Based on Colombeau's theory of algebras of generalized functions we introduce the concepts of generalized functions taking values in differentiable manifolds as well as of generalized vector bundle homomorphisms. We study their basic…
In the paper we show the existence of different types of peak functions in classes of $\mathbb C$-convex domains. As one of tools used in this context is a result on preserving the regularity of $\mathbb C$-convex domains under projection.
We study the local and global versions of the convexity, which is closely related to the problem of extending a convex function on a non-convex domain to a convex function on the convex hull of the domain and beyond the convex hull. We also…

Geometrically convex functions constitute an interesting class of functions obtained by replacing the arithmetic mean with the geometric mean in the definition of convexity. As recently suggested, geometric convexity may be a sensible…

In this paper we introduce Hausdorff locally convex algebra topologies on subalgebras of the whole algebra of nonlinear generalized functions. These topologies are strong duals of Fr\'echet-Schwartz space topologies and even strong duals of…
The g-convexity of functions on manifolds is a generalization of the convexity of functions on Rn. It plays an essential role in both differential geometry and non-convex optimization theory. This paper is concerned with g-convex smooth…

Over the past years a theory of conjugate duality for set-valued functions that map into the set of upper closed subsets of a preordered topological vector space was developed. For scalar duality theory, continuity of convex functions plays…
In this paper we study some relationships between polyhedral convex sets (PCS) and generalized polyhedral convex sets (GPCS). In particular, we clarify by a counterexample that the necessary and sufficient conditions for the separation of a…
The generalized divided differences are introduced. They are applied to investigate some properties characterizing generalized higher-order convexity. Among others some support-type property is proved.
The main problem considered in the present paper is to single out classes of convex sets, whose convexity property is preserved under nonlinear smooth transformations. Extending an approach due to B.T. Polyak, the present study focusses on…
Motivated by a long-standing conjecture of Polya and Szeg\"o about the Newtonian capacity of convex bodies, we discuss the role of concavity inequalities in shape optimization, and we provide several counterexamples to the…
The purpose of this paper is to provide a set of sufficient conditions so that the normalized form of the Fox-Wright functions have certain geometric properties like close-to-convexity, univalency, convexity and starlikeness inside the unit…
In this paper we established new integral inequalities which are more general results for coordinated convex functions on the coordinates by using some classical inequalities.
Submodular set-functions have many applications in combinatorial optimization, as they can be minimized and approximately maximized in polynomial time. A key element in many of the algorithms and analyses is the possibility of extending the…
