We provide a complete characterization of closed sets with empty interior and positive reach in $\mathbb{R}^2$. As a consequence, we characterize open bounded domains in $\mathbb{R}^2$ whose high ridge and cut locus agree, and hence $C^1$…
The starting assumptions to study the convergence and complexity of gradient-type methods may be the smoothness (also called Lipschitz continuity of gradient) and the strong convexity. In this note, we revisit these two basic properties…
A class theorem is presented and proved: the complex Fourier transforms of a certain class of exponential functions have all their zeros on the real line. A class of basis functions is first considered, and the class is then extended via…
In the present paper, the following convexity principle is proved: any closed convex multifunction, which is metrically regular in a certain uniform sense near a given point, carries small balls centered at that point to convex sets, even…
The Polyak-{\L}ojasiewicz (P{\L}) inequality extends the favorable optimization properties of strongly convex functions to a broader class of functions. In this paper, we prove a theorem (also obtained by Criscitiello, Rebjock and Boumal in…
The notion of meromorphic convexity is defined and studied on complex manifolds. Using this notion, in analogy with Stein manifolds, a new class of complex manifolds, called {\calligra M }-manifolds, is introduced. This is a class of…
We prove several sharp distortion and monotonicity theorems for spherically convex functions defined on the unit disk involving geometric quantities such as spherical length, spherical area and total spherical curvature. These results can…
The notions of quasiconvexity, Wright convexity and convexity for functions defined on a metric Abelian group are introduced. Various characterizations of such functions, the structural properties of the functions classes so obtained are…
Let $\mathbb{H}$ be a Hilbert space, $E \subset \mathbb{H}$ be an arbitrary subset and $f: E \rightarrow \mathbb{R}, \: G: E \rightarrow \mathbb{H}$ be two functions. We give a necessary and sufficient condition on the pair $(f,G)$ for the…
We treat the classical notion of convexity in the context of hard real analysis. Definitions of the concept are given in terms of defining functions and quadratic forms, and characterizations are provided of different concrete notions of…
This paper studies system theoretic properties of the class of difference inclusions of convex processes. We will develop a framework considering eigenvalues and eigenvectors, weakly and strongly invariant cones, and a decomposition of…
The generalized divided differences are introduced. They are applied to investigate some properties characterizing generalized higher-order convexity. Among others some support-type property is proved.
In this paper, pointwise convergence, uniform convergence and compact convergence of sequences of holomorphic functions on an open subset of the complex plane are compared from a linear point of view. In fact, it is proved the existence of…
We introduce and study a new class of $\eps$-convex bodies (extending the class of convex bodies) in metric and normed linear spaces. We analyze relations between characteristic properties of convex bodies, demonstrate how $\eps$-convex…
We revisit the classical dual ascent algorithm for minimization of convex functionals in the presence of linear constraints, and give convergence results which apply even for non-convex functionals. We describe limit points in terms of the…
In this paper, we give more general definitions of weighted means and MN-convex functions. Using these definitions, we also obtain some generalized results related to properties of MN-convex functions. The importance of this study is that…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of nearly convex set-valued mappings and investigate fundamental properties of these mappings. Additionally, we establish a geometric approach for generalized differentiation of nearly convex…
We consider composite loss functions for multiclass prediction comprising a proper (i.e., Fisher-consistent) loss over probability distributions and an inverse link function. We establish conditions for their (strong) convexity and explore…
We continue the analysis in [3] of matrix convex functions of a fixed order defined in a real interval by differential methods as opposed to the characterization in terms of divided differences given by Kraus [5]. We amend and improve some…
We first provide an approach to the recent conjecture of Bierstone-Milman-Pawlucki on Whitney's old problem on smooth extendability of functions defined on a closed subset of a Euclidean space, using higher order paratangent bundle they…
