Subdifferentials (in the sense of convex analysis) of matrix-valued functions defined on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are convex with respect to the L\"{o}wner partial order can have a complicated structure and might be very difficult to compute…

Let $C(X,E)$ be the linear space of all continuous functions on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ with values in a locally convex space $E$. We characterize maps $T:C(X,E)\to C(Y,E)$ which satisfy $\mathrm{Ran}(TF-TG)\subset\mathrm{Ran}(F-G)$…

We give an example of a convex, finite and lower semicontinuous function whose subdifferential is everywhere empty. This is possible since the function is defined on an incomplete normed space. The function serves as a universal…

We introduce two valuation-based deviations on convex bodies. Using a construction that allows us to associate to these deviations "intrinsic" pseudometrics, we establish various results which capture information about the underlying…

We study continuous, equality knapsack problems with uniform separable, non-convex objective functions that are continuous, antisymmetric about a point, and have concave and convex regions. For example, this model captures a simple…

The design of convolutional neural architectures that are exactly equivariant to continuous translations is an active field of research. It promises to benefit scientific computing, notably by making existing imaging systems more physically…

The concept of generalized functions taking values in a differentiable manifold is extended to a functorial theory. We establish several characterization results which allow a global intrinsic formulation both of the theory of…

This paper investigates functions from $\mathbb{R}^d$ to $\mathbb{R} \cup \{\pm \infty\}$ that satisfy axioms of linearity wherever allowed by extended-value arithmetic. They have a nontrivial structure defined inductively on $d$, and…

In this paper we consider some properties of the initial logarithmic coefficients for inverse functions of functions univalent in the unit disc. The case of convex functions is treated separately. We give estimate, in some cases sharp, of…

The main result states that every convex set-valued function defined on a real interval with compact values in a locally convex space, admits an affine selection. In the case if the target space is a real line and the values are closed real…

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…

A new directional derivative and a new subdifferential for set-valued convex functions are constructed, and a set-valued version of the so-called 'max-formula' is proven. The new concepts are used to characterize solutions of convex…
