In this paper, we study some problems with continuously differentiable quasiconvex objective function. We prove that exactly one of the following two alternatives holds: (I) the gradient of the objective function is different from zero over…
This paper studies the strong quasiconvexity of norm and distance functions in finite-dimensional normed spaces. Although the Euclidean norm is known to be strongly quasiconvex on bounded convex sets, a complete characterization of this…

A normalized analytic function f is shown to be univalent in the open unit disk D if its second coefficient is sufficiently small and relates to its Schwarzian derivative through a certain inequality. New criteria for analytic functions to…
We show that if $X$ is a quasi-Banach space with trivial dual then every continuous function $f:[0,1]\to X$ has a primitive, answering a question of M.M. Popov.
In this paper, we investigate and find a necessary and sufficient condition for a function to be absolutely continuous over $\mathbb{R}$ (denoted by $AC(\mathbb{R})$) or any unbounded interval in $\mathbb{R}$ . Note that the Lebesgue's…
We make some remarks on the global shape of continuous convex functions defined on a Banach space $Z$. Among other results we prove that if $Z$ is separable then for every continuous convex function $f:Z\to\mathbb{R}$ there exist a unique…
Submodular Functions are a special class of set functions, which generalize several information-theoretic quantities such as entropy and mutual information [1]. Submodular functions have subgradients and subdifferentials [2] and admit…
Maximal monotone operators on a Banach space into its dual can be represented by convex functions bounded below by the duality product. It is natural to ask under which conditions a convex function represents a maximal monotone operator. A…
A sufficient condition for existence of a solution of a differential inclusion with a uniformly bounded right-hand side that has nonempty closed (possibly nonconvex) values is obtained. An Olech-type result is obtained as a corollary. An…

We provide sharp and explicit characterizations of the normal cone to sublevel sets of suprema of arbitrary functions, expressed exclusively in terms of subdifferentials of the data functions. In the convex case, the resulting formulas…
