Means and generalized means.
For a differentiable function where is a real interval and , a counterpart of the Lagrange mean-value theorem is presented. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a mean such that are given. Similar considerations for a theorem accompanying the Lagrange mean-value theorem are presented.
In [6], Guy David introduced some methods for finding controlled behavior in Lipschitz mappings with substantial images (in terms of measure). Under suitable conditions, David produces subsets on which the given mapping is bilipschitz, with uniform bounds for the bilipschitz constant and the size of the subset. This has applications for boundedness of singular integral operators and uniform rectifiability of sets, as in [6], [7], [11], [13]. Some special cases of David's results, concerning projections...
Properties of metrically convex functions in normed spaces (of any dimension) are considered. The main result, Theorem 4.2, gives necessary and sufficient conditions for a function to be metrically convex, expressed in terms of the classical convexity theory.
