In this paper, given two Banach spaces $X, Y$ and a $C^1$ functional $\Phi:X\times Y\to {\bf R}$, under general assumptions, we show that either $\Phi$ has a saddle-point in $X\times Y$ or, for each convex and dense set $S\subseteq Y$,…

Chapter 1 deals with the problem of the existence of an upper/lower envelope from a convex cone or, more generally, a convex set for functions on the projective limit of vector lattices with values in the completion of the Kantorovich space…

In this paper, we generalize the concept of unbounded norm (un) convergence: let $X$ be a normed lattice and $Y$ a vector lattice such that $X$ is an order dense ideal in $Y$; we say that a net $(y_\alpha)$ un-converges to $y$ in $Y$ with…

The minimax theory for estimating linear functionals is extended to the case of a finite union of convex parameter spaces. Upper and lower bounds for the minimax risk can still be described in terms of a modulus of continuity. However in…

The famous Michael selection theorem deals with the characterisation of paracompact spaces by continuous selections of lower semi-continuous mappings in Banach spaces. In this paper, we will discuss several equivalent forms of this theorem,…

A min-max formula is proved for the minimum of an integer-valued separable discrete convex function where the minimum is taken over the set of integral elements of a box total dual integral (box-TDI) polyhedron. One variant of the theorem…

We show that there exists a $q$-convex function in a neighborhood of a compact set $K$ in a complex manifold $\mathcal{M}$ if and only if the $q$-nucleus of this compact set is empty. The latter can be characterized as the maximal…

A Gauss-Lucas theorem is proved for multivariate entire functions, using a natural notion of separate convexity to obtain sharp results. Previous work in this area is mostly restricted to univariate entire functions (of genus no greater…

In this paper, we establish the following result: Let $(T,{\cal F},\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space, let $Y$ be a reflexive real Banach space, and let $\varphi, \psi:Y\to {\bf R}$ be two sequentially weakly lower semicontinuous…

We prove that every continuous function on a separable infinite-dimensional Hilbert space X can be uniformly approximated by smooth functions with no critical points. This kind of result can be regarded as a sort of very strong approximate…

In this paper we prove a version of the Fountain Theorem for a class of nonsmooth functionals that are sum of a $C^1$ functional and a convex lower semicontinuous functional, and also a version of a theorem due to Heinz for this class of…

In a normed linear space X an element x is said to be orthogonal to another element y in the sense of Birkhoff-James, written as $ x \perp_{B}y, $ iff $ \| x \| \leq \| x + \lambda y \| $ for all scalars $ \lambda.$ We prove that a normed…

We extend Polyak's theorem on the convexity of joint numerical range from three to any number of quadratic forms on condition that they can be generated by three quadratic forms with a positive definite linear combination. Our new result…

We formulate a multi-valued version of the Tietze-Urysohn extension theorem. Precisely, we prove that any upper semicontinuous multi-valued map with nonempty closed convex values defined on a closed subset (resp. closed perfectly normal…

Let $\Delta_m$ be the standard $m$-dimensional simplex of non-negative $m+1$ tuples that sum to unity and let $S$ be a nonempty subset of $\Delta_m$. A real valued function $h$ defined on a convex subset of a real vector space is $S$-almost…

Let G be a complex Lie group, G_R a real form of G and X a G_R-stable domain of holomorphy in a complex G-manifold. If there is a G_R-invariant strictly plurisubharmonic function on X which has certain exhaustion properties, then we show…

For any smooth Riemannian metric on an $(n+1)$-dimensional compact manifold with boundary $(M,\partial M)$ where $3\leq (n+1)\leq 7$, we establish general upper bounds for the Morse index of free boundary minimal hypersurfaces produced by…

Let $B_Y$ denote the unit ball of a normed linear space $Y$. A symmetric, bounded, closed, convex set $A$ in a finite dimensional normed linear space $X$ is called a {\it sufficient enlargement} for $X$ if, for an arbitrary isometric…

This note establishes smooth approximation from above for J-plurisubharmonic functions on an almost complex manifold (X,J). The following theorem is proved. Suppose X is J-pseudoconvex, i.e., X admits a smooth strictly J-plurisubharmonic…

Minkowski's second theorem on successive minima asserts that the volume of a 0-symmetric convex body K over the covolume of a lattice \Lambda can be bounded above by a quantity involving all the successive minima of K with respect to…
