Convex functions on Carnot Groups
2007
We consider the definition and regularity properties of convex functions in Carnot groups. We show that various notions of convexity in the subelliptic setting that have appeared in the literature are equivalent. Our point of view is based on thinking of convex functions as subsolutions of homogeneous elliptic equations.
Riemann type integrals for functions taking values in a locally convex space
2006
The McShane and Kurzweil-Henstock integrals for functions taking values in a locally convex space are defined and the relations with other integrals are studied. A characterization of locally convex spaces in which Henstock Lemma holds is given.
On some close to convex functions with negative coefficients
2007
In this paper we propose for study a class of close to convex functions with negative coefficients defined by using a modified Salagean operator. .
Shape optimization for monge-ampére equations via domain derivative
2011
In this note we prove that, if $\Omega$ is a smooth, strictly convex, open set in $R^n$ $(n \ge 2)$ with given measure, the $L^1$ norm of the convex solution to the Dirichlet problem $\det D^2 u=1$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, is minimum whenever $\Omega$ is an ellipsoid.
Analytic Extension of Non Quasi - Analytic Whitney Jets of Beurling Type
1998
Let (Mr)r∈ℕ0 be a logarithmically convex sequence of positive numbers which verifies M0 = 1 as well as Mr ≥ 1 for every r ∈ ℕ and defines a non quasi - analytic class. Let moreover F be a closed proper subset of ℝn. Then for every function f on ℝn belonging to the non quasi - analytic (Mr)-class of Beurling type, there is an element g of the same class which is analytic on ℝ,nF and such that Dαf(x) = Dαg(x) for every α ∈ ℕn0 and x ∈ F.
Approximate convex hull of affine iterated function system attractors
2012
International audience; In this paper, we present an algorithm to construct an approximate convex hull of the attractors of an affine iterated function system (IFS). We construct a sequence of convex hull approximations for any required precision using the self-similarity property of the attractor in order to optimize calculations. Due to the affine properties of IFS transformations, the number of points considered in the construction is reduced. The time complexity of our algorithm is a linear function of the number of iterations and the number of points in the output convex hull. The number of iterations and the execution time increases logarithmically with increasing accuracy. In additio…
Geometric Properties of Planar BV -Extension Domains
2009
We investigate geometric properties of those planar domains that are extension for functions with bounded variation.We start from a characterization of such domains given by Burago–Maz'ya and prove that a bounded, simply connected domain is a BV -extension domain if and only if its com- plement is quasiconvex. We further prove that the extension property is a bi-Lipschitz invariant and give applications to Sobolev extension domains.
Perimeter symmetrization of some dynamic and stationary equations involving the Monge-Ampère operator
2017
We apply the perimeter symmetrization to a two-dimensional pseudo-parabolic dynamic problem associated to the Monge-Ampere operator as well as to the second order elliptic problem which arises after an implicit time discretization of the dynamical equation. Curiously, the dynamical problem corresponds to a third order operator but becomes a singular second order parabolic equation (involving the 3-Laplacian operator) in the class of radially symmetric convex functions. Using symmetrization techniques some quantitative comparison estimates and several qualitative properties of solutions are given.
Efficiency in constrained continuous location
1998
Abstract We present a geometrical characterization of the efficient, weakly efficient and strictly efficient points for multi-objective location problems in presence of convex constraints and when distances are measured by an arbitrary norm. These results, established for a compact set of demand points, generalize similar characterizations previously obtained for uncontrained problems. They are used to show that, in planar problems, the set of constrained weakly efficient points always coincides with the closest projection of the set of unconstrained weakly efficient points onto the feasible set. This projection property which are known previously only for strictly convex norms, allows to e…
Bounded Palais–Smale sequences for non-differentiable functions
2011
The existence of bounded Palais-Smale sequences (briefly BPS) for functionals depending on a parameter belonging to a real interval and which are the sum of a locally Lipschitz continuous term and of a convex, proper, lower semicontinuous function, is obtained when the parameter runs in a full measure subset of the given interval. Specifically, for this class of non-smooth functions, we obtain BPS related to mountain pass and to global infima levels. This is done by developing a unifying approach, which applies to both cases and relies on a suitable deformation lemma. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
