In this paper, we introduce a new subclass of close-to-convex harmonic functions. We present a sufficient coefficient condition for a function to be a member of this class. Furthermore, we establish a distortion theorem. These results lay…

This work is concerned with the convex analysis of functions defined on (not necessarily finite-dimensional) Hilbert spaces whose values depend solely on a certain ``spectrum'' of the arguments, a class we term ``spectral functions.'' We…

We propose a neural parameterization of convex sets by learning sublinear (positively homogeneous and convex) functions. Our networks implicitly represent both the support and gauge functions of a convex body. We prove a universal…

In this paper we consider basic hypergeometric functions introduced by Heine. We study mapping properties of certain ratios of basic hypergeometric functions having shifted parameters and show that they map the domains of analyticity onto…

For a class of discrete quasi convex functions called semi-strictly quasi M$^\natural$-convex functions, we investigate fundamental issues relating to minimization, such as optimality condition by local optimality, minimizer cut property,…

In this note we characterize isoperimetric regions inside almost-convex cones. More precisely, as in the case of convex cones, we show that isoperimetric sets are given by intersecting the cone with a ball centered at the origin.

We study the approximability of general convex sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ by intersections of halfspaces, where the approximation quality is measured with respect to the standard Gaussian distribution $N(0,I_n)$ and the complexity of an…

Graph convexity has been used as an important tool to better understand the structure of classes of graphs. Many studies are devoted to determine if a graph equipped with a convexity is a {\em convex geometry}. In this work we survey…

In several recent papers some concepts of convex analysis were extended to discrete sets. This paper is one more step in this direction. It is well known that a local minimum of a convex function is always its global minimum. We study some…

For the minimal graph with strict convex level sets, we find an auxiliary function to study the Gaussian curvature of the level sets. We prove that this curvature function is a concave function with respect to the height of the minimal…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a set-valued mapping between finite dimensional spaces to be directionally open by relating this property with directional regularity, H\"older continuity of the inverse mapping,…

In this paper various notions of convexity of real functions with respect to Chebyshev systems defined over arbitrary subsets of the real line are introduced. As an auxiliary notion, a concept of a relevant divided difference and also a…

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…

We provide a general framework to construct finite dimensional approximations of the space of convex functions, which also applies to the space of c-convex functions and to the space of support functions of convex bodies. We give estimates…

The paper proposes a vector generalization of the basic concepts of the theory of complex variable: the concept of modulus and argument of complex number. The author introduces some generalizations of the notion of holomorphic functions and…

We introduce the set of quasi-Herglotz functions and demonstrate that it has properties useful in the modeling of non-passive systems. The linear space of quasi-Herglotz functions constitutes a natural extension of the convex cone of…

We propose a new concept of generalized differentiation of set-valued maps that captures the first order information. This concept encompasses the standard notions of Frechet differentiability, strict differentiability, calmness and…

This paper considers generalizations of open mappings, closed mappings, pseudo-open mappings, and quotient mappings from topological spaces to generalized topological spaces. Characterizations of these classes of mappings are obtained and…

We introduce the notion of one-sided mapping cones of positive linear maps between matrix algebras. These are convex cones of maps that are invariant under compositions by completely positive maps from either the left or right side. The…

The problem of minimizing a continuously differentiable convex function over an intersection of closed convex sets is ubiquitous in applied mathematics. It is particularly interesting when it is easy to project onto each separate set, but…
