This paper considers the multi-task learning problem and in the setting where some relevant features could be shared across few related tasks. Most of the existing methods assume the extent to which the given tasks are related or share a…
In this paper, we study the Fenchel-Rockafellar duality and the Lagrange duality in the general frame work of vector spaces without topological structures. We utilize the geometric approach, inspired from its successful application by B. S.…
We introduce a compositional framework for convex analysis based on the notion of convex bifunction of Rockafellar. This framework is well-suited to graphical reasoning, and exhibits rich dualities such as the Legendre-Fenchel transform,…
A vector composition of a vector $\mathbf{\ell}$ is a matrix $\mathbf{A}$ whose rows sum to $\mathbf{\ell}$. We define a weighted vector composition as a vector composition in which the column values of $\mathbf{A}$ may appear in different…
An introduction to geometric valuation theory is given. The focus is on classification results for $\operatorname{SL}(n)$ invariant and rigid motion invariant valuations on convex bodies and on convex functions.
We give a characterization of smooth, rotation and dually epi-translation invariant valuations and use this result to obtain a new proof of the Hadwiger theorem on convex functions. We also give a description of the construction of the…
We show how our recent results on compositions of d.c. functions (and mappings) imply positive results on extensions of d.c. functions (and mappings). Examples answering two natural relevant questions are presented. Two further theorems,…
Functions with uniform sublevel sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…
A subclass of complex-valued close-to-convex harmonic functions that are univalent and sense-preserving in the open unit disc is investigated. The coefficient estimates, growth results, area theorem, boundary behavior, convolution and…
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…
The paper is a contribution both to the theoretical foundations and to the actual construction of efficient automatizable proof procedures for non-classical logics. We focus here on the case of finite-valued logics, and exhibit: (i) a…
We develop an assume-guarantee framework for control of large scale linear (time-varying) systems from finite-time reach and avoid or infinite-time invariance specifications. The contracts describe the admissible set of states and controls…
We give a semantics for the lambda-calculus based on a topological duality theorem in nominal sets. A novel interpretation of lambda is given in terms of adjoints, and lambda-terms are interpreted absolutely as sets (no valuation is…
This paper aims to study the dual of an extended locally convex space. In particular, we study the weak and weak* topologies as well as the topology of uniform convergence on bounded subsets of an extended locally convex space. As an…
We give characterizations of unital uniform topological algebras and saturated locally multiplicatively convex algebras by means of multiplicative linear functionals. Some automatic continuity theorems in advertibly complete uniform…
The concept of permutograph is introduced and properties of integral functions on permutographs are established. The central result characterizes the class of integral functions that are representable as lattice polynomials. This result is…
The aim of this note is to point out a convexity property with respect to the root lattice for the support of the highest weights that occur in a tensor product of irreducible rational representations of $SL(n)$ over the complex numbers.…
Utilizing spectral residues of parameterized, recursively defined sequences, we develop a general method for generating identities of composition sums. Specific results are obtained by focusing on coefficient sequences of solutions of first…
An order theoretic and algebraic framework for the extended real numbers is established which includes extensions of the usual difference to expressions involving $-\infty$ and/or $+\infty$, so-called residuations. Based on this,…
During the study of the topic of limit summability of functions (introduced by the author in 2001), we encountered some types of functions that are related to the mean value theorem. In this paper, we formally define mean value and…
