We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions on a function in order that it be the Laplace transform of an absolutely monotonic function. Several closely related results are also given.
We give an example of a convex, finite and lower semicontinuous function whose subdifferential is everywhere empty. This is possible since the function is defined on an incomplete normed space. The function serves as a universal…
We obtain sharp bounds for the modulus of continuity of the uncentered maximal function in terms of the modulus of continuity of the given function, via integral formulas. Some of the results deduced from these formulas are the following:…
In this paper we study a continuity of the "values" of modular functions at the real quadratic numbers which are defined in terms of their cycle integrals along the associated closed geodesics. Our main theorem reveals a more finer…
The basic input for many real objects is a finite cloud of unordered points. The strongest equivalence between objects in practice is rigid motion in a Euclidean space. A recent polynomial-time classification of point clouds required a…
Given a martingale sequence of random fields that satisfies a natural assumption of boundedness, it is shown that the pointwise limit of this sequence can be modified in such a way that a certain class of moduli of continuity is preserved.…
The "Modularity Conjecture" is the assertion that the join of two nonmodular varieties is nonmodular. We establish the veracity of this conjecture for the case of linear idempotent varieties. We also establish analogous results concerning…
Composite optimization problems, where the sum of a smooth and a merely lower semicontinuous function has to be minimized, are often tackled numerically by means of proximal gradient methods as soon as the lower semicontinuous part of the…
We prove a Lipschitz approximation with superlinear error terms for integral currents $\omega$-minimizing the area functional, where $\omega$ is a modulus of continuity satisfying a Dini condition. We also present an almost monotonicity…
Usually, given a continuous-time nonlinear model, a closed form solution for an exact discretization cannot be found explicitly, originating the need of approximating discrete-time models. This note studies the preservation of the Lipschitz…
Let $f:X\to X$ be a continuous map on a compact metric space with finite topological entropy. Further, we assume that the entropy map $\mu\mapsto h_\mu(f)$ is upper semi-continuous. It is well-known that this implies the continuity of the…
The main purpose of this note is to construct two functionals of the positive solutions to the conjugate heat equation associated to the metrics evolving by the conformal Ricci flow on closed manifolds. We show that they are nondecreasing…
We prove that Riemann's xi function is strictly increasing (respectively, strictly decreasing) in modulus along every horizontal half-line in any zero-free, open right (respectively, left) half-plane. A corollary is a reformulation of the…
Many theoretical results in the machine learning domain stand only for functions that are Lipschitz continuous. Lipschitz continuity is a strong form of continuity that linearly bounds the variations of a function. In this paper, we derive…
We show that probabilistic equivalence of a regret-based preference relationship over random variables is implied by a weak form of continuity and monotonicity.
The comonotonic maxitivity property of functionals frequently appears in the characterization of fuzzy integrals based on the maximum operation. In some special cases, comonotonic maxitivity implies monotonicity of functionals. The question…
An inequality, which combines the concept of completely monotone functions with the theory of divided differences, is proposed. It is a straightforward generalization of a result, recently introduced by two of the present authors.
It is proved that a parameterized curve in a metric space $X$ is absolutely continuous if and only if its composition with any Lipschitz function on $X$ is absolutely continuous.
We consider two operations on the Mittag-Leffler function which cancel the exponential term in the expansion at infinity, and generate a completely monotonic function. The first one is the action of a certain differential-difference…
We investigate the properties of minimizers of one-dimensional variational problems when the Lagrangian has no higher smoothness than continuity. An elementary approximation result is proved, but it is shown that this cannot be in general…
