In this paper, we introduce the notion of strongly {\varphi}-convex functions with respect to c>0 and present some properties and representation of such functions. We obtain a characterization of inner product spaces involving the notion of…

The article is devoted to some adaptive methods for variational inequalities with relatively smooth and relatively strongly monotone operators. Starting from the recently proposed proximal variant of the extragradient method for this class…

In this note we study restrictions on the recently introduced super-additive and sub-additive transformations, $A\mapsto A^*$ and $A\mapsto A_*$, of an aggregation function $A$. We prove that if $A^*$ has a slightly stronger property of…

In this article, we further explore convex functions by revealing new bounds, resulting from stronger convexity behavior. In particular, we define the so called radical convex functions and study their properties. We will see that such…

Divergences are quantities that measure discrepancy between two probability distributions and play an important role in various fields such as statistics and machine learning. Divergences are non-negative and are equal to zero if and only…

We introduce the theory of operator monotone functions and employ it to derive a new inequality relating the quantum relative entropy and the quantum conditional entropy. We present applications of this new inequality and in particular we…

Let f be a function defined on positive numbers. The subject is the trace inequality $Tr f(A) + Tr f(P_2AP_2) \le Tr f(P_{12}AP_{12}) + \Tr f(P_{23}AP_{23})$, where $A$ is a positive operator, $P_1,P_2,P_3$ are orthogonal projections such…

In this paper, we address two main topics. First, we study the problem of minimizing the sum of a smooth function and the composition of a weakly convex function with a linear operator on a closed vector subspace. For this problem, we…

In this paper we introduce the concept of quadratic operator perspective for a continuous function {\Phi} defined on the positive semi-axis of real numbers. This generalize the quadratic weighted operator geometric mean and the quadratic…

Submodular continuous functions are a category of (generally) non-convex/non-concave functions with a wide spectrum of applications. We characterize these functions and demonstrate that they can be maximized efficiently with approximation…

We study the surjectivity of the Cauchy-Riemann and Laplace operators on certain weighted spaces of smooth functions of rapid decay on strip-like domains in the complex plane that are defined via weight function systems. We fully…

We extend the definition of weak symmetric continuity to be applicable for functions defined on any nonempty subset of $\R$. Then we investigate basic properties of weakly symmetrically continuous functions and compare them with those of…

In this paper, we study classes of discrete convex functions: submodular functions on modular semilattices and L-convex functions on oriented modular graphs. They were introduced by the author in complexity classification of minimum…

Let $f$ be a measurable function defined on $\mathbb{R}$. For each $n\in\mathbb{Z}$ define the operator $A_n$ by $$A_nf(x)=\frac{1}{2^n}\int_x^{x+2^n}f(y)\, dy.$$ Consider the variation operator…

We consider convex trace functions $\Phi_{p,q,s} = Trace[ (A^{q/2}B^p A^{q/2})^s]$ where $A$ and $B$ are positive $n\times n$ matrices and ask when these functions are convex or concave. We also consider operator convexity/concavity of…

We establish complete characterizations of various notions of expansivity for weighted composition operators on a very general class of locally convex spaces of continuous functions. This class includes several classical classes of…

Let $S(\rho)$ be the von Neumann entropy of a density matrix $\rho$. Weak monotonicity asserts that $S(\rho_{AB}) - S(\rho_A) + S(\rho_{BC}) - S(\rho_C)\geq 0$ for any tripartite density matrix $\rho_{ABC}$, a fact that is equivalent to the…

In this paper, we establish some new inequalities of the Hermite-Hadamard like for class of (h-s)_{1,2}-convex functions which are ordinary, super-multiplicative or similarly ordered and nonnegative.

We show weak lower semi-continuity of functionals assuming the new notion of a "convexly constrained" $\mathcal A$-quasiconvex integrand. We assume $\mathcal A$-quasiconvexity only for functions defined on a set $K$ which is convex.…

The Haraux function is an important tool in monotone operator theory and its applications. One of its salient properties for a maximally monotone operator is to be valued in $[0,+\infty]$ and to vanish only on the graph of the operator.…
