The flux function in the Buckley-Leverett equation, that is, the function characterizing the ratio of the relative mobility functions of the two phases, is considered. The common conjecture stating that any convex mobilities result in an…

Suppose that $f: \bR^n\to\bR^n$ is a mapping of $K$-bounded $p$-mean distortion for some $p>n-1$. We prove the equivalence of the following properties of $f$: doubling condition for $J(x,f)$ over big balls centered at origin, boundedness of…

We consider the class of smooth convex functions defined over an open convex set. We show that this class is essentially different than the class of smooth convex functions defined over the entire linear space by exhibiting a function that…

We consider a homogeneous system of linear equations of the form $A_\alpha^{\otimes N} {\bf x} = 0$ arising from the distinguishability of two quantum operations by $N$ uses in parallel, where the coefficient matrix $A_\alpha$ depends on a…

Let R+ = (0,infinity) and let M be the family of all mean values of two numbers in R+ (some examples are the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means). Given m1, m2 in M, we say that a function f : R+ to R+ is (m1,m2)-convex if f(m1(x,y))…

In this paper we show how the superquadratic functions can be used as a tool for researching other types of convex functions like $\phi $-convexity, strong-convexity and uniform convexity. We show how to use inequalities satisfied by…

Let $p$ be a polynomial in the non-commuting variables $(a,x)=(a_1,...,a_{g_a},x_1,...,x_{g_x})$. If $p$ is convex in the variables $x$, then $p$ has degree two in $x$ and moreover, $p$ has the form $p = L + \Lambda ^T \Lambda,$ where $L$…

We provide a simple proof for the Fenchel duality between strong convexity and Lipschitz continuous gradient. To this end, we first establish equivalent conditions of convexity for a general function that may not be differentiable. By…

Given a strictly positive measure, we characterize inner semicontinuous solid convex-valued mappings for which continuous functions which are selections almost everywhere are selections. This class contains continuous mappings as well as…

Some new bounds for the Chebychev functional of a pair of vectors in inner product spaces are pointed out. Reverses for the celebrated Jensen's inequality for convex functions defined on inner product spaces are given as well.
