On the points of non-differentiability of convex functions

David Pavlica (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We characterize sets of non-differentiability points of convex functions on n . This completes (in n ) the result by Zajíček [2] which gives a characterization of the magnitude of these sets.

On the pointwise limits of sequences of Świątkowski functions

Tomasz Natkaniec, Julia Wódka (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The characterization of the pointwise limits of the sequences of Świątkowski functions is given. Modifications of Świątkowski property with respect to different topologies finer than the Euclidean topology are discussed.

On the power-series expansion of a rational function

D. V. Lee (1992)

Acta Arithmetica

Introduction. The problem of determining the formula for P S ( n ) , the number of partitions of an integer into elements of a finite set S, that is, the number of solutions in non-negative integers, h s , . . . , h s k , of the equation hs₁ s₁ + ... + hsk sk = n, was solved in the nineteenth century (see Sylvester [4] and Glaisher [3] for detailed accounts). The solution is the coefficient of x i n [(1-xs₁)... (1-xsk)]-1, expressions for which they derived. Wright [5] indicated a simpler method by which to find part of the solution...

On the proof of Erdős' inequality

Lai-Yi Zhu, Da-Peng Zhou (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Using undergraduate calculus, we give a direct elementary proof of a sharp Markov-type inequality p ' [ - 1 , 1 ] 1 2 p [ - 1 , 1 ] for a constrained polynomial p of degree at most n , initially claimed by P. Erdős, which is different from the one in the paper of T. Erdélyi (2015). Whereafter, we give the situations on which the equality holds. On the basis of this inequality, we study the monotone polynomial which has only real zeros all but one outside of the interval ( - 1 , 1 ) and establish a new asymptotically sharp inequality.

On the range of the derivative of a real-valued function with bounded support

T. Gaspari (2002)

Studia Mathematica

We study the set f’(X) = f’(x): x ∈ X when f:X → ℝ is a differentiable bump. We first prove that for any C²-smooth bump f: ℝ² → ℝ the range of the derivative of f must be the closure of its interior. Next we show that if X is an infinite-dimensional separable Banach space with a C p -smooth bump b:X → ℝ such that | | b ( p ) | | is finite, then any connected open subset of X* containing 0 is the range of the derivative of a C p -smooth bump. We also study the finite-dimensional case which is quite different. Finally,...

On the reduction of pairs of bounded closed convex sets

J. Grzybowski, D. Pallaschke, R. Urbański (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Let X be a Hausdorff topological vector space. For nonempty bounded closed convex sets A,B,C,D ⊂ X we denote by A ∔ B the closure of the algebraic sum A + B, and call the pairs (A,B) and (C,D) equivalent if A ∔ D = B ∔ C. We prove two main theorems on reduction of equivalent pairs. The first theorem implies that, in a finite-dimensional space, a pair of nonempty compact convex sets with a piecewise smooth boundary and parallel tangent spaces at some boundary points is not minimal. The second theorem...
