Let (X,d) be a metric space. Let Φ be a linear family of real-valued functions defined on X. Let $\Gamma :X\to 2^{\Phi }$ be a maximal cyclic α(·)-monotone multifunction with non-empty values. We give a sufficient condition on α(·) and Φ for the following generalization of the Rockafellar theorem to hold. There is a function f on X, weakly Φ-convex with modulus α(·), such that Γ is the weak Φ-subdifferential of f with modulus α(·), $\Gamma \left(x\right)={\partial }_{\Phi }^{-\alpha }{f|}_x$.

The behavior of special classes of isometric foldings of the Riemannian sphere $S^2$ under the action of angular conformal deformations is considered. It is shown that within these classes any isometric folding is continuously deformable into the standard spherical isometric folding $f_s$ defined by $f_s(x,y,z)=(x,y,|z\left|\right)$.

In Rolewicz (2002) it was proved that every strongly α(·)-paraconvex function defined on an open convex set in a separable Asplund space is Fréchet differentiable on a residual set. In this paper it is shown that the assumption of separability is not essential.

Let be a Euclidean space or the Hilbert space ℓ², let k ∈ ℕ with k < dim , and let B be convex and closed in . Let be a collection of linear k-subspaces of . A set C ⊂ is called a -imitation of B if B and C have identical orthogonal projections along every P ∈ . An extremal point of B with respect to the projections under is a point that all closed subsets of B that are -imitations of B have in common. A point x of B is called exposed by if there is a P ∈ such that (x+P) ∩ B = x. In the present...

Let $\beta \&gt;1$ be an algebraic number. We study the strings of zeros (“gaps”) in the Rényi $\beta$-expansion  $d_{\beta }\left(1\right)$ of unity which controls the set ${\mathbb{Z}}_{\beta }$ of $\beta$-integers. Using a version of Liouville’s inequality which extends Mahler’s and Güting’s approximation theorems, the strings of zeros in $d_{\beta }\left(1\right)$ are shown to exhibit a “gappiness” asymptotically bounded above by  $log\left(\mathrm{M}\right(\beta \left)\right)/log\left(\beta \right)$, where  $\mathrm{M}\left(\beta \right)$  is the Mahler measure of  $\beta$. The proof of this result provides in a natural way a new classification of algebraic numbers $\&gt;1$ with classes called Q...

We are interested in Gaussian versions of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality. We prove in a streamlined way a semigroup version of the Ehrhard inequality for m Borel or convex sets based on a previous work by Borell. Our method also yields semigroup proofs of the geometric Brascamp-Lieb inequality and of its reverse form, which follow exactly the same lines.

The aim of the paper is to present three-variable generalizations of fuzzy metric spaces in sense of George and Veeramani from functional and topological points of view, respectively. From the viewpoint of functional generalization, we introduce a notion of generalized fuzzy 2-metric spaces, study their topological properties, and point out that it is also a common generalization of both tripled fuzzy metric spaces proposed by Tian et al. and $ℳ$-fuzzy metric spaces proposed by Sedghi and Shobe. Since...

Seeds of sunflowers are often modelled by $n⟼{\varphi }_{\theta }\left(n\right)=\sqrt{n}{e}^{2i\pi n\theta }$ leading to a roughly uniform repartition with seeds indexed by consecutive integers at angular distance $2\pi \theta$ for $\theta$ the golden ratio. We associate to such a map ${\varphi }_{\theta }$ a geodesic path ${\gamma }_{\theta }:{ℝ}_{\&gt;0}⟶{\mathrm{PSL}}_2\left(\mathbb{Z}\right)\setminus ℍ$ of the modular curve and use it for local descriptions of the image ${\varphi }_{\theta }\left(\mathbb{N}\right)$ of the phyllotactic map ${\varphi }_{\theta }$.
