In this paper we introduce and study the concept of set extremality for systems of convex sets in vector spaces without topological structures. Characterizations of the extremal systems of sets are obtained in the form of the convex…

We introduce the arithmetic width of a convex body, defined as the number of distinct values a linear functional attains on the lattice points within the body. Arithmetic width refines lattice width by detecting gaps in the lattice point…

Any compact body in ${\mathbb R}^N$ with smooth boundary defines a two-valued function on the space of affine hyperplanes: the volumes of two parts into which these hyperplanes cut the body. This function is never algebraic if $N$ is even…

Using an optimal containment approach, we quantify the asymmetry of convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with respect to reflections across affine subspaces of a given dimension. We prove general inequalities relating these ''Minkowski…

Estimation of convex functions finds broad applications in engineering and science, while convex shape constraint gives rise to numerous challenges in asymptotic performance analysis. This paper is devoted to minimax optimal estimation of…

This work introduces two new notions of dimension, namely the unimodular Minkowski and Hausdorff dimensions, which are inspired from the classical analogous notions. These dimensions are defined for unimodular discrete spaces, introduced in…

Sumset estimates, which provide bounds on the cardinality of sumsets of finite sets in a group, form an essential part of the toolkit of additive combinatorics. In recent years, probabilistic or entropic analogs of many of these…

We make a study of Weinstein functionals, first defined in ~\cite{W}, on the hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^n$. We are primarily interested in the existence of Weinstein functional maximisers, or, in other words, existence of extremal…

We prove that in many cases the existence of an extremal metric for some Laplace eigenvalue in a conformal class allows to find extremal metrics in conformal classes close by. As a consequence and as part of the arguments we obtain…

This paper presents the Gaussian subordination framework to generate optimal one-sided approximations to multidimensional real-valued functions by functions of prescribed exponential type. Such extremal problems date back to the works of…

Motivated by first-order conditions for extremal bodies of geometric functionals, we study a functional analytic notion of infinitesimal perturbations of convex bodies and give a full characterization of the set of realizable perturbations…

This work is concerned with the convex analysis of functions defined on (not necessarily finite-dimensional) Hilbert spaces whose values depend solely on a certain ``spectrum'' of the arguments, a class we term ``spectral functions.'' We…

Many elliptic boundary value problems exhibit an interior regularity property, which can be exploited to construct local approximation spaces that converge exponentially within function spaces satisfying this property. These spaces can be…

We consider structured optimisation problems defined in terms of the sum of a smooth and convex function, and a proper, l.s.c., convex (typically non-smooth) one in reflexive variable exponent Lebesgue spaces $L_{p(\cdot)}(\Omega)$. Due to…
