Variational analysis provides the theoretical foundations and practical tools for constructing optimization algorithms without being restricted to smooth or convex problems. We survey the central concepts in the context of a concrete but…
In this paper, we describe s-logarithmically convex functions in the first and second sense which are connected with the ordinary logatihmic convex and s-convex in the first and second sense. Afterwards, some new inequalities related to…

This note should clarify how the behavior of certain invariant objects reflects the geometric convexity of balanced domains.
We introduce a notion of $k$-convexity and explore polygons in the plane that have this property. Polygons which are \mbox{$k$-convex} can be triangulated with fast yet simple algorithms. However, recognizing them in general is a 3SUM-hard…
One constructs new operations of pull-back and push-forward on valuations on manifolds with respect to submersions and immersions. A general Radon type transform on valuations is introduced using these operations and the product on…
Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as…
A characterization of valuations on the space of convex Lipschitz functions whose domain is a polytope in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is obtained. It is shown that every upper semicontinuous, equi-affine and dually epi-translation invariant valuation…

We present elements of a theory of translation-invariant integration on finite dimensional vector spaces and on GL_n over a valuation field with local field as residue field. We then discuss the case of an arbitrary algebraic group. This…
A complete classification is obtained of continuous, translation invariant, Minkowski valuations on an m-dimensional complex vector space which are covariant under the complex special linear group.
We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log Sobolev and Poincare inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally to the concept of…
In this paper, we introduce operator geodesically convex and operator convex-log functions and characterize some properties of them. Then apply these classes of functions to present several operator Azc\'{e}l and Minkowski type inequalities…
This is a survey article on real algebra and geometry, and in particular on its recent applications in optimization and convexity. We first introduce basic notions and results from the classical theory. We then explain how these relate to…
In this paper, we give more general definitions of weighted means and MN-convex functions. Using these definitions, we also obtain some generalized results related to properties of MN-convex functions. The importance of this study is that…
This note deals with certain properties of convex functions. We provide results on the convexity of the set of minima of these functions, the behaviour of their subgradient set under restriction, and optimization of these functions over an…
We study the space of generalized translation invariant valuations on a finite-dimensional vector space and construct a partial convolution which extends the convolution of smooth translation invariant valuations. Our main theorem is that…
Continuous, dually epi-translation invariant valuations on the space of finite-valued convex functions on $\mathbb{C}^n$ that are invariant under the unitary group are investigated. It is shown that elements belonging to the dense subspace…
Some conjectures and open problems in convex geometry are presented, and their physical origin, meaning, and importance, for quantum theory and generic statistical theories, are briefly discussed.
We show an analogue of the Klain-Schneider theorem for valuations that are invariant under rotations around a fixed axis, called zonal. Using this, we establish a new integral representation of zonal valuations involving mixed area measures…
