Let $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$ be the cone of all positive semidefinite $n\times n$ real matrices. We describe the form of all surjective maps on $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R}) $, $n\geq 3$, that preserve the minus partial order in both directions.

The main goal of this paper is to present results of existence and non-existence of convex functions on Riemannian manifolds and, in the case of the existence, we associate such functions to the geometry of the manifold. Precisely, we prove…

Let $G \subset {\mathbb R}^{n}$ be an open convex set which is either bounded or contains a translation of a convex cone with nonempty interior. It is known that then, for every modulus $\omega$, every function on $G$ which is both…

We first study Clarke's tangent cones at infinity to unbounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n.$ We prove that these cones are closed convex and show a characterization of their interiors. We then study subgradients at infinity for extended real…

Let $X$ be an ordered vector space. The net $\{x_\alpha\}\subseteq X$ is semi unbounded order convergent to $x$ (in symbol $x_\alpha\xrightarrow{suo}x$), if there is a net $\{y_\beta\}$, possibly over a different index set, such that…

It is shown that shape preservation is decidable for top-down tree transducers, bottom-up tree transducers, and for compositions of total deterministic macro tree transducers. Moreover, if a transducer is shape preserving, then it can be…

Chapter 1 deals with the problem of the existence of an upper/lower envelope from a convex cone or, more generally, a convex set for functions on the projective limit of vector lattices with values in the completion of the Kantorovich space…

On a bounded smooth pseudoconvex domain in $\mathbb{C}^n$ with $n >2$, inspired by the compactness condition introduced by Yue Zhang, we present the new sufficient condition for the exact regularity of the $\overline\partial$-Neumann…

We give an extension to a nonconvex setting of the classical radial representation result for lower semicontinuous envelope of a convex function on the boundary of its effective domain. We introduce the concept of radial uniform upper…

The paper studies complementary choice functions, i.e. monotonic and consistent choice functions. Such choice functions were introduced and used in the work \cite{RY} for investigation of matchings with complementary contracts. Three…

In this paper, we propose a new approach to design globally convergent reduced-order observers for nonlinear control systems via contraction analysis and convex optimization. Despite the fact that contraction is a concept naturally suitable…

In this paper, we consider the problem of order preservation under addition and multiplication operators over the vector space of univariate real-valued random variables. Consistent with the case of usual order over the real numbers-as…

In this paper, we readdress the classical topic of second-order sufficient optimality conditions for optimization problems with nonsmooth structure. Based on the so-called second subderivative of the objective function and of the indicator…

Let $\mathcal{CT}_n$ be the semigroup of full contraction mappings on $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$, and let $\mathcal{OCT}_n$ and $\mathcal{ODCT}_n$ be the subsemigroups consisting of all order-preserving full contraction and subsemigroup of…

This paper is concerned with a PDE approach to horizontally quasiconvex (h-quasiconvex) functions in the Heisenberg group based on a nonlinear second order elliptic operator. We discuss sufficient conditions and necessary conditions for…

The first part of the paper provides new characterizations of the normal cone to the effective domain of the supremum of an arbitrary family of convex functions. These results are applied in the second part to give new formulas for the…

We prove an abstract criterion that a surjective convolution operator in spaces of analytic functions on convex subsets of the complex plane has a continuous linear right inverse. Considered convex sets have a countable neighborhood basis…

Let $Y$ be a subspace of a topological vector space $X$, and $A\subset X$ an open convex set that intersects $Y$. We say that the property $(QE)$ [property $(CE)$] holds if every continuous quasiconvex [continuous convex] function on $A\cap…

The purpose of this paper is to provide tools for analyzing the compactness of sequences in Sobolev spaces, in particular if the sequence gets mapped onto a compact set by some nonlinear operator. Here, our focus lies on a very general…

In this paper we continue the study initiated by Gurariy and Quarta in 2004 on the existence of linear spaces formed, up to the null vector, by continuous functions that attain the maximum only at one point. Inserting a topological flavor…
