A new type of orthogonality for normed planes

Horst Martini, Margarita Spirova (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we introduce a new type of orthogonality for real normed planes which coincides with usual orthogonality in the Euclidean situation. With the help of this type of orthogonality we derive several characterizations of the Euclidean plane among all normed planes, all of them yielding also characteristic properties of inner product spaces among real normed linear spaces of dimensions d 3 .

A note on equality of functional envelopes

Martin Kružík (2003)

Mathematica Bohemica

We characterize generalized extreme points of compact convex sets. In particular, we show that if the polyconvex hull is convex in m × n , min ( m , n ) 2 , then it is constructed from polyconvex extreme points via sequential lamination. Further, we give theorems ensuring equality of the quasiconvex (polyconvex) and the rank-1 convex envelopes of a lower semicontinuous function without explicit convexity assumptions on the quasiconvex (polyconvex) envelope.

A note on formal power series

Xiao-Xiong Gan, Dariusz Bugajewski (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this note we investigate a relationship between the boundary behavior of power series and the composition of formal power series. In particular, we prove that the composition domain of a formal power series g is convex and balanced which implies that the subset 𝕏 ¯ g consisting of formal power series which can be composed by a formal power series g possesses such properties. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the superposition operator T g to map 𝕏 ¯ g into itself or to map 𝕏 g into...

A note on how Rényi entropy can create a spectrum of probabilistic merging operators

Martin Adamčík (2019)

Kybernetika

In this paper we present a result that relates merging of closed convex sets of discrete probability functions respectively by the squared Euclidean distance and the Kullback-Leibler divergence, using an inspiration from the Rényi entropy. While selecting the probability function with the highest Shannon entropy appears to be a convincingly justified way of representing a closed convex set of probability functions, the discussion on how to represent several closed convex sets of probability functions...

A note on intersections of simplices

David A. Edwards, Ondřej F. K. Kalenda, Jiří Spurný (2011)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We provide a corrected proof of [1, Théorème 9] stating that any metrizable infinite-dimensional simplex is affinely homeomorphic to the intersection of a decreasing sequence of Bauer simplices.
