In recent years, the success of deep learning has inspired many researchers to study the optimization of general smooth non-convex functions. However, recent works have established pessimistic worst-case complexities for this class…
This paper deals with a new kind of generalized functions, called "ultrafunctions" which have been introduced recently and developed in some previous works. Their peculiarity is that they are based on a Non-Archimedean field namely on a…
This paper considers the problem of smoothing convex functions and sets, seeking the nearest smooth convex function or set to a given one. For convex cones and sublinear functions, a full characterization of the set of all optimal…
In the paper we show the existence of different types of peak functions in classes of $\mathbb C$-convex domains. As one of tools used in this context is a result on preserving the regularity of $\mathbb C$-convex domains under projection.
Convexity and convex functions play an important role in theoretical physics. To initiate a study of the possible uses of convex functions in General Relativity, we discuss the consequences of a spacetime $(M,g_{\mu \nu})$ or an initial…

Convex analysis is fundamental to proving inequalities that have a wide variety of applications in economics and mathematics. In this paper we provide Jensen-type inequalities for functions that are, intuitively, "very" convex. These…
In this paper, we not only give the extensions of the results given in [7] by Gill et al. for log-convex functions, but also obtain some new Hadamard type inequalities for log-convex, m-convex and (alpha,m)-convex functions.
In this paper, we establish some integral ineuqalities for n- times differentiable quasi-convex functions.
The notion of spherically symmetric superfunctions as functions invariant under the orthosymplectic group is introduced. This leads to dimensional reduction theorems for differentiation and integration in superspace. These spherically…
We present a general theory for studying the difference analogues of special functions of hypergeometric type on the linear-type lattices, i.e., the solutions of the second order linear difference equation of hypergeometric type on a…
The goal of this article is to present a survey of the recent theory of plurisubharmonic functions of quaternionic variables, and its applications to theory of valuations on convex sets and HKT-geometry (HyperK\"ahler with Torsion). The…
We show how an operation of inf-convolution can be used to approximate convex functions with $C^{1}$ smooth convex functions on Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive curvature (in a manner that not only is explicit but also preserves some…
The classes of n-Wright-convex functions and n-Jensen-convex functions are compared with each other. It is shown that for any odd natural number $n$ the first one is the proper subclass of the second one. To reach this aim new tools…
We study various convex functions on $R^n$ associated with positive definite matrices. This yiels some exotic Holder matrix inequalities.
In this paper, the Authors establish a new identity for differentiable functions. By the well-known H\"older and power mean inequality, they obtain some integral inequalities related to the convex functions and apply these inequalities to…

We treat the classical notion of convexity in the context of hard real analysis. Definitions of the concept are given in terms of defining functions and quadratic forms, and characterizations are provided of different concrete notions of…
