We introduce notions of concavity for functions on balanced polyhedral spaces, and we show that concave functions on such spaces satisfy several strong continuity properties.
Let $\Bc$ denote the real-valued functions continuous on the extended real line and vanishing at $-\infty$. Let $\Br$ denote the functions that are left continuous, have a right limit at each point and vanish at $-\infty$. Define $\acn$ to…
We introduce the notion centre of a convex set and study the space of continuous affine functions on a compact convex set with a centre. We show that these spaces are precisely the dual of a base normed space in which the underlying base…
Extending classical results on polytopal approximation of convex bodies, we derive asymptotic formulas for the weighted approximation of smooth convex functions by piecewise affine convex functions as the number of their facets tends to…
We introduce an (equi-)affine invariant diffusion geometry by which surfaces that go through squeeze and shear transformations can still be properly analyzed. The definition of an affine invariant metric enables us to construct an invariant…
We focus on a branch of region-based spatial logics dealing with affine geometry. The research on this topic is scarce: only a handful of papers investigate such systems, mostly in the case of the real plane. Our long-term goal is to…
In this article we propose a conception of mixed limits of functional spaces as the case, when the upper limit (projective limit of inductive limits) and the lower limit (inductive limit of projective limits) coincide as topological spaces,…
Recently $S_{b}$-metric spaces have been introduced as the generalizations of metric and $S$-metric spaces. In this paper we investigate some basic properties of this new space. We generalize the classical Banach's contraction principle…
We determine those maps between affine or projective spaces that are linear in the abstract sense of transforming collinear points into collinear points and whose restriction to any line is constant or injective. Our results are extensions…
We give a statement on extension with estimates of convex functions defined on a linear subspace, inspired by similar extension results concerning metrics on positive line bundles
We introduce the notion of tiling spaces for metric spaces. The class of tiling spaces contains the Euclidean spaces, the middle-third Cantor set, and various self-similar spaces appearing in fractal geometry. For doubling tiling spaces, we…
We show that under minimal assumptions, the intrinsic metric induced by a strongly local Dirichlet form induces a length space. A main input is a dual characterization of length spaces in terms of the property that the 1-Lipschitz functions…
We study dentable maps from a closed convex subset of a Banach space into a metric space as an attempt of generalize the Radon-Nikod\'ym property to a "less linear" frame. We note that a certain part of the theory can be developed in rather…
Diversities are an extension of the concept of a metric space which assign a non-negative value to every finite set of points, rather than just pairs. A general theory of diversities has been developed which exhibits many deep analogies to…
A notion of heaps of modules as an affine version of modules over a ring or, more generally, over a truss, is introduced and studied. Basic properties of heaps of modules are derived. Examples arising from geometry (connections, affine…
We study universal approximation of continuous functionals on compact subsets of products of Hilbert spaces. We prove that any such functional can be uniformly approximated by models that first take finitely many continuous linear…
We study CAT(kappa) spaces X admitting affine functions. We show that there exists a canonical isometric embedding X -> Y x H where H is a Hilbert space, such that every affine function f: X -> R factors as f'o p, where p is the projection…
A polarity notion for sets in a Banach space is introduced in such a way that the second polar of a set coincides with the smallest strongly convex set with respect to R that contains it. Strongly convex sets are characterized in terms of…
In this paper we study set convergence aspects for Banach spaces of vector-valued measures with divergences (represented by measures or by functions) and applications. We consider a form of normal trace characterization to establish…
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,…
