We obtain monotonicity properties for minima and stable solutions of general energy functionals of the type $$ \int F(\nabla u, u, x) dx $$ under the assumption that a certain integral grows at most quadratically at infinity. As a…
We introduce a functor of functionals which preserve maximum of comonotone functions and addition of constants. This functor is a subfunctor of the functor of order-preserving functionals and contains the idempotent measure functor as…
A characterization of t-normed integrals was obtained in \cite{CLM} for finite compacta and in \cite{Rad} for the general case. Such characterization establishes a correspondence between the space of capacities and homogeneous respect…
In this note we prove a condition of monotonicity for the integral functional $ F(g) = \int_a^b h(x)\, d[-g(x)] $ with respect to $g$, a function of bounded variation. This condition is applied to analyze the behavior of a generalized…
Two emergent properties in aggregation theory are investigated, namely horizontal maxitivity and comonotonic maxitivity (as well as their dual counterparts) which are commonly defined by means of certain functional equations. We completely…
The most important open problem in Monotone Operator Theory concerns the maximal monotonicity of the sum of two maximally monotone operators provided that Rockafellar's constraint qualification holds. In this paper, we prove the maximal…
We provide a characterization of those nonmonotonic inference operations C for which C(X) may be described as the set of all logical consequences of X together with some set of additional assumptions S(X) that depends anti-monotonically on…
Recently, the authors studied the connection between each maximal monotone operator T and a family H(T) of convex functions. Each member of this family characterizes the operator and satisfies two particular inequalities. The aim of this…
A compactness of the Revuz map is established in the sense that the locally uniform convergence of a sequence of positive continuous additive functionals is derived in terms of their smooth measures. To this end, we first introduce a metric…
We simplify the proof of some widely used theoretical theorems, extending their applicability, while correcting some erroneous results. We also generalize key results and present new results that contribute to the development of the theory.…
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…
In this work we establish a connection between two classical notions, unrelated so far: Harmonic functions on the one hand and absolutely monotonic functions on the other hand. We use this to prove convexity type and propagation of…
We consider isomorphism between the idempotent measure monad based on the maximum and the addition operations and the idempotent measure monad based on the maximum and the multiplication operations. A one of the consequences of this result…

In this paper we provide sufficient conditions that ensure the monotonicity, respectively the global injectivity of an operator. Further, some new analytical conditions that assure the injectivity/univalence of a complex function of one…
Results on the upper and lower semicontinuity of functionals defined on spaces of convex and more general functions are established. In particular, the following result is obtained. Let $\phi(v; \cdot)$ be the density of the absolutely…
We introduce different classical characteristics used to regularize a subharmonic function and compare them. As an application we give a complete proof of a useful characterization of the modulus of continuity of such functions in terms of…
Commutators of a large class of bilinear operators and multiplication by functions in a certain subspace of the space of functions of bounded mean oscillations are shown to be jointly compact. Under a similar commutation, fractional…
We argue that the finiteness of quantum gravity amplitudes in fully compactified theories (at least in supersymmetric cases) leads to a bottom-up prediction for the existence of non-trivial dualities. In particular, finiteness requires the…
