In this note we define a $C^1$ function $F:[0,M]^2\to [0,2]$ that satisfies that its set of critical values has positive measure. This function provides an example, easier than those that usually appear in the literature, of how the order…
Let $C$ be a subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ (not necessarily convex), $f:C\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function, and $G:C\to\mathbb{R}^n$ be a uniformly continuous function, with modulus of continuity $\omega$. We provide a necessary and sufficient…
It is known that a real function $f$ is convex if and only if the set $$\mathrm{E}(f)=\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R};\ f(x)\leq y\},$$ the epigraph of $f$ is a convex set in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We state an extension of this result for…
In the article the necessary and sufficient conditions for a representation of Lipschitz function of two variables as a difference of two convex functions are formulated. An algorithm of this representation is given. The outcome of this…
A recent article Li and Lv considered contraction of convex hypersurfaces by certain nonhomogeneous functions of curvature, showing convergence to points in finite time in certain cases where the speed is a function of a degree-one…

Having a function $f$ and a set of functionals $\{\mathcal{C}_{n}\}$, $c_n^f \equiv \mathcal{C}_n \left(f\right)$, one can interpret function approximation very generally as a construction of some function $\mathcal{A}_{N}^{f}$ such that…
Let $f$ be a real function defined on the interval $[0,1]$ which is constant on $(a,b)\subset [0,1]$, and let $B_nf$ be its associated $n$th Bernstein polynomial. We prove that, for any $x\in (a,b)$, $|B_nf(x)-f(x)|$ converges to $0$ as…
Suppose $f(x,y) + \frac{\kappa}{2} \|x\|^2 - \frac{\sigma}{2}\|y\|^2$ is convex where $\sigma>0$, and the argmin function $\gamma(x) = \{ \gamma : \inf_y f(x,y) = f(x,\gamma)\}$ exists and is single valued. We will prove $\gamma$ is…
Given an operator convex function $f(x)$, we obtain an operator-valued lower bound for $cf(x) + (1-c)f(y) - f(cx + (1-c)y)$, $c \in [0,1]$. The lower bound is expressed in terms of the matrix Bregman divergence. A similar inequality is…
It is shown here that if $(Y,\|\cdot\|_Y)$ is a Banach space in which martingale differences are unconditional (a UMD Banach space) then there exists $c=c(Y)\in (0,\infty)$ with the following property. For every $n\in \mathbb{N}$ and…
This paper concerns matrix "convex" functions of (free) noncommuting variables, $x = (x_1, \ldots, x_g)$. Helton and McCullough showed that a polynomial in $x$ which is matrix convex is of degree two or less. We prove a more general result:…
In this paper, with the aid of the simplicial approximation property, the Hopf's construction and Dugundji's homotopy extension Theorem, we first show that if C is a nonempty compact convex subset of an F-space (E; || ||); then for every…
We prove that every nonnegative continuous real-valued function on a given compact metric space is the uniform limit of some increasing sequence of nonnegative simple functions being linear combinations of indicators of open sets; here the…
For functions $f(z)=z^p+a_{n+1}z^{p+1}+...$ defined on the open unit disk, the condition $\Re (f'(z)/z^{p-1})>0$ is sufficient for close-to-convexity of $f$. By making use of this result, several sufficient conditions for close-to-convexity…
We study operator log-convex functions on $(0,\infty)$, and prove that a continuous nonnegative function on $(0,\infty)$ is operator log-convex if and only if it is operator monotone decreasing. Several equivalent conditions related to…
We present some generalized Jensen type operator inequalities involving sequences of self-adjoint operators. Among other things, we prove that if $f:[0,\infty) \to \mathbb{R}$ is a continuous convex function with $f(0)\leq 0$, then…

We provide a sufficient condition for an invertible (locally strongly) convex vector-valued function on $\mathbb{R}^N$ to have a (locally strongly) convex inverse. We show under suitable conditions that if the gradient of each component of…
