We prove the following version generalization of the Gronwall inequality: Let $\mathbf X$ be a Banach space and $U\subset \mathbf X$ an open convex set in $\mathbf X$. Let $f,g\colon [a,b]\times U\to \mathbf X$ be continuous functions and…

The aim of this short note is to give an alternative proof, which applies to functions of bounded variation in arbitrary domains, of an inequality by Maz'ya that improves Friedrichs inequality. A remarkable feature of such a proof is that…

The Kantorovich function $(x^TAx)(x^T A^{-1} x)$, where $A$ is a positive definite matrix, is not convex in general. From matrix/convex analysis point of view, it is interesting to address the question: When is this function convex? In this…

We have recently established some integral inequalities for convex functions via the Hermite-Hadamard's inequalities. In continuation here, we also establish some interesting new integral inequalities for convex functions via the…

Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ be a convex domain and let $f:\Omega \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a positive, subharmonic function (i.e. $\Delta f \geq 0$). Then $$ \frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_{\Omega}{f dx} \leq \frac{c_n}{ |\partial \Omega| }…

In this note we provide a simple proof of some properties enjoyed by convex functions having the engulfing property. In particular, making use only of results peculiar to convex analysis, we prove that differentiability and strict convexity…

We investigate how basic probability inequalities can be extended to an imprecise framework, where (precise) probabilities and expectations are replaced by imprecise probabilities and lower/upper previsions. We focus on inequalities giving…

It is shown (Theorem A and its corollary) that if g is any nonconstant nonunivalent analytic function on a half-plane H and if D is either a half-plane or a smoothly bounded Jordan domain, then there is a function f on D for which f'(D)…

Let $I\subseteq{\mathbb{R_+}}$ be a non empty and non singleton interval where ${\mathbb{R_+}}$ denotes the set of all non negative numbers. A function $\Phi: I\to {\mathbb{R_+}}$ is said to be subadditive if for any $x,y$ and $x+y\in I$,…

Composite functions have been studied for over 40 years and appear in a wide range of optimization problems. Convex analysis of these functions focuses on (i) conditions for convexity of the function based on properties of its components,…

The aim of this paper is to implement some new techniques, based on conjugate duality in convex optimization, for proving the existence of global error bounds for convex inequality systems. We deal first of all with systems described via…

We prove that, any problem of minimization of proper lower semicontinuous function defined on a normal Hausdorff space, is canonically equivalent to a problem of minimization of a proper weak * lower semicontinuous convex function defined…

We prove the existence of holomorphic functions $f$ defined on any open convex subset ${\rm \Omega}\subset {{\mathbb C}}^n$, whose partial sums of the Taylor developments approximate uniformly any complex polynomial on any convex compact…

In this paper we give some results about the approximation of a Lipschitz function on a Banach space by means of $\Delta$-convex functions. In particular, we prove that the density of $\Delta$-convex functions in the set of Lipschitz…

This paper deals with some geometrical properties of solutions of some semilinear elliptic equations in bounded convex domains or convex rings. Constant boundary conditions are imposed on the single component of the boundary when the domain…

The Hermite-Hadamard inequality states that the average value of a convex function on an interval is bounded from above by the average value of the function at the endpoints of the interval. We provide a generalization to higher dimensions:…

The aim of this paper is to present some new Fejer-type results for convex functions. Improvements of Young's inequality (the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality) and other applications to special means are pointed as well.

We investigate how the type of Convexity of the Core function affects the Csisz\'{a}r $f$-divergence functional. A general treatment for the type of convexity has been considered and the associated perspective functions have been studied.…

We prove completeness of preferential conditional logic with respect to convexity over finite sets of points in the Euclidean plane. A conditional is defined to be true in a finite set of points if all extreme points of the set interpreting…

Problems pointwise estimates from above functions or its averages often arise in the function theory under known integral restrictions on the growth of this function. We offer an approach to such problems based on the integral Jensen's…
