We give a new scale of completeness conditions for exponential systems in two types of functional spaces on subsets of the complex plane. The first is the Banach spaces of functions that are continuous on a compact and simultaneously…

We provide a simple proof for the Fenchel duality between strong convexity and Lipschitz continuous gradient. To this end, we first establish equivalent conditions of convexity for a general function that may not be differentiable. By…

The Kantorovich function $(x^TAx)(x^T A^{-1} x)$, where $A$ is a positive definite matrix, is not convex in general. From matrix/convex analysis point of view, it is interesting to address the question: When is this function convex? In this…

This article characterizes conjugates and subdifferentials of convex integral functionals over the linear space $\mathcal N^\infty$ of stochastic processes of essentially bounded variation (BV) when $\mathcal N^\infty$ is identified with…

We introduce and study a new class of generalized convex functions termed star quasiconvex functions. This class includes convex, star-convex, quasiconvex, quasar-convex, and positively homogeneous functions of any degree $p>0$ as special…

Seminal work by Edmonds and Lovasz shows the strong connection between submodularity and convexity. Submodular functions have tight modular lower bounds, and subdifferentials in a manner akin to convex functions. They also admit poly-time…

In the present work, for $\mathbb{X}$ a Banach space, the notion of piecewise continuous $\mathbb{Z}$-almost automorphic functions with values in finite dimensional spaces is extended to piecewise continuous $\mathbb{Z}$-almost automorphic…

In this work we deal with set-valued functions with values in the power set of a separated locally convex space where a nontrivial pointed convex cone induces a partial order relation. A set-valued function is evenly convex if its epigraph…

We study differentiable strongly quasiconvex functions for providing new properties for algorithmic and monotonicity purposes. Furthemore, we provide insights into the decreasing behaviour of strongly quasiconvex functions, applying this…

We provide a new proof that the subdifferential of a proper lower semicontinuous convex function on a Banach space is maximal monotone by adapting the pattern commonly used in the Hilbert setting. We then extend the arguments to show more…

On metric spaces equipped with doubling measures, we prove that a differentiability theorem holds for Lipschitz functions if and only if the space supports nontrivial (metric) derivations in the sense of Weaver that satisfy an additional…

The two-functional conjecture says that if a function f analytic and univalent in the unit disk maximizes Re{L} and Re{M} for two continuous linear functionals L and M, L is not equal to cM for any c>0, then f is a rotation of the Koebe…

We find an equivalent condition for a continuous vector-valued path to be Lebesgue equivalent to a twice differentiable function. For that purpose, we introduce the notion of a $VBG_{{1/2}}$ function, which plays an analogous role for the…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a real open interval $I$ is called $\Phi$-convex if, for all $x,y\in I$, $t\in[0,1]$ it satisfies $$ f(tx+(1-t)y)\leq tf(x)+(1-t)f(y)+t\Phi\big((1-t)|x-y|\big)+(1-t)\Phi\big(t|x-y|\big), $$ where…
