In this paper we prove mixed inequalities for the maximal operator $M_\Phi$, for general Young functions $\Phi$ with certain additional properties, improving and generalizing some previous estimates for the Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator…

We introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy their important properties. Moreover, they exist in…

Optimization problems under affine constraints appear in various areas of machine learning. We consider the task of minimizing a smooth strongly convex function F(x) under the affine constraint Kx=b, with an oracle providing evaluations of…

Given noisy data, function estimation is considered when the unknown function is known apriori to consist of a small number of regions where the function is either convex or concave. When the regions are known apriori, the estimate is…

We study a generalization of the Fr\'echet mean on metric spaces, which we call $\phi$-means. Our generalization is indexed by a convex function $\phi$. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for $\phi$-means to be finite and provide a…

If $f(x,y)$ is a real function satisfying $y>0$ and $\sum_{r=0}^{n-1}f(x+ry,ny)=f(x,y)$ for $n=1,2,3,\ldots$, we say that $f(x,y)$ is an invariant function. Many special functions including Bernoulli polynomials, Gamma function and Hurwitz…

Let $\mathcal S$ denote the class of all functions of the form $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\cdots$ which are analytic and univalent in the open unit disk $\ID$ and, for $\lambda >0$, let $\Phi_\lambda (n,f)=\lambda a_n^2-a_{2n-1}$ denote the…

The notion off-ideals is recent and has been studied in the papers[1] [2], [5], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14] and [15]. In this paper, we have generalized the idea off-ideals to quasi f-ideals. This extended class of ideals is much bigger…

Recently, Ali et al defined the class $\mathcal{W}_{\beta}(\alpha, \gamma)$ consisting of functions $f$ which satisfy $$\Re e^{i\phi}\left((1-\alpha+2\gamma)\frac{f(z)}{z}+(\alpha-2\gamma)f'(z)+\gamma zf''(z)-\beta\right)>0,$$ for all $z\in…

For a real-valued non-negative and log-concave function we introduce a notion of difference function; the difference function represents a functional analog on the difference body of a convex body. We prove a sharp inequality which bounds…

In this paper, we investigate error bounds for cone-convex inclusion problems in finite-dimensional settings of the form $f(x)\in K$, where $K$ is a smooth cone and $f$ is a continuously differentiable and $K$-concave function. We show that…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ denote the class of analytic functions $f$ on the unit disc $\mathbb{D}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\;|z|<1\}$ normalized by $f(0)=0$ and $f^{\prime}(0)=1$. In the present article, we consider and $\mathcal{F}(c)$ the subclasses of…

This paper addresses a problem of estimating an additive functional given $n$ i.i.d. samples drawn from a discrete distribution $P=(p_1,...,p_k)$ with alphabet size $k$. The additive functional is defined as…

In this work we deal with set-valued functions with values in the power set of a separated locally convex space where a nontrivial pointed convex cone induces a partial order relation. A set-valued function is evenly convex if its epigraph…

Ext-int.\ one affine functions are functions affine in the direction of one-divisible exterior forms, with respect to exterior product in one variable and with respect to interior product in the other. The purpose of this article is to…

In this paper we associate with an infinite family of real extended functions defined on a locally convex space, a sum, called robust sum, which is always well-defined. We also associate with that family of functions a dual pair of problems…

An iterated function system $\Phi$ consisting of contractive similarity mappings has a unique attractor $F \subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ which is invariant under the action of the system, as was shown by Hutchinson [Hut]. This paper shows how the…

A function is exponentially concave if its exponential is concave. We consider exponentially concave functions on the unit simplex. In a previous paper we showed that gradient maps of exponentially concave functions provide solutions to a…
