The paper concerns the investigation of nonconvex and nondifferentiable integral functionals on general Banach spaces, which may not be reflexive and/or separable. Considering two major subdifferentials of variational analysis, we derive…

We give a sufficient condition for the strict parabolic power concavity of the convolution in space variable of a function defined on $\mathbb{R}^n \times (0,+\infty)$ and a function defined on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Since the strict parabolic…

Quasi-differentiable functions were introduced by Pshenichnyi in a 1969 monograph written in Russian and translated in an English version in 1971. This class of nonsmooth functions was studied extensively in two decades since but has not…

Sufficient conditions for the invariance of evolution problems governed by perturbations of (possibly nonlinear) $m$-accretive operators are provided. The conditions for the invariance with respect to sublevel sets of a constraint…

We show sufficient and necessary conditions, in terms of some partial differential equations with variable coefficients, for a quaternionic function to admit a continuous derivative in a open set in the sense of C. Schwartz.

We prove that certain Bellman functions of several variables are the minimal locally concave functions. This generalizes earlier results about Bellman functions of two variables.

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…

For a Banach space $X$ we demonstrate the equivalence of the following two properties: (1) $X$ is B-convex (that is, possesses a nontrivial infratype), and (2) if ${F: [0,1] \to 2^{X} \setminus \{\varnothing\}}$ is a {multifunction},…

The paper explores the differential inclusion of a special form. It is supposed that the support function of the set in the right-hand side of an inclusion may contain the sum of the maximum and the minimum of the finite number of…

In this work, several sharp bounds for the \v{C}eby\v{s}ev functional involving various type of functions are proved. In particular, for the \v{C}eby\v{s}ev functional of two absolutely continuous functions whose first derivatives are both…

This research aimed to introduce the concept of harmonically m-concave set-valued functions, which is obtained from the combination of two definitions: harmonically m-concave functions and set-valued functions. In this work some properties…

Let $C$ be a closed convex cone in a Banach ideal space $X$ on a measurable space with a $\sigma$-finite measure. We prove that conditions $C\cap X_+=\{0\}$ and $C\supset -X_+$ imply the existence of a strictly positive continuous…

In this work, we introduce a new class of non-convex functions, called implicit concave functions, which are compositions of a concave function with a continuously differentiable mapping. We analyze the properties of their minimization by…

New sufficient conditions, concerned with the coefficients of harmonic functions $f(z)=h(z)+\bar{g(z)}$ in the open unit disk $\mathbb{U}$ normalized by $f(0)=h(0)=h'(0)-1=0$, for $f(z)$ to be harmonic close-to-convex functions are…

We give a simple proof of the Baillon-Haddad theorem for convex functions defined on open and convex subsets of Hilbert spaces. We also state some generalizations and limitations. In particular, we discuss equivalent characterizations of…

We introduce a notion of quasiconvexity for continuous functions $f$ defined on the vector bundle of linear maps between the tangent spaces of a smooth Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and $\mathbb{R}^m$, naturally generalizing the classical…

The purpose of this paper is twofold. First we study a class of Banach manifolds which are not differentiable in traditional sense but they are quasi-differentiable in the sense that a such Banach manifold has an embedded submanifold such…

The main outcomes of the paper are divided into two parts. First, we present a new dual for quadratic programs, in which, the dual variables are affine functions, and we prove strong duality. Since the new dual is intractable, we consider a…

This paper studies the convexity properties of nonsmooth extended-real-valued weakly convex functions, a class of functions that is central to modern optimization and its applications. We establish new characterizations of convexity using…

In this paper, we introduce a new subclass of close-to-convex harmonic functions. We present a sufficient coefficient condition for a function to be a member of this class. Furthermore, we establish a distortion theorem. These results lay…
