Decomposition spaces are a class of function spaces constructed out of well-behaved coverings and partitions of unity of a set. The structure of the covering of the set determines the properties of the decomposition space. Besov spaces,…

For an $(n\ge 2)$-dimensional real Banach space $E$ with unit ball $E_{\le 1}$ and a topological space $X$ arbitrary elements in $C(X,E_{\le 1})$ are always expressible as linear combinations of at most three functions valued in the unit…

In this article we prove a conjecture of Bezdek, Brass, and Harborth concerning the maximum volume of the convex hull of any facet-to-facet connected system of n unit hypercubes in the d-dimensional Euclidean space. For d=2 we enumerate the…

The paper is concerned with the boundary behaviour of polynomially and rationally convex hulls in pseudoconvex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. As an application, it is shown that every connected polynomially or rationally convex compact set with…

Let $S$ be a finite set with $n$ elements in a real linear space. Let $\cJ_S$ be a set of $n$ intervals in $\nR$. We introduce a convex operator $\co(S,\cJ_S)$ which generalizes the familiar concepts of the convex hull $\conv S$ and the…

We classify operator systems $S\subseteq \mathcal B(H)$ that act on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces by making use of the noncommutative Choquet boundary. S is said to be {\em reduced} when its boundary ideal is 0. In the category of…

We consider the bipartite boolean quadric polytope (BQP) with multiple-choice constraints and analyse its combinatorial properties. The well-studied BQP is defined as the convex hull of all quadric incidence vectors over a bipartite graph.…

We consider supervised learning problems in which set predictions provide explicit uncertainty estimates. Using Choquet integrals (a.k.a. Lov{\'a}sz extensions), we propose a convex loss function for nondecreasing subset-valued functions…

We consider polyhedral approximations of strictly convex compacta in finite dimensional Euclidean spaces (such compacta are also uniformly convex). We obtain the best possible estimates for errors of considered approximations in the…

We derive a closed form description of the convex hull of mixed-integer bilinear covering set with bounds on the integer variables. This convex hull description is determined by considering some orthogonal disjunctive sets defined in a…

The vector field of a mixed-monotone system is decomposable via a decomposition function into increasing (cooperative) and decreasing (competitive) components, and this decomposition allows for, e.g., efficient computation of reachable sets…

We derive explicit formulae for the expected volume and the expected number of facets of the convex hull of several multidimensional Gaussian random walks in terms of the Gaussian persistence probabilities. Special cases include the already…

We define two non-linear operations with random (not necessarily closed) sets in Banach space: the conditional core and the conditional convex hull. While the first is sublinear, the second one is superlinear (in the reverse set inclusion…

A model for a Choquet integral for arbitrary finite set systems is presented. The model includes in particular the classical model on the system of all subsets of a finite set. The general model associates canonical non-negative and…

The Choquet - Bishop - de Leeuw theorem states that each element of a compact convex subset of a locally convex topological Hausdorff space is a barycenter of a probability measure supported by the set of extreme points of that set. By the…

Characterizing the solution sets in a problem by closedness under operations is recognized as one of the key aspects of algorithm development, especially in constraint satisfaction. An example from the Boolean satisfiability problem is that…

In this paper we study the statistical properties of convex hulls of $N$ random points in a plane chosen according to a given distribution. The points may be chosen independently or they may be correlated. After a non-exhaustive survey of…
