A closed quasigeodesic on a convex polyhedron is a closed curve that is locally straight outside of the vertices, where it forms an angle at most $\pi$ on both sides. While the existence of a simple closed quasigeodesic on a convex…

The popular BFGS quasi-Newton minimization algorithm under reasonable conditions converges globally on smooth convex functions. This result was proved by Powell in 1976: we consider its implications for functions that are not smooth. In…

Deciding whether a given function is quasiconvex is generally a difficult task. Here, we discuss a number of numerical approaches that can be used in the search for a counterexample to the quasiconvexity of a given function $W$. We will…

Symmetric quasiconvexity plays a key role for energy minimization in geometrically linear elasticity theory. Due to the complexity of this notion, a common approach is to retreat to necessary and sufficient conditions that are easier to…

We consider a new subclass $\widetilde{\mathcal{K}}_u$ of close-to-convex functions in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z|<1\}$. For this class, we obtain sharp estimates of the Fekete-Szeg\"{o} problem, growth and distortion…

In this paper, we derive new estimates for the remainder term of the midpoint, trapezoid, and Simpson formulae for functions whose derivatives in absolute value at certain power are quasi-convex. Some applications to special means of real…

We present an example of smooth quasi-convex functions in the positive octant of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ which cannot be obtained as the images of convex smooth functions under a monotone smooth mappings of $\mathbb{R}$.

Motivated by classical notions of bilinear matrix inequalities (BMIs) and partial convexity, this article investigates partial convexity for noncommutative functions. It is shown that noncommutative rational functions that are partially…

We recall the definition of quasinearly subharmonic functions, point out that this function class includes, among others, subharmonic functions, quasisubharmonic functions, nearly subharmonic functions and essentially almost subharmonic…

We characterize the valuations on the space of quasi-concave functions defined on the $N$-dimensional Euclidean space, that are rigid motion invariant and continuous with respect to a suitable topology. Among them we also provide a specific…

In this paper, the class of (complex) quasi-Herglotz functions is introduced as the complex vector space generated by the convex cone of ordinary Herglotz functions. We prove characterization theorems, in particular, an analytic…

The class of $\eta$-quasiconvex functions was introduced in 2016. Here we establish novel inequalities of Ostrowski type for functions whose second derivative, in absolute value raised to the power $q\geq 1$, is $\eta$-quasiconvex. Several…

In this paper, we introduce a new class of nonsmooth convex functions called SOS-convex semialgebraic functions extending the recently proposed notion of SOS-convex polynomials. This class of nonsmooth convex functions covers many common…

In this paper the spherical quasi-convexity of quadratic functions on spherically convex sets is studied. Several conditions characterizing the spherical quasi-convexity of quadratic functions are presented. In particular, conditions…

Nearly convex sets play important roles in convex analysis, optimization and theory of monotone operators. We give a systematic study of nearly convex sets, and construct examples of subdifferentials of lower semicontinuous convex functions…

Convergence of projection-based methods for nonconvex set feasibility problems has been established for sets with ever weaker regularity assumptions. What has not kept pace with these developments is analogous results for convergence of…

We establish existence of steepest descent curves emanating from almost every point of a regular locally Lipschitz quasiconvex functions, where regularity means that the sweeping process flow induced by the sublevel sets is reversible. We…

We attempt to provide an algorithm for approximating a solution of the quasiconvex equilibrium problem that was proved to exist by K. Fan 1972. The proposed algorithm is an iterative procedure, where the search direction at each iteration…
