In this paper, we study the deformation of the intersection of one compact set with a closed neighborhood of another compact set by changing the radius of this neighborhood. It is shown that in finite-dimensional normed spaces, in the case…

This article introduces innovative classes of open sets in \(\mathbb{R}^{N}\), where \(N=2, 3\), characterized by a geometric property associated with the inward normal. The focus lies on proving compactness results for the Hausdorff…

This paper introduces a new subtraction operation for convex sets, which defines their difference as a collection of inclusion-minimal convex sets with appropriate definitions of linear operations on them. With these operations the set of…

The class of convex sets that admit approximations as Minkowski sum of a compact convex set and a closed convex cone in the Hausdorff distance is introduced. These sets are called approximately Motzkin-decomposable and generalize the notion…

In this paper it is proved that near a compact, invariant, proper subset of a continuous flow on a compact, connected metric space, at least one, out of twenty eight relevant dynamical phenomena, will necessarily occur. This result shows…

We consider symmetry operations on the four-dimensional vector space that is spanned by the local versions of the Minkowski functionals (or fundamental measures): volume, surface, integral mean curvature, and Euler characteristic, of an…

This paper extends the Kadison duality between compact convex sets and function systems to the setting of partial convexity. A partially convex set is a set that is convex in a designated set of convex variables when the others are held…

We introduce a new operation between nonnegative integrable functions on $\mathbb{R} ^n$, that we call geometric combination; it is obtained via a mass transportation approach, playing with inverse distribution functions. The main feature…

Suppose that $f$ belongs to a suitably defined complete metric space $ {{\cal C}}^{{\alpha}}$ of H\"older $ {\alpha}$-functions defined on $[0,1]$. We are interested in whether one can find large (in the sense of Hausdorff, or lower/upper…

Given a topological group $ G $ and a Hausdorff topological group $ A $ on which $ G $ acts continuously and compatibly with the group operation of $ A $, we study the set of continuous cocycles of $ G $ with value in $ A $. This set is a…

Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…

Let C(K) denote the Banach algebra of continuous real functions, with the supremum norm, on a compact Hausdorff space K. For two subsets of C(K), one can define their product by pointwise multiplication, just as the Minkowski sum of the…

The general dual volume $\dveV(K)$ and the general dual Orlicz curvature measure $\deV(K, \cdot)$ were recently introduced for functions $G: (0, \infty)\times \sphere\rightarrow (0, \infty)$ and convex bodies $K$ in $\R^n$ containing the…

In the literature, the Minkowski-sum and the metric-sum of compact sets are highlighted. While the first is associative, the latter is not. But the major drawback of the Minkowski combination is that, by increasing the number of summands,…

We consider the following question: How much of the combinatorial structure determining properties of $\overline{\mathcal{M}_{0, n}}$ is ``intrinsic'' and how much new information do we obtain from using properties specific to this space?…

We characterize inclusions of compact noncommutative convex sets with the property that every continuous affine function on the smaller set can be extended to a continuous affine function on the larger set with a uniform bound. As an…

We show that the operations addition and multiplication on the set $C(\Omega)$ of all real continuous functions on $\Omega\subseteq\mathbb{R}^n$ can be extended to the set $\mathbb{H}(\Omega)$ of all Hausdorff continuous interval functions…

The concept of an $i$-symmetrization is introduced, which provides a convenient framework for most of the familiar symmetrization processes on convex sets. Various properties of $i$-symmetrizations are introduced and the relations between…

In this paper we establish a general framework in which the verification of support theorems for generalized convex functions acting between an algebraic structure and an ordered algebraic structure is still possible. As for the domain…

The Gauss-Minkowski correspondence in $\mathbb{R}^2$ states the existence of a homeomorphism between the probability measures $\mu$ on $[0,2\pi]$ such that $\int_0^{2\pi} e^{ix}d\mu(x)=0$ and the compact convex sets (CCS) of the plane with…
