We define convexity canonically in the setting of monoids. We show that many classical results from convex analysis hold for functions defined on such groups and semigroups, rather than only on vector spaces. Some examples and…

We establish an integral representation for Popoviciu's convex functions of $d$ variables. This representation serves as a~foundation for deriving several functional inequalities, analogous to those well-known for usual convex functions.…

We define a set inner product to be a function on pairs of convex bodies which is symmetric, Minkowski linear in each dimension, positive definite, and satisfies the natural analogue of the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality (which is not implied…

We find sufficient conditions for log-convexity and log-concavity for the functions of the forms $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}(a)_kx^k$, $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}\Gamma(a+k)x^k$ and $a\mapsto\sum{f_k}x^k/(a)_k$. The most useful examples of such functions are…

We define and study a class of subshifts of finite type (SFTs) defined by a family of allowed patterns of the same shape where, for any contents of the shape minus a corner, the number of ways to fill in the corner is the same. The main…

This paper introduces a new subtraction operation for convex sets, which defines their difference as a collection of inclusion-minimal convex sets with appropriate definitions of linear operations on them. With these operations the set of…

Spin-weighted spherical functions provide a useful tool for analyzing tensor-valued functions on the sphere. A tensor field can be decomposed into complex-valued functions by taking contractions with tangent vectors on the sphere and the…
