We prove curvature estimates for general curvature functions. As an application we show the existence of closed, strictly convex hypersurfaces with prescribed curvature $F$, where the defining cone of $F$ is $\C_+$. $F$ is only assumed to…

We identity the optimal non-infinitesimal direction of descent for a convex function. An algorithm is developed that can theoretically minimize a subset of (non-convex) functions.

This paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for a real-valued function defined on an open and convex subset of a Banach space to be quasi-concave, and a sufficient condition for such a function to be strictly quasi-concave.…

We study two notions of approximate Birkhoff-James orthogonality in a normed space, from a geometric point of view, and characterize them in terms of normal cones. We further explore the interconnection between normal cones and approximate…

We study the boundary structure of closed convex cones, with a focus on facially dual complete (nice) cones. These cones form a proper subset of facially exposed convex cones, and they behave well in the context of duality theory for convex…

The Fenchel-Young inequality is fundamental in Convex Analysis and Optimization. It states that the difference between certain function values of two vectors and their inner product is nonnegative. Recently, Carlier introduced a very nice…

We analyze matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined on a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus. We obtain for each order conditions for matrix…

We first study Clarke's tangent cones at infinity to unbounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n.$ We prove that these cones are closed convex and show a characterization of their interiors. We then study subgradients at infinity for extended real…

It is well-known that every convex function admits an affine support at every interior point of a domain. Convex functions of higher order (precisely of an odd order) have a similar property: they are supported by the polynomials of degree…

We classify all functions which, when applied term by term, leave invariant the sequences of moments of positive measures on the real line. Rather unexpectedly, these functions are built of absolutely monotonic components, or reflections of…

We consider a smooth semiflow strongly focusing monotone with respect to a cone of rank k on a Banach space. We obtain its generic dynamics, that is, semiorbits with initial data from an open and dense subset of any bounded open set are…

In this paper we give a characterization of all order isomorphisms on some classes of convex functions. We deal with the class $Cvx(K)$ consisting of lower-semi-continuous convex functions defined on a convex set $K$, and its subclass…

In the present paper, the following convexity principle is proved: any closed convex multifunction, which is metrically regular in a certain uniform sense near a given point, carries small balls centered at that point to convex sets, even…

For a given polyhedral convex set-valued mapping we define a polyhedral convex cone which we call the natural ordering cone. We show that the solution behavior of a polyhedral convex set optimization problem can be characterized by this…

Let $n \in \N$ and $M_n$ be the algebra of $n \times n$ matrices. We call a function $f$ matrix monotone of order $n$ or $n$-monotone in short whenever the inequality $f(a) \leq f(b)$ holds for every pair of selfadjoint matrices $a, b \in…

In [4] we developed the theory of positive cones on finite-dimensional simple algebras with involution, inspired by the classical Artin-Schreier theory of orderings on fields, and based on the notion of signatures of hermitian forms [1]. In…

A complete classification of continuous, dually epi-translation invariant, and rotation equivariant valuations on convex functions is established. This characterizes the recently introduced functional Minkowski vectors, which naturally…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a convex $K$ is anemconvex function iff it satisfies $$ f((x+y)/2) \le (f(x)+f(y))/2 + 1. $$ A thorough study of approximately convex functions is made. The principal results are a sharp universal upper…

Let $g$ and $h$ be transcendental entire functions and let $f$ be a continuous map of the complex plane into itself with $f\circ g=h\circ f.$ Then $g$ and $h$ are said to be semiconjugated by $f$ and $f$ is called a semiconjugacy. We…

In this paper, we present a novel concept of the Fenchel conjugate for set-valued mappings and investigate its properties in finite and infinite dimensions. After establishing the fundamental properties of the Fenchel conjugate for…
