This study focuses on convex functions and their generalized. Thus, we start this study by giving the definition of convex functions and some of their properties and discussing a simple geometric property. Then we generalize E-convex…

This paper addresses the study and characterizations of variational convexity of extended-real-valued functions on Banach spaces. This notion has been recently introduced by Rockafellar, and its importance has been already realized and…
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 introduce notions of concavity for functions on balanced polyhedral spaces, and we show that concave functions on such spaces satisfy several strong continuity properties.
It is established that general s-convex functions are a new class of generalized convex functions. In a similar vein, a new class of general s-convex sets is introduced, which are generalizations of s-convex sets. Additionally, certain…
It is well known that finite-dimensional polyhedral convex sets can be generated by finitely many points and finitely many directions. Representation formulas in this spirit are obtained for convex polyhedra and generalized convex polyhedra…
The paper is devoted to the study, characterizations, and applications of variational convexity of functions, the property that has been recently introduced by Rockafellar together with its strong counterpart. First we show that these…
Integrally convex functions constitute a fundamental function class in discrete convex analysis, including M-convex functions, L-convex functions, and many others. This paper aims at a rather comprehensive survey of recent results on…
Integral properties of multifunctions with closed convex values are studied. In this more general framework not all the tools and the technique used for weakly compact convex valued multifunctions work. We pay particular attention to the…

Recently the authors have explored new concepts of plurisubharmonicity and pseudoconvexity, with much of the attendant analysis, in the context of calibrated manifolds. Here a much broader extension is made. This development covers a wide…
In the paper, we introduce the generalized convex function on fractal sets of real line numbers and study the properties of the generalized convex function. Based on these properties, we establish the generalized Jensen inequality and…
The theory of intrinsic volumes of convex cones has recently found striking applications in areas such as convex optimization and compressive sensing. This article provides a self-contained account of the combinatorial theory of intrinsic…
Generalized polyhedral convex optimization problems in locally convex Hausdorff topological vector spaces are studied systematically in this paper. We establish solution existence theorems, necessary and sufficient optimality conditions,…
As a generalization of geodesic function, in the present paper, we introduce the notion of geodesic $\varphi$-convex function and deduce some basic properties of $\varphi$-convex function and geodesic $\varphi$-convex function. We also…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of nearly convex set-valued mappings and investigate fundamental properties of these mappings. Additionally, we establish a geometric approach for generalized differentiation of nearly convex…
Investigation of the generalized trigonometric and hyperbolic functions containing two parameters has been a very active research area over the last decade. We believe, however, that their monotonicity and convexity properties with respect…
Seminal work by Edmonds and Lovasz shows the strong connection between submodularity and convexity. Submodular functions have tight modular lower bounds, and subdifferentials in a manner akin to convex functions. They also admit poly-time…
