A theorem of the alternative and a two‐function minimax theorem

open access: yesJournal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2004, Issue 2, Page 169-177, 2004., 2004
The two main results of the paper are a theorem of the alternative of Gordan type and a two‐function minimax theorem. Both are based on some weakened convexlike properties, without any vector space structure.

A note on convex functions

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 22, Issue 3, Page 525-534, 1999., 1999
In this paper, we give two weak conditions for a lower semi‐continuous function on the n‐dimensional Euclidean space Rn to be a convex function. We also present some results for convex functions, strictly convex functions, and quasi‐convex functions.

A primal-dual approach of weak vector equilibrium problems

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2018
In this paper we provide some new sufficient conditions that ensure the existence of the solution of a weak vector equilibrium problem in Hausdorff topological vector spaces ordered by a cone.

Polynomial bivariate copulas of degree five: characterization and some particular inequalities

open access: yesDependence Modeling, 2021
Bivariate polynomial copulas of degree 5 (containing the family of Eyraud-Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstern copulas) are in a one-to-one correspondence to certain real parameter triplets (a, b, c), i.e., to some set of polynomials in two variables of degree 1: p(

Transformations which preserve convexity

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 49-55, 1985., 1985
Let C be the class of convex nondecreasing functions f : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) which satisfy f(0) = 0. Marshall and Proschan [1] determine the one‐to‐one and onto functions ψ : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) such that g = ψ∘f∘ψ−1 belongs to C whenever f belongs to C. We study several natural models for multivariate extension of the Marshall‐Proschan result.

Regular operator mappings and multivariate geometric means [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We introduce the notion of regular operator mappings of several variables generalising the notion of spectral function. This setting is convenient for studying maps more general than what can be obtained from the functional calculus, and it allows for ...

Nonlinear Sherman-type inequalities

open access: yesAdvances in Nonlinear Analysis, 2018
An important class of Schur-convex functions is generated by convex functions via the well-known Hardy–Littlewood–Pólya–Karamata inequality. Sherman’s inequality is a natural generalization of the HLPK inequality.

Regularity Results for Eikonal-Type Equations with Nonsmooth Coefficients [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation $H(x,-Du(x))=1$, with $H(\cdot,p)$ H\"older continuous and $H(x,\cdot)$ convex and positively homogeneous of degree 1, are shown to be locally semiconcave with a power-like modulus. An essential step of the proof

Continued fractions built from convex sets and convex functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In a partially ordered semigroup with the duality (or polarity) transform, it is possible to define a generalisation of continued fractions. General sufficient conditions for convergence of continued fractions with deterministic terms are provided.

Characterization of the monotone polar of subdifferentials

open access: yes, 2013
We show that a point is solution of the Minty variational inequality of subdifferential type for a given function if and only if the function is increasing along rays starting from that point.
