We introduce log-log convex programs, which are optimization problems with positive variables that become convex when the variables, objective functions, and constraint functions are replaced with their logs, which we refer to as a log-log…

Recently, Castagnoli et al. (2021) introduce the class of star-shaped risk measures as a generalization of convex and coherent ones, proving that there is a representation as the pointwise minimum of some family composed by convex risk…

Geodesic convexity generalizes the notion of (vector space) convexity to nonlinear metric spaces. But unlike convex optimization, geodesically convex (g-convex) optimization is much less developed. In this paper we contribute to the…

We revisit the recently introduced concept of return risk measures (RRMs) and extend it by incorporating risk management via multiple so-called eligible assets. The resulting new class of risk measures, termed multi-asset return risk…

We establish a general criterion for the validity of inequalities of the following form: A certain convex combination of the values of a convex function at n points and of its value at a weighted mean of these n points is always greater or…

The self-concordant-like property of a smooth convex function is a new analytical structure that generalizes the self-concordant notion. While a wide variety of important applications feature the self-concordant-like property, this concept…

Composite functions have been studied for over 40 years and appear in a wide range of optimization problems. Convex analysis of these functions focuses on (i) conditions for convexity of the function based on properties of its components,…

The aim of this paper is to implement some new techniques, based on conjugate duality in convex optimization, for proving the existence of global error bounds for convex inequality systems. We deal first of all with systems described via…

To the families of geometric measures of convex bodies (the area measures of Aleksandrov-Fenchel-Jessen, the curvature measures of Federer, and the recently discovered dual curvature measures) a new family is added. The new family of…

Geometry constitutes a core set of intuitions present in all humans, regardless of their language or schooling [1]. Could brain's built in machinery for processing geometric information take part in uncertainty representation? For decades…

A complete classification of continuous, dually epi-translation invariant, and rotation equivariant valuations on convex functions is established. This characterizes the recently introduced functional Minkowski vectors, which naturally…

We prove that a general class of measures, which includes $\log$-concave measures, is $\frac{1}{n}$-concave according to the terminology of Borell, with additional assumptions on the measures or on the sets, such as symmetries. This…

In this work, we introduce a new class of non-convex functions, called implicit concave functions, which are compositions of a concave function with a continuously differentiable mapping. We analyze the properties of their minimization by…

Equivalent characterizations of multiportfolio time consistency are deduced for closed convex and coherent set-valued risk measures on $L^p(\Omega,\mathcal F, P; R^d)$ with image space in the power set of $L^p(\Omega,\mathcal F_t,P;R^d)$.…

We study the convexity properties of the generalized trigonometric functions considered as functions of parameter. We show that $p\to\sin_p(y)$ and $p\to\cos_p(y)$ are log-concave on the appropriate intervals while $p\to\tan_p(y)$ is…
