Finite temperature density functional theory requires representations for the internal energy, entropy, and free energy as functionals of the local density field. A central formal difficulty for an orbital-free representation is…

We introduce notions of concavity for functions on balanced polyhedral spaces, and we show that concave functions on such spaces satisfy several strong continuity properties.

We characterize the convexity of functions and the monotonicity of vector fields on metric measure spaces with Riemannian Ricci curvature bounded from below. Our result offers a new approach to deal with some rigidity theorems such as…

Given a continuous function $\phi$ defined on a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^m\times\mathbb{R}^n$, we show that if a Pr\'ekopa-type result holds for $\phi+\psi$ for any non-negative convex function $\psi$ on $\Omega$, then $\phi$ must be…

In this short note, we show that every convex, order bounded above functional on a Frechet lattice is automatically norm continuous. This improves a result in \cite{RS06} and applies to many deviation and variability measures. We also show…

We continue the study of convergence of multipole pluricomplex Green functions for a bounded hyperconvex domain of $\mathbb C^n$, in the case where poles collide. We consider the case where all poles do not converge to the same point in the…

We study fractal properties of unbounded domains with infinite Lebesgue measure via their complex fractal dimensions. These complex dimensions are defined as poles of a suitable defined Lapidus fractal zeta function at infinity and are a…

In this paper density functionals for Coulomb systems subjected to electric and magnetic fields are developed. The density functionals depend on the particle density, $\rho$, and paramagnetic current density, $j^p$. This approach is…

We prove that the smallest minimizer s(f) of a real convex function f is less than or equal to a real point x if and only if the right derivative of f at x is non-negative. Similarly, the largest minimizer t(f) is greater or equal to x if…

The relationship between smooth measures and positive continuous additive functionals is well known, and this correspondence is called the Revuz correspondence. We investigate the relationships between several types of convergence of smooth…

Let the metric space $\mathbb R^n \setminus \sim$ be the metric space of $n$-sized unordered tuples of real numbers. In the following, it will be shown that if a function $\varphi: \mathbb R^m \to \mathbb R^n \setminus \sim$ is continuous,…

In this paper, we present a new extension of the famous Serrin's lower semicontinuity theorem for the variational functional $\int_{\Omega}f(x,u,u')dx$,we prove its lower semicontinuity in $W_{loc}^{1,1}(\Omega)$ with respect to the strong…

Upper semicontinuous (usc) functions arise in the analysis of maximization problems, distributionally robust optimization, and function identification, which includes many problems of nonparametric statistics. We establish that every usc…

A function $f:\RR \to \RR$ is called \emph{vertically rigid} if $graph(cf)$ is isometric to $graph (f)$ for all $c \neq 0$. We prove Jankovi\'c's conjecture by showing that a continuous function is vertically rigid if and only if it is of…

Let $ \mathcal{S}(p) $ be the class of all meromorphic univalent functions defined in the unit disc $ \mathbb{D} $ of the complex plane with a simple pole at $ z=p $ and normalized by the conditions $ f(0)=0 $ and $ f^{\prime}(0)=1 $. In…

We establish general versions of a variety of results for quasiconvex, lower-semicontinuous, and law-invariant functionals. Our results extend well-known results from the literature to a large class of spaces of random variables. We…

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…

For a function defined on a convex set in a Euclidean space, midpoint convexity is the property requiring that the value of the function at the midpoint of any line segment is not greater than the average of its values at the endpoints of…
