We introduce floating bodies for convex, not necessarily bounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. This allows us to define floating functions for convex and log concave functions and log concave measures. We establish the asymptotic behavior of…

A fundamental construction in formal language theory is the Myhill-Nerode congruence on words, whose finitedness characterizes regular language. This construction was generalized to functions from $\Sigma^*$ to $\mathbb{Z}$ by Colcombet,…

We introduce and study two new relations between function spaces over measure spaces of infinite measure, motivated by the question of establishing compactness. The first relation captures the uniform decay of function (quasi-)norms ``at…

Cylindric skew Schur functions, which are a generalisation of skew Schur functions, arise naturally in the study of P-partitions. Also, recent work of A. Postnikov shows they have a strong connection with a problem of considerable current…

We study the smooth structure of convex functions by generalizing a powerful concept so-called self-concordance introduced by Nesterov and Nemirovskii in the early 1990s to a broader class of convex functions, which we call generalized…

We consider minimization of stochastic functionals that are compositions of a (potentially) non-smooth convex function $h$ and smooth function $c$ and, more generally, stochastic weakly-convex functionals. We develop a family of stochastic…

We extend to infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces a celebrated result, due to B. Polyak, about the convexity of the joint image of quadratic functions. We give sufficient conditions which assure that the joint image is also closed. However,…

We introduce and discuss a new class of (multivalued analytic) transcendental functions which still share with algebraic functions the property that the number of their isolated zeros can be explicitly counted. On the other hand, this class…
