In this note we provide a full conjugacy and subdifferential calculus for convex convex-composite functions in finite-dimensional space. Our approach, based on infimal convolution and cone-convexity, is straightforward and yields the…
A subclass of complex-valued close-to-convex harmonic functions that are univalent and sense-preserving in the open unit disc is investigated. The coefficient estimates, growth results, area theorem, boundary behavior, convolution and…
This paper establishes various variational properties of parametrized versions of two convexity-preserving constructs that were recently introduced in the literature: the proximal composition of a function and a linear operator, and the…
This study focuses on convex functions and their generalized. Thus, we start this study by giving the definition of convex functions and some of their properties and discussing a simple geometric property. Then we generalize E-convex…
Given a finite and non-empty set $X$ and randomly selected specific functions and relations on $X$, we investigate the existence and non-existence of fixed points and reflexive points, respectively. First, we consider the class of…
Recently the authors have explored new concepts of plurisubharmonicity and pseudoconvexity, with much of the attendant analysis, in the context of calibrated manifolds. Here a much broader extension is made. This development covers a wide…
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…
The study of convex functions - in particular, of their optimization (really minimization) is one of the most important fields of applied mathematics. Convexity seems to be one of those incredibly well-chosen hypotheses which is just…
In this paper, two new classes of convex functions as a generalization of convexity which is called (h-s)_{1,2}-convex functions are given. We also prove some Hadamard-type inequalities and applications to the special means are given.
A novel basis of discrete analytic polynomials on a rhombic lattice is introduced and the associated convolution product is studied. A class of discrete analytic functions that are rational with respect to this product is also described.
We consider the class of smooth convex functions defined over an open convex set. We show that this class is essentially different than the class of smooth convex functions defined over the entire linear space by exhibiting a function that…
Submodularity is a discrete domain functional property that can be interpreted as mimicking the role of the well-known convexity/concavity properties in the continuous domain. Submodular functions exhibit strong structure that lead to…
This work is dedicated to foundational aspects of general (nonlinear second order) potential theories and fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs. In particular, we systematically develop the fundamental role played by semiconvex functions as a…
Subdifferentials (in the sense of convex analysis) of matrix-valued functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are convex with respect to the L\"{o}wner partial order can have a complicated structure and might be very difficult to compute…
To provide a solid analytic foundation for the module approach to conditional risk measures, our purpose is to establish a complete random convex analysis over random locally convex modules by simultaneously considering the two kinds of…
Two of the authors have defined the class $ WDC(M)$ as the class of all subsets of a smooth manifold $M$ that may be expressed in local coordinates as certain sublevel sets of DC (differences of convex) functions. If $M$ is Riemanian and…
The main goal of this paper is to provide a brief survey of recent results which connect together results from different areas of research. It is well known that numerical integration of functions with mixed smoothness is closely related to…
The goal of the paper is to study the particular class of regularly ${\mathcal{H}}$-convex functions, when ${\mathcal{H}}$ is the set ${\mathcal{L}\widehat{C}}(X,{\mathbb{R}})$ of real-valued Lipschitz continuous classically concave…
Let K(X) be the collection of all non-zero finite dimensional subspaces of rational functions on an n-dimensional irreducible variety X. For any n-tuple L_1,..., L_n in K(X), we define an intersection index [L_1,..., L_n] as the number of…
Multisets are sets that allow repetition of elements. As such, multisets pave the way to a number of interesting possibilities of theoretical and applied nature. In the present work, after revising the main aspects of traditional sets, we…
