Approximations by differences of lower semicontinuous functions [PDF]

open access: yesTatra Mountains Mathematical Publications, 2015
Abstract A classical theorem of W. Sierpiński, S. Mazurkiewicz and S. Kempisty says that the class of all differences of lower semicontinuous functions is uniformly dense in the space of all Baire-one functions. We show a generalization of this result to more general situations and derive an abstract theorem in the case of a binormal ...

Unbounded Supersolutions of Nonlinear Equations with Nonstandard Growth

open access: yesBoundary Value Problems, 2007
We show that every weak supersolution of a variable exponent -Laplace equation is lower semicontinuous and that the singular set of such a function is of zero capacity if the exponent is logarithmically Hölder continuous.

Lower semicontinuity of the Willmore functional for currents

open access: yesJournal of Differential Geometry, 2009
The weak mean curvature is lower semicontinuous under weak convergence of varifolds that is if μk → μ weakly as varifolds then ‖ ~ Hμ ‖Lp(μ)≤ lim infk→∞ ‖ ~ Hμk ‖Lp(μk) . In contrast, if Tk → T weakly as integral currents then μT may not have locally bounded first variation even if ‖ ~ HμTk ‖L∞(μk) is bounded. In 1999, Luigi Ambrosio asked the question

Classification of Lipschitz Derivatives in Terms of Semicontinuity and the Baire Limit Functions

open access: yesAnnales Mathematicae Silesianae
We introduce the generalized notion of semicontinuity of a function defined on a topological space and derive the useful classification of the so-called Lipschitz derivatives of functions defined on a metric space.

Maximality Theorems on the Sum of Two Maximal Monotone Operators and Application to Variational Inequality Problems

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2016
Let X be a real locally uniformly convex reflexive Banach space with locally uniformly convex dual space X⁎. Let T:X⊇D(T)→2X⁎ and A:X⊇D(A)→2X⁎ be maximal monotone operators.

On Fr\'{e}chet Subdifferential of Supremum for Arbitrary Family of Continuous Functions

open access: yesИзвестия Иркутского государственного университета: Серия "Математика"
The paper focuses on the Fr\'{e}chet subdifferential of the pointwise supremum of the family of functions taken over arbitrary index sets. The all functions in the corresponding family are defined on a Fr\'{e}chet smooth space; this class of Banach ...

Finding quadratic underestimators for optimal value functions of nonconvex all-quadratic problems via copositive optimization

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization
Modeling parts of an optimization problem as an optimal value function that depends on a top-level decision variable is a regular occurrence in optimization and an essential ingredient for methods such as Benders Decomposition.

Weak Convergence of Robust Functions on Topological Groups

open access: yesMathematics
This paper introduces weak variants of level convergence (L-convergence) and epigraph convergence (E-convergence) for nets of level functions on general topological spaces, extending the classical metric and real-valued frameworks to ordered codomains ...

Saddle point theorems on generalized convex spaces

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2000
A sharpened extension of Komiya's saddle point theorem is obtained for generalized convex spaces. Moreover, we show that convexity of the involved sets in his theorem can be replaced by acyclicity, and continuity of the involved functions by lower and ...
