We analyze integral representation and $\Gamma$-convergence properties of functionals defined on \emph{piecewise rigid functions}, i.e., functions which are piecewise affine on a Caccioppoli partition where the derivative in each component…

We prove that for a homogeneous linear partial differential operator $\mathcal A$ of order $k \le 2$ and an integrable map $f$ taking values in the essential range of that operator, there exists a function $u$ of special bounded variation…

We prove the density of polyhedral partitions in the set of finite Caccioppoli partitions. Precisely, we consider a decomposition $u$ of a bounded Lipschitz set $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$ into finitely many subsets of finite perimeter,…

Functions that are piecewise defined are a common sight in mathematics while convexity is a property especially desired in optimization. Suppose now a piecewise-defined function is convex on each of its defining components - when can we…

To every finite-dimensional $\mathbb C$-algebra $\Lambda$ of finite representation type we associate an affine variety. These varieties are a large generalization of the varieties defined by "$u$ variables" satisfying "$u$-equations", first…

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…

The necessary and sufficient conditions for a function to be totally or partially separable are derived. It is shown that a function is totally separable if and only if each component of the gradient vector of depends only on the…

We consider the following question arising in the theory of differential inclusions: given an elliptic set $\Gamma$ and a Sobolev map $u$ whose gradient lies in the quasiconformal envelope of $\Gamma$ and touches $\Gamma$ on a set of…

For a graph $G$ and partition $\mathcal{U}$ of its vertex set, an independent transversal of $(G, \mathcal{U})$ is an independent set of $G$ that contains one vertex from each block of $\mathcal{U}$. Buys, Kang, and Ozeki studied when a…

Consider a Henselian rank one valued field $K$ of equicharacteristic zero along with the language $\mathcal{L}^{P}$ of Denef--Pas. Let $f: A \to K$ be an $\mathcal{L}^{P}$-definable (with parameters) function on a subset $A$ of $K^{n}$. We…

Let $A$ be a finite-dimensional, commutative algebra over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$. The notion of $A$-differentiable functions on $A$ is extended to the notion of $A$-differentiable functions on a finitely generated $A$-module $B$. Let…

Local scaling of a set means that in a neighborhood of a point the structure of the set can be mapped into a finer scale structure of the set. These scaling transformations are compact sets of locally affine (that is: with uniformly…

We consider convex sets and functions over idempotent semifields, like the max-plus semifield. We show that if $K$ is a conditionally complete idempotent semifield, with completion $\bar{K}$, a convex function $K^n\to\bar{K}$ which is lower…

As an application of Brouwer's fixed-point theorem we prove that a continuously differentiable convex function with gradient of constant norm is an affine mapping. It is a first-order characterization of affine mappings among continuously…

A partition is finitary if all its members are finite. For a set $A$, $\mathscr{B}(A)$ denotes the set of all finitary partitions of $A$. It is shown consistent with $\mathsf{ZF}$ (without the axiom of choice) that there exist an infinite…

We approximate functionals depending on the gradient of $u$ and on the behaviour of $u$ near the discontinuity points, by families of non-local functionals where the gradient is replaced by finite differences. We prove pointwise…

Let $H$ be a subgroup of a partially ordered abelian group $G$ with order unit $u$, and let $S(G,u)$ denote the convex subset of $\bR^G$ consisting of all traces (states) $\tau$ on $G$ with $\tau(u)=1$. We say that $H$ has property $(B)$…

The nonzero level sets of a homogeneous, logarithmically homogeneous, or translationally homogeneous function are affine spheres if and only if the Hessian determinant of the function is a multiple of a power or an exponential of the…

If V is a representation of a linear algebraic group G, a set S of G-invariant regular functions on V is called separating if the following holds: If two elements v,v' from V can be separated by an invariant function, then there is an f…

Convex geometry has recently attracted great attention as a framework to formulate general probabilistic theories. In this framework, convex sets and affine maps represent the state spaces of physical systems and the possible dynamics,…
