This is a significantly improved version with new applications. We show that there are many cohomogeneity one manifolds which do not admit an analytic invariant metric with non-negative sectional curvature, although they do have a smooth…

This paper considers the problem of smoothing convex functions and sets, seeking the nearest smooth convex function or set to a given one. For convex cones and sublinear functions, a full characterization of the set of all optimal…

It is the aim of this article to determine curvature quantities of an arbitrary Riemannian monotone metric on the space of positive matrices resp. nonsingular density matrices. Special interest is focused on the scalar curvature due to its…

In this note we study contractivity of monotone systems and exponential convergence of positive systems using non-Euclidean norms. We first introduce the notion of conic matrix measure as a framework to study stability of monotone and…

In the paper we define the convergence of compact fuzzy sets as a convergence of alpha-cuts in the topology of compact subsets of a metric space. Furthermore we define typical convergences of fuzzy variables and show relations with…

We construct examples of singular self-dual Zollfrei metrics explicitly, by patching a pair of Petean's self-dual split-signature metrics. We prove that there is a natural one-to-one correspondence between these singular metrics and a…

Numerical solutions of differential equations are usually not smooth functions. However, they should resemble the smoothness of the corresponding real solutions in one way or another. In two of our recent papers, a kind of spacial…

We study the smoothness of the stationary measure with respect to smooth perturbations of the iterated function scheme and the weight functions that define it. Our main theorems relate the smoothness of the perturbation of: the iterated…

Convex regression (CR) is the problem of fitting a convex function to a finite number of noisy observations of an underlying convex function. CR is important in many domains and one of its workhorses is the non-parametric least square…

We characterize the model spaces $K_\Theta$ in which functions with smooth boundary extensions are dense. It is shown that such approximations are possible if and only if the singular measure associated to the singular inner factor of…

We characterize Radon measures $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ that are $d$-rectifiable in the sense that their supports are covered up to $\mu$-measure zero by countably many $d$-dimensional Lipschitz graphs and $\mu \ll \mathcal{H}^{d}$. The…

There are several notions of a smooth map from a convex set to a cartesian space. Some of these notions coincide, but not all of them do. We construct a real-valued function on a convex subset of the plane that does not extend to a smooth…

We give a local characterization of the class of functions having positive distributional derivative with respect to $\bar{z}$ that are almost everywhere equal to one of finitely many analytic functions and satisfy some mild non-degeneracy…

Multivariate spatial field data are increasingly common and whose modeling typically relies on building cross-covariance functions to describe cross-process relationships. An alternative viewpoint is to model the matrix of spectral…

This work adresses the question of density of piecewise constant (resp. rigid) functions in the space of vector valued functions with bounded variation (resp. deformation) with respect to the strict convergence. Such an approximation…

Uniform measures are defined as the functionals on the space of bounded uniformly continuous functions that are continuous on bounded uniformly equicontinuous sets. If every cardinal has measure zero then every countably additive measure is…

In this paper we define and study signed deficient topological measures and signed topological measures (which generalize signed measures) on locally compact spaces. We prove that a signed deficient topological measure is $\tau$-smooth on…

Reasoning with fuzzy sets can be achieved through measures such as similarity and distance. However, these measures can often give misleading results when considered independently, for example giving the same value for two different pairs…

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…

In this article we obtain a fundamental measure functional for the model of aligned hard hexagons in the plane. Our aim is not just to provide a functional for a new, admittedly academic, model, but to investigate the structure of…
