The classical concept of Fenchel conjugation is tailored to extended real-valued functions defined on linear spaces. In this paper we generalize this concept to functions defined on arbitrary sets that do not necessarily bear any structure…

The "old-new" concept of convex-hull function was investigated by several authors in the last seventy years. A recent research on it led to some other volume functions as the covariogram function, the widthness function or the so-called…

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…

We propose a new class of convex penalty functions, called \emph{variational Gram functions} (VGFs), that can promote pairwise relations, such as orthogonality, among a set of vectors in a vector space. These functions can serve as…
