We explore the relationship between convex and subharmonic functions on discrete sets. Our principal concern is to determine the setting in which a convex function is necessarily subharmonic. We initially consider the primary notions of…
This paper provides an unique dual representation of set-valued lower semi-continuous quasiconvex and convex functions. The results are based on a duality result for increasing set valued functions.
We investigate generalized potentials for a mean-field density functional theory of a three-phase contact line. Compared to the symmetrical potential introduced in our previous article [1], the three minima of these potentials form a small…
A fundamental open question asking whether all real-valued strongly quasiconvex functions defined on $\mathbb R^n$ are necessarily continuous, akin to their convex counterparts, is answered in detail in this paper. Among other things, we…
The (delta-) normal cone to an arbitrary intersection of sublevel sets of proper, lower semicontinuous, and convex functions is characterized, using either epsilon-subdifferentials at the nominal point or exact subdifferentials at nearby…
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…
INTRODUCTION This papers deals with partial differential equations of second order, linear, with constant and not constant coefficients, in two variables, which admit real characteristics. I face the study of PDEs with the mentality of the…
The paper studies complementary choice functions, i.e. monotonic and consistent choice functions. Such choice functions were introduced and used in the work \cite{RY} for investigation of matchings with complementary contracts. Three…
This paper is concerned with a PDE approach to horizontally quasiconvex (h-quasiconvex) functions in the Heisenberg group based on a nonlinear second order elliptic operator. We discuss sufficient conditions and necessary conditions for…
Spaces of convex and concave functions appear naturally in theory and applications. For example, convex regression and log-concave density estimation are important topics in nonparametric statistics. In stochastic portfolio theory, concave…
We characterise in this work the $q$-plurisubharmonic functions in terms of the theory of viscosity solutions. We show that an upper semicontinuous function is $q$-plurisubharmonic if and only if its complex Hessian has at most $q$ strictly…
We consider a polyharmonic operator $H=(-\Delta)^l+V(\x)$ in dimension two with $l\geq 2$, $l$ being an integer, and a quasi-periodic potential $V(\x)$. We prove that the absolutely continuous spectrum of $H$ contains a semiaxis and there…
The double-layer potential plays an important role in solving boundary value problems for elliptic equations, and in the study of which for a certain equation, the properties of the fundamental solutions of the given equation are used. All…
Operator convex functions defined on the positive half-line play a prominent role in the theory of quantum information, where they are used to define quantum $f$-divergences. Such functions admit integral representations in terms of…
This article characterizes conjugates and subdifferentials of convex integral functionals over linear spaces of cadlag stochastic processes. The approach is based on new measurability results on the Skorokhod space and new interchange rules…
This paper introduces the proper notion of variational quasiconvexity associated to a group of diffeomorphisms. We prove a lower semicontinuity theorem connected to this notion. In the second part of the paper we apply this result to a…
In this paper we introduce and study the notion of plurisubharmonic functions in calibrated geometry. These functions generalize the classical plurisubharmonic functions from complex geometry and enjoy many of their important properties.…
We introduce and study the notion of (e,y)-conjugate for a proper and e-convex function in locally convex spaces, which is an extension of the concept of the conjugate. The mutual relationships between the concepts of (e,y)-conjugacy and…
This paper addresses inverse problems (in a broad sense) for two classes of multivariate neural network (NN) operators, with particular emphasis on saturation results, and both analytical and semi-analytical inverse theorems. One of the key…
