu pseudometric in elementary Reinhardt domains.
Investigation of the generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions containing two parameters has been a very active research area over the last decade. We believe, however, that their monotonicity and convexity properties with respect…
This is an essay on potential theory for geometric plurisubharmonic functions. It begins with a given closed subset G of the Grassmann bundle $G(p,TX)$ of tangent $p$-planes to a riemannian manifold $X$. This determines a nonlinear partial…
The g-convexity of functions on manifolds is a generalization of the convexity of functions on Rn. It plays an essential role in both differential geometry and non-convex optimization theory. This paper is concerned with g-convex smooth…
This survey studies pairs $(G,\mathcal{P})$ with $G$ a finitely generated group and $\mathcal{P}$ a (finite) collection of subgroups of $G$. We explore the notion of quasi-isometry of such pairs and the notion of a qi-characteristic…
We introduce a framework for quasi-Newton forward--backward splitting algorithms (proximal quasi-Newton methods) with a metric induced by diagonal $\pm$ rank-$r$ symmetric positive definite matrices. This special type of metric allows for a…
Uniformly quasiconformally homogeneous domains in $\mathbb{R}^n$ carry a transitive collection of $K$-quasiconformal maps for a fixed $K\geq 1.$ In this paper, we study two questions in this setting. The first is to show that…
The authors define a class of functions on Riemannian manifolds, which is called geodesic semilocal E-preinvex functions, as a generalization of geodesic semilocal E-convex and geodesic semi E-preinvex functions and some of its properties…
Motivated by recent applications to entropy theory in dynamical systems, we generalise notions introduced by Matthews and define weakly weighted and componentwisely weakly weighted (generalised) quasi-metrics. We then systematise and extend…
S-metric and b-metric spaces are metrizable, but it is still quite impossible to get an explicit form of the concerned metric function. To overcome this, the notion of $\phi$-metric is developed by making a suitable modification in triangle…
The current paper deals with some new classes of Finsler metrics with reversible geodesics. We construct weighted quasi-metrics associated with these metrics. Further, we investigate some important geometric properties of weighted…
Convex functions have played a major role in the field of Mathematical inequalities. In this paper, we introduce a new concept related to convexity, which proves better estimates when the function is somehow more convex than another. In…
We show that the visual angle metric and the triangular ratio metric are comparable in convex domains. We also find the extremal points for the visual angle metric in the half space and in the ball by use of a construction based on…
In this article, we study the geodesic problem in a generalized metric space, in which the distance function satisfies a relaxed triangle inequality $d(x,y)\leq \sigma (d(x,z)+d(z,y))$ for some constant $\sigma \geq 1$, rather than the…
