The main theorem of this paper states that the c-convexity and the alternative c-convexity are equivalent if and only if the cost function c satisfies MTW condition. The alternative c-convex function is an analogy of the definition of the…

Constrained second-order convex optimization algorithms are the method of choice when a high accuracy solution to a problem is needed, due to their local quadratic convergence. These algorithms require the solution of a constrained…

In this paper, we consider the class of strongly bi-close-to-convex functions of order $\alpha$ and bi-close-to-convex functions of order $\beta$. We obtain an upper bound estimate for the second Hankel determinant for functions belonging…
A set is called semidefinite representable or semidefinite programming (SDP) representable if it can be represented as the projection of a higher dimensional set which is represented by some Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI). This paper…

We prove curvature estimates for general curvature functions. As an application we show the existence of closed, strictly convex hypersurfaces with prescribed curvature $F$, where the defining cone of $F$ is $\C_+$. $F$ is only assumed to…
A fundamental theorem of linear programming states that a feasible linear program is solvable if and only if its objective function is copositive with respect to the recession cone of its feasible set. This paper demonstrates that this…
The two-functional conjecture says that if a function f analytic and univalent in the unit disk maximizes Re{L} and Re{M} for two continuous linear functionals L and M, L is not equal to cM for any c>0, then f is a rotation of the Koebe…
This paper presents a necessary and sufficient condition for a real-valued function defined on an open and convex subset of a Banach space to be quasi-concave, and a sufficient condition for such a function to be strictly quasi-concave.…
A real-valued sequence $f = \{ f(n) \}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is said to be second-order holonomic if it satisfies a linear recurrence $f (n + 2) = P (n) f (n + 1) + Q (n) f (n)$ for all sufficiently large $n$, where $P, Q \in \mathbb{R}(x)$…
Variational convexity, together with ist strong counterpart, of extended-real-valued functions has been recently introduced by Rockafellar. In this paper we present second-order characterizations of these properties, i.e., conditions using…
We present a novel method for designing higher-order Control Barrier Functions (CBFs) that guarantee convergence to a safe set within a user-specified finite. Traditional Higher Order CBFs (HOCBFs) ensure asymptotic safety but lack…
In the present paper, we will discuss the Hankel determinants $H(f) =a_2a_4-a_3^2$ of order 2 for normalized concave functions $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+\dots$ with a pole at $p\in(0,1).$ Here, a meromorphic function is called concave if it…
