A pointed convex cone naturally induces a partial order, and further a notion of nondecreasingness for functions. We consider extended real-valued functions defined on the cone. Monotone conjugates for these functions can be defined in an…
To a function with values in the power set of a pre-ordered, separated locally convex space a family of scalarizations is given which completely characterizes the original function. A concept of a Legendre-Fenchel conjugate for set-valued…
Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…

We study the composition of two set-valued functions defined on locally convex topological linear spaces. We assume that these functions map into certain complete lattices of sets that have been used to establish a conjugation theory for…
This research aimed to introduce the concept of harmonically m-convex set-valued functions, which is obtained from the combination of two definitions: harmonically m-convex functions and set-valued functions. In this work some properties…
This paper provides an unique dual representation of set-valued lower semi-continuous quasiconvex and convex functions. The results are based on a duality result for increasing set valued functions.
In this paper, we introduce new properties of the relative interior calculus for nearly convex sets, functions, and set-valued mappings. These properties are important for the development of duality theory in optimization. Then we…
Any maximal monotone operator can be characterized by a convex function. The family of such convex functions is invariant under a transformation connected with the Fenchel-Legendre conjugation. We prove that there exist a convex…
The aim of this work is to provide formulae for the subdifferential and the conjungate function of the supremun function over an arbitrary family of functions. The work is principally motivated by the case when data functions are lower…
The (delta-) normal cone to an arbitrary intersection of sublevel sets of proper, lower semicontinuous, and convex functions is characterized, using either epsilon-subdifferentials at the nominal point or exact subdifferentials at nearby…

Evenly convex sets in a topological vector space are defined as the intersection of a family of open half spaces. We introduce a generalization of this concept in the conditional framework and provide a generalized version of the bipolar…

Integrally convex functions constitute a fundamental function class in discrete convex analysis, including M-convex functions, L-convex functions, and many others. This paper aims at a rather comprehensive survey of recent results on…
We consider nonconvex real valued functions whose truncations are either quasiconvex or even convex starting with a certain level. Among them, the $C^2$-smooth functions whose level sets are all completely contained in the positive definite…
We study the class of compact convex subsets of a topological vector space which admits a strictly convex and lower semicontinuous function. We prove that such a compact set is embeddable in a strictly convex dual Banach space endowed with…
In this work, using Moreau envelopes, we define a complete metric for the set of proper lower semicontinuous convex functions. Under this metric, the convergence of each sequence of convex functions is epi-convergence. We show that the set…
In this paper we give a characterization of all order isomorphisms on some classes of convex functions. We deal with the class $Cvx(K)$ consisting of lower-semi-continuous convex functions defined on a convex set $K$, and its subclass…
A fundamental theorem in discrete convex analysis states that a set function is M$^\natural$-concave if and only if its conjugate function is submodular. This paper gives a new proof to this fact.
