A closed set of a Euclidean space is said to be Chebyshev if every point in the space has one and only one closest point in the set. Although the situation is not settled in infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, in 1932 Bunt showed that in…

A polarity notion for sets in a Banach space is introduced in such a way that the second polar of a set coincides with the smallest strongly convex set with respect to R that contains it. Strongly convex sets are characterized in terms of…

The Lorentzian length, which is one of the most significant functions in Lorentzian geometry, is a complex-valued function. Its square gives a real-valued non-degenerate quadratic function. In this paper, we define naturally extended…

For the distance function from any closed subset of any complete Finsler manifold, we prove that the singular set is equal to a countable union of delta-convex hypersurfaces up to an exceptional set of codimension two. In addition, in…

Let $F(x) := (f_{ij}(x))_{i=1,\ldots,p; j=1,\ldots,q},$ be a ($p\times q$)-real polynomial matrix and let $f(x)$ be the smallest singular value function of $F(x).$ In this paper, we first give the following {\em nonsmooth} version of \L…

In this paper, we introduce a subclass of close-to-convex functions defined in the open unit disk. We obtain the inclusion relationships, coefficient estimates and Fekete-Szego inequality. The results presented here would provide extension…

This paper establishes three minimax theorems for possibly nonconvex functions on Euclidean spaces or on infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. The theorems also guarantee the existence of saddle points. As a by-product, a complete solution…

What is the distance between two points in spacetime? This is a basic geometric question, which so far has no single, definitive answer. Unlike their Riemannian cousins, Lorentzian manifolds are not known to carry a canonical distance…

An equidistant set in the Euclidean space consists of points having equal distances to both members of a given pair of sets, called focal sets. Since there is no effective formula to compute the distance of a point and a set, it is hard to…
