Using a technique of adjoining an order unit to a normed linear space, we have characterized strictly convex spaces among normed linear spaces and Hilbert spaces among strictly convex Banach spaces respectively. This leads to a…
Many classical geometric inequalities on functionals of convex bodies depend on the dimension of the ambient space. We show that this dimension dependence may often be replaced (totally or partially) by different symmetry measures of the…
Rectangular TVS-cone metric spaces are introduced and Kannan's fixed point theorem is proved in these spaces. Two approaches are followed for the proof. At first we prove the theorem by a direct method using the structure of the space…
Definition. A symmetric with respect to 0 bounded closed convex set A in a finite dimensional normed space X is called a sufficient enlargement for X (or of B(X)) if for arbitrary isometric embedding of X into a Banach space Y there exists…
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 concept of angle, angle functions, and the question how to measure angles present old and well-established mathematical topics referring to Euclidean space, and there exist also various extensions to non-Euclidean spaces of different…
A set in the Euclidean plane is said to be biconvex if, for some angle $\theta\in[0,\pi/2)$, all its sections along straight lines with inclination angles $\theta$ and $\theta+\pi/2$ are convex sets (i.e, empty sets or segments).…
Supersymmetry might be broken, in the real world, by anomalies that affect composite operators, while leaving the action supersymmetric. New constraint equations that govern the composite operators and their anomalies are examined. It is…
We investigate a special kind of contraction of symmetric spaces (respectively, of Lie triple systems), called homotopy. In this first part of a series of two papers we construct such contractions for classical symmetric spaces in an…
The concept of uniform convexity of a Banach space was generalized to linear operators between Banach spaces and studied by Beauzamy [1976]. Under this generalization, a Banach space X is uniformly convex if and only if its identity map I_X…
As was recently observed by M. Xu and J. Wolf, there is a gap in Berard Bergery's classification of odd dimensional positively curved homogeneous spaces. Since this classification has been used in other papers as well, we give a modern,…
Classical elasticity is concerned with bodies that can be modeled as smooth manifolds endowed with a reference metric that represents local equilibrium distances between neighboring material elements. The elastic energy associated with a…
In convex geometry, the constructions that assign to a convex body its difference body, projection body, or volume have the following properties: They are (1) invariant under volume-preserving linear changes of coordinates; (2) continuous;…
The subject of this paper is regularity-preserving aggregation of regular norms on finite-dimensional linear spaces. Regular norms were introduced in [5] and are closely related to ``type 2'' spaces [9, Chapter 9] playing important role in…
In this paper, we introduce cone normed linear space, study the cone convergence with respect to cone norm. Finally, we prove the completeness of a finite dimensional cone normed linear space.
Non-convex functions that yet satisfy a condition of uniform convexity for non-close points can arise in discrete constructions. We prove that this sort of discrete uniform convexity is inherited by the convex envelope, which is the key to…
This paper is devoted to the investigation of gradient flows in asymmetric metric spaces (for example, irreversible Finsler manifolds and Minkowski normed spaces) by means of discrete approximation. We study basic properties of curves and…
Ehrhard, Pagani and Tasson proposed a model of probabilistic functional programming in a category of normed positive cones and stable measurable cone maps, which can be seen as a coordinate-free generalization of probabilistic coherence…
Topological defects are ubiquitous in condensed-matter physics but only hypothetical in the early universe. In spite of this, even an indirect evidence for one of these cosmic objects would revolutionize our vision of the cosmos. We give…
We study convex subsets of buildings, discuss some structural features and derive several characterizations of buildings.
