Let $f_{\bf c}(r)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty e^{c_n}r^n$ be an analytic function; ${\bf c}=(c_n)\in l_\infty$. We assume that $r$ is some logarithmically convex and lower semicontinuous functional on a locally convex topological space $L$. In this…

In this work, several sharp bounds for the \v{C}eby\v{s}ev functional involving various type of functions are proved. In particular, for the \v{C}eby\v{s}ev functional of two absolutely continuous functions whose first derivatives are both…

An example is given of a hyperconvex manifold without non-constant bounded holomorphic functions, which is realized as a domain with real-analytic Levi-flat boundary in a projective surface.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a real-valued quasiconvex function f on a Baire topological vector space X (in particular, Banach or Frechet space) to be continuous at the points of a residual subset of X. These conditions…

We prove results on the relaxation and weak* lower semicontinuity of integral functionals of the form \[ \mathcal{F}[u] := \int_{\Omega} f \bigg( \frac{1}{2} \bigl( \nabla u(x) + \nabla u(x)^T \bigr) \bigg)\,\mathrm{d} x, \qquad u : \Omega…

In this short note, we prove that all geodesically convex functions defined on a Riemannian manifold are continuous in the interior of their domain. This is a folklore result, but to the best of our knowledge, there is only one available…

The main result of this paper characterizes the continuity from below of monotone functionals on the space $C_b$ of bounded continuous functions on an arbitrary Polish space as lower semicontinuity in the mixed topology. In this particular…

A real valued function $f$ defined on a convex $K$ is anemconvex function iff it satisfies $$ f((x+y)/2) \le (f(x)+f(y))/2 + 1. $$ A thorough study of approximately convex functions is made. The principal results are a sharp universal upper…

Let $D^2 \subset C$ be a closed two-dimensional disk and $f:D^2 \to R$ be a continuous function such that a restriction of $f$ to $\partial D^2$ is a continuous function with a finite number of local extrema and $f$ has a finite number of…

This article deals with the lower compactness property of a sequence of integrands and the use of this key notion in various domains: convergence theory, optimal control, non-smooth analysis. First about the interchange of the weak…

We study countable saturation of the metric reduced products and introduce continuous fields of metric models indexed by locally compact, separable, completely metrizable spaces. Saturation of the reduced product depends both on the…

We characterize lower semicontinuity of integral functionals with respect to weak$^*$ convergence in $\mathrm{BV}$, including integrands whose negative part has linear growth. In addition, we allow for sequences without a fixed trace at the…

In this paper, we unify and improve existing results on characterizing strict and almost stricty convex functions via subdifferential mapping, Moreau envelope, and proximal mappings. In particular, it is shown that if a convex function is…

We investigate the possibility of replacing the topology of convergence in probability with convergence in $L^1$. A characterization of continuous linear functionals on the space of measurable functions is also obtained.

Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…

Here we develop a regularity theory for a polyconvex functional in $2\times2-$dimensional compressible finite elasticity. In particular, we consider energy minimizers/stationary points of the functional…

A weighted Hilbert space $F^2_{\varphi}$ of entire functions of $n$ variables is considered in the paper. The weight function $\varphi$ is a convex function on ${\mathbb C}^n$ depending on modules of variables and growing at infinity faster…

We consider the space $C_{\lambda}$ of all continuous interval maps preserving the Lebesgue measure $\lambda$. A continuous function $f\colon~[0,1]\to \mathbb R$ is called Besicovitch if it does not have any finite or infinite unilateral…

In the setting of a doubling metric measure space, we study regularity of sets with finite $s$-perimeter, that is, sets whose characteristic functions have finite Besov energy, with regularity parameter $0<s<1$ and exponent $p=1$. Following…
