We investigate symmetry and quantitative approximate symmetry for an overdetermined problem related to the fractional torsion equation in a regular open, bounded set $\Omega \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$. Specifically, we show that if…

In the present paper, the following convexity principle is proved: any closed convex multifunction, which is metrically regular in a certain uniform sense near a given point, carries small balls centered at that point to convex sets, even…

We examine the generic local and global rigidity of various graphs in R^d. Bruce Hendrickson showed that some necessary conditions for generic global rigidity are (d+1)-connectedness and generic redundant rigidity and hypothesized that they…

In this paper, we use the Mordukhovich derivatives to precisely find the covering constants for the metric projection operator onto nonempty closed and convex subsets in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. We consider three…

Locally $L^0$-convex modules were introduced in [D. Filipovic, M. Kupper, N. Vogelpoth. Separation and duality in locally $L^0$-convex modules. J. Funct. Anal. 256(12), 3996-4029 (2009)] as the analytic basis for the study of conditional…

We present an alternative proof of the following fact: the hyperspace of compact closed subsets of constant width in $\mathbb R^n$ is a contractible Hilbert cube manifold. The proof also works for certain subspaces of compact convex sets of…

The main problem considered in the present paper is to single out classes of convex sets, whose convexity property is preserved under nonlinear smooth transformations. Extending an approach due to B.T. Polyak, the present study focusses on…

The (constrained) minimization of a ratio of set functions is a problem frequently occurring in clustering and community detection. As these optimization problems are typically NP-hard, one uses convex or spectral relaxations in practice.…

This paper proposes a mechanism to fine-tune convex approximations of probabilistic reachable sets (PRS) of uncertain dynamic systems. We consider the case of unbounded uncertainties, for which it may be impossible to find a bounded…

Let L be a finite extension of Qp, and let K be a spherically complete non-archimedean extension field of L. In this paper we introduce a restricted category of continuous representations of locally L-analytic groups G in locally convex…

The push-forward operation enables one to redistribute a probability measure through a deterministic map. It plays a key role in statistics and optimization: many learning problems (notably from optimal transport, generative modeling, and…

Locally convex cones are generalization of locally convex spaces. The assertion, whether a barreled cone is an upper-barreled cone or not, was posed as a question in [A. Ranjbari, H. Saiflu, Projective and inductive limits in locally convex…

Quantum states that remain separable (i.e., not entangled) under any global unitary transformation are known as absolutely separable and form a convex set. Despite extensive efforts, the complete characterization of this set remains largely…

Mean density of lower dimensional random closed sets, as well as the mean boundary density of full dimensional random sets, and their estimation are of great interest in many real applications. Only partial results are available so far in…

This paper investigates regularity properties of two non-negative sparsity sets: non-negative sparse vectors, and low-rank positive semi-definite matrices. Novel formulae for their Mordukhovich normal cones are given and used to formulate…

Let $V$ be a finite nonempty set. A transit function is a map $R:V\times V\rightarrow 2^V$ such that $R(u,u)=\{u\}$, $R(u,v)=R(v,u)$ and $u\in R(u,v)$ hold for every $u,v\in V$. A set $K\subseteq V$ is $R$-convex if $R(u,v)\subset K$ for…

We prove that for any non-symmetric irreducible divisible convex set, the proximal limit set is the full projective boundary.

We introduce a new generalization of relative entropy to non-negative vectors with sums $\gt 1$. We show in a purely combinatorial setting, with no probabilistic considerations, that in the presence of linear constraints defining a convex…

One of the most fundamental open problems in Incidence Geometry, posed by Tits in the 1960s, asks for the existence of so-called "locally finite generalized polygons" | that is, generalized polygons with "mixed parameters" (one being finite…

Our main result states that the hyperspace of convex compact subsets of a compact convex subset $X$ in a locally convex space is an absolute retract if and only if $X$ is an absolute retract of weight $\le\omega_1$. It is also proved that…
