We show that $C^0$-fine approximation of convex functions by smooth (or real analytic) convex functions on $\R^d$ is possible in general if and only if $d=1$. Nevertheless, for $d\geq 2$ we give a characterization of the class of convex…

We study the problem of finding the Lowner-John ellipsoid, i.e., an ellipsoid with minimum volume that contains a given convex set. We reformulate the problem as a generalized copositive program, and use that reformulation to derive…

We show that a random concave function having a periodic hessian on an equilateral lattice has a quadratic scaling limit, if the average hessian of the function satisfies certain conditions. We consider the set of all concave functions $g$…

We prove non asymptotic polynomial bounds on the convergence of the Langevin Monte Carlo algorithm in the case where the potential is a convex function which is globally Lipschitz on its domain, typically the maximum of a finite number of…

We consider the class univalent log-harmonic mappings on the unit disk. Firstly, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for a complex-valued continuous function to be starlike or convex in the unit disk. Then we present a general…

The Blaschke-Santal\'o inequality states that the volume product $|K| \cdot |K^{o}|$ of a symmetric convex body $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is maximized by the standard Euclidean unit-ball. Cordero-Erausquin asked whether the inequality…

The aim of this paper is to develop a basic framework of the $L_p$ theory for the geometry of log-concave functions, which can be viewed as a functional "lifting" of the $L_p$ Brunn-Minkowski theory for convex bodies. To fulfill this goal,…

We present both necessary and sufficient conditions to the convex closed shape $X$ such that the inequality $$ \frac{1}{|X|} \int_X f(x)\:dx \le \frac{1}{|\partial X|} \int_{\partial X} f(x)\:dx$$ is valid for every convex function $f…

We prove the following version of the Kreps-Yan theorem. For any norm closed convex cone $C\subset L^\infty$ such that $C\cap L_+^\infty=\{0\}$ and $C\supset -L_+^\infty$, there exists a strictly positive continuous linear functional, whose…

We study the adaptation properties of the multivariate log-concave maximum likelihood estimator over three subclasses of log-concave densities. The first consists of densities with polyhedral support whose logarithms are piecewise affine.…

In this paper, the connection between the functional inequalities $$ f\Big(\frac{x+y}{2}\Big)\leq\frac{f(x)+f(y)}{2}+\alpha_J(x-y) \qquad (x,y\in D)$$ and $$ \int_0^1f\big(tx+(1-t)y\big)\rho(t)dt \leq\lambda f(x)+(1-\lambda)f(y)…

We investigate a class of composite nonconvex functions, where the outer function is the sum of univariate extended-real-valued convex functions and the inner function is the limit of difference-of-convex functions. A notable feature of…

For $0<p<\infty$ and $\alpha\in (-\infty,\infty)$ we determine when the $L^p$ integral mean on $\{z\in\mathbb C: |z|\le r\}$ of an entire function with respect to the Gaussian area measure $e^{-\alpha|z|^2}\,dA(z)$ is logarithmic convex or…

In a recent article (2022) we proved with L. Zaj\'i\v{c}ek that if $ G\subset\R^n $ is an unbounded open convex set that does not contain a translation of a convex cone with non-empty interior, then there exist $ f:G\to\R $ and a concave…

In this article, we determine two point distortion theorem and sharp coefficient estimates for the families of close-to-convex harmonic mappings whose analytic part is a convex function of order $\alpha$. By making use of these results, we…

Given an arbitrary convex symmetric n-dimensional body, we construct a natural and non-trivial continuous map which associates ellipsoids to ellipsoids, such that the Lowner-John ellipsoid of the body is its unique fixed point. A new…

Let $m(G)$ be the infimum of the volumes of all open subgroups of a unimodular locally compact group $G$. Suppose integrable functions $\phi_1 , \phi_2 \colon G \to [0,1]$ satisfy $\| \phi_1 \| \leq \| \phi_2 \|$ and $\| \phi_1 \| + \|…

We prove that the overpartition function is log-concave for all n>1. The proof is based on Sills Rademacher type series for the overpartition function and inspired by Desalvo and Pak's proof for the partition function.

The article deals with the class ${\mathcal F}_{\alpha }$ consisting of non-vanishing functions $f$ that are analytic and univalent in $\ID$ such that the complement $\IC\backslash f(\ID) $ is a convex set, $f(1)=\infty ,$ $f(0)=1$ and the…

Let $\{P_{\theta}:\theta \in {\mathbb R}^d\}$ be a log-concave location family with $P_{\theta}(dx)=e^{-V(x-\theta)}dx,$ where $V:{\mathbb R}^d\mapsto {\mathbb R}$ is a known convex function and let $X_1,\dots, X_n$ be i.i.d. r.v. sampled…
