We define w-invex set, w-preinvex, w-strictly preinvex, w-quasi preinvex, w-strictly quasi preinvex, w-semi-strictly quasi preinvex, and w-pre pseudo-invex functions in this context. And these form a class of real functions, which is the…

We present an intrinsic metric that quantifies distances between power spectral density functions. The metric was derived by the author in a recent arXiv-report (math.OC/0607026) as the geodesic distance between spectral density functions…

In this paper we investigate the property of engulfing for $H$-convex functions defined on the Heisenberg group ${\mathbb{H}}^n$. Starting from the horizontal sections introduced by Capogna and Maldonado, we consider a new notion of…

To every subspace arrangement X we will associate symmetric functions P[X] and H[X]. These symmetric functions encode the Hilbert series and the minimal projective resolution of the product ideal associated to the subspace arrangement. They…

We introduce the set of quasi-Herglotz functions and demonstrate that it has properties useful in the modeling of non-passive systems. The linear space of quasi-Herglotz functions constitutes a natural extension of the convex cone of…

The concept of a quasi-metric space arises by relaxing the requirement of the symmetry axiom in the definition of a metric. This small variation alters several structural properties possessed by a standard metric space. This article aims to…

A class of real functions, which is the generalization of a family of convex functions, is introduced; in this connection, we have defined $X$-convex, strictly $X$-convex, quasi-$X$-convex, strictly quasi-$X$-convex, and semi-strictly…

In this paper, we introduce the concept of nearly convex set-valued mappings and investigate fundamental properties of these mappings. Additionally, we establish a geometric approach for generalized differentiation of nearly convex…

We introduce two kinds of quasi-inner functions. Since every rationally invariant subspace for a shift operator $S_K$ on a vector-valued Hardy space $H^{2}(\Omega,K)$ is generated by a quasi-inner function, we also provide relationships of…

The phenomenon of concentration of measure on high dimensional structures is usually stated in terms of a metric space with a Borel measure, also called an mm-space. We extend some of the mm-space concepts to the setting of a quasi-metric…

One way to interpret smoothness of a measure in infinite dimensions is quasi-invariance of the measure under a class of transformations. Usually such settings lack a reference measure such as the Lebesgue or Haar measure, and therefore we…

We will consider inclusion of metric balls defined by the quasihyperbolic, the $j$-metric and the chordal metric. The quasihyperbolic metric and the $j$-metric are considered in general subdomains of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and in some particular…

For every proper geodesic space $X$ we introduce its quasi-geometric boundary $\partial_{QG}X$ with the following properties: 1. Every geodesic ray $g$ in $X$ converges to a point of the boundary $\partial_{QG}X$ and for every point $p$ in…

Correlation matrices are used in many domains of neurosciences such as fMRI, EEG, MEG. However, statistical analyses often rely on embeddings into a Euclidean space or into Symmetric Positive Definite matrices which do not provide intrinsic…

The concept of quasi-partial b-metric-like spaces is being introduced and studied with the help of topology. Examples are also discussed to support the results. Some fixed point theorems are proved in the setting of quasi-partial…

This paper introduces a new metric and mean on the set of positive semidefinite matrices of fixed-rank. The proposed metric is derived from a well-chosen Riemannian quotient geometry that generalizes the reductive geometry of the positive…

Let $D\subsetneq\mathbb{R}^n,~n\ge 2$, be a domain. In this manuscript, a new version of the Vuorinen's distance ratio metric $j_D$ [{\tt J. Analyse Math.} {\bf 45} (1985), 69--115], denoted by $\zeta_D$, and a version of Gehring-Osgood's…

Three hyperbolic type metrics including the triangular ratio metric, the $j^*$-metric and the M\"obius metric are studied in an annular ring. The Euclidean midpoint rotation is introduced as a method to create upper and lower bounds for…

We introduce a new class of quasi-Banach spaces as an extension of the classical Grand Lebesgue Spaces for small values of the parameter, and we investigate some its properties, in particular, completeness, fundamental function, operators…

Given a "Green function" $G$ on a locally compact space $X$ with countable base, a Borel set $A$ in $X$ is called $G$-semipolar, if there is no measure $\nu\ne 0$ supported by $A$ such that $G\nu:=\int G(\cdot,y)\,d\nu(y)$ is a continuous…
