Convex integration with constraints and applications to phase transitions and partial differential equations

Stefan Müller, Vladimír Šverák (1999)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We study solutions of first order partial differential relations $D u \in K$ , where $u : Ω \subset ℝ^{n} \to ℝ^{m}$ is a Lipschitz map and $K$ is a bounded set in $m \times n$ matrices, and extend Gromov’s theory of convex integration in two ways. First, we allow for additional constraints on the minors of $D u$ and second we replace Gromov’s $P$ −convex hull by the (functional) rank-one convex hull. The latter can be much larger than the former and this has important consequences for the existence of ‘wild’ solutions to elliptic systems. Our...

The Young inequality and the Δ₂-condition

Philippe Laurençot (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

If φ: [0,∞) → [0,∞) is a convex function with φ(0) = 0 and conjugate function φ*, the inequality $x y \leq ε φ (x) + C_{ε} φ * (y)$ is shown to hold true for every ε ∈ (0,∞) if and only if φ* satisfies the Δ₂-condition.

Minimal multi-convex projections

Grzegorz Lewicki, Michael Prophet (2007)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We say that a function from $X = C^{L} [0, 1]$ is k-convex (for k ≤ L) if its kth derivative is nonnegative. Let P denote a projection from X onto V = Πₙ ⊂ X, where Πₙ denotes the space of algebraic polynomials of degree less than or equal to n. If we want P to leave invariant the cone of k-convex functions (k ≤ n), we find that such a demand is impossible to fulfill for nearly every k. Indeed, only for k = n-1 and k = n does such a projection exist. So let us consider instead a more general “shape”...

Poincaré Inequalities and Moment Maps

Bo’az Klartag (2013)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We discuss a method for obtaining Poincaré-type inequalities on arbitrary convex bodies in $ℝ^{n}$ . Our technique involves a dual version of Bochner’s formula and a certain moment map, and it also applies to some non-convex sets. In particular, we generalize the central limit theorem for convex bodies to a class of non-convex domains, including the unit balls of $ℓ_{p}$ -spaces in $ℝ^{n}$ for $0 < p < 1$ .

The Spaces of Closed Convex Sets in Euclidean Spaces with the Fell Topology

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

Let $C o n v_{F} (ℝ ⁿ)$ be the space of all non-empty closed convex sets in Euclidean space ℝ ⁿ endowed with the Fell topology. We prove that $C o n v_{F} (ℝ ⁿ) \approx ℝ ⁿ \times Q$ for every n > 1 whereas $C o n v_{F} (ℝ) \approx ℝ \times$ .

On the ψ₂-behaviour of linear functionals on isotropic convex bodies

G. Paouris (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The slicing problem can be reduced to the study of isotropic convex bodies K with $d i a m (K) \leq c \sqrt n L_{K}$ , where $L_{K}$ is the isotropic constant. We study the ψ₂-behaviour of linear functionals on this class of bodies. It is proved that ${| | ⟨ \cdot, θ ⟩ | |}_{ψ ₂} \leq C L_{K}$ for all θ in a subset U of $S^{n - 1}$ with measure σ(U) ≥ 1 - exp(-c√n). However, there exist isotropic convex bodies K with uniformly bounded geometric distance from the Euclidean ball, such that $m a x_{θ \in S^{n - 1}} {| | ⟨ \cdot, θ ⟩ | |}_{ψ ₂} \geq c ∜ n L_{K}$ . In a different direction, we show that good average ψ₂-behaviour of linear functionals...

Differentiation of n-convex functions

H. Fejzić, R. E. Svetic, C. E. Weil (2010)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The main result of this paper is that if f is n-convex on a measurable subset E of ℝ, then f is n-2 times differentiable, n-2 times Peano differentiable and the corresponding derivatives are equal, and $f^{(n - 1)} = f_{(n - 1)}$ except on a countable set. Moreover $f_{(n - 1)}$ is approximately differentiable with approximate derivative equal to the nth approximate Peano derivative of f almost everywhere.

Operations between sets in geometry

Richard J. Gardner, Daniel Hug, Wolfgang Weil (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

An investigation is launched into the fundamental characteristics of operations on and between sets, with a focus on compact convex sets and star sets (compact sets star-shaped with respect to the origin) in $n$ -dimensional Euclidean space $ℝ^{n}$ . It is proved that if $n \geq 2$ , with three trivial exceptions, an operation between origin-symmetric compact convex sets is continuous in the Hausdorff metric, $G L (n)$ covariant, and associative if and only if it is $L_{p}$ addition for some $1 \leq p \leq \infty$ . It is also demonstrated...

Some characterization of locally nonconical convex sets

Witold Seredyński (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A closed convex set $Q$ in a local convex topological Hausdorff spaces $X$ is called locally nonconical (LNC) if for every $x, y \in Q$ there exists an open neighbourhood $U$ of $x$ such that $(U \cap Q) + \frac{1}{2} (y - x) \subset Q$ . A set $Q$ is local cylindric (LC) if for $x, y \in Q$ , $x \neq y$ , $z \in (x, y)$ there exists an open neighbourhood $U$ of $z$ such that $U \cap Q$ (equivalently: $b d (Q) \cap U$ ) is a union of open segments parallel to $[x, y]$ . In this paper we prove that these two notions are equivalent. The properties LNC and LC were investigated in [3], where the implication $L N C \Rightarrow L C$ was proved in...

Product property for capacities in $ℂ^{N}$

Mirosław Baran, Leokadia Bialas-Ciez (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

The paper deals with logarithmic capacities, an important tool in pluripotential theory. We show that a class of capacities, which contains the L-capacity, has the following product property: $C_{ν} (E ₁ \times E ₂) = m i n (C_{ν ₁} (E ₁), C_{ν ₂} (E ₂))$ , where $E_{j}$ and $ν_{j}$ are respectively a compact set and a norm in $ℂ^{N_{j}}$ (j = 1,2), and ν is a norm in $ℂ^{N ₁ + N ₂}$ , ν = ν₁⊕ₚ ν₂ with some 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞. For a convex subset E of $ℂ^{N}$ , denote by C(E) the standard L-capacity and by $ω_{E}$ the minimal width of E, that is, the minimal Euclidean distance between two supporting hyperplanes...

Countably convex $G_{δ}$ sets

Vladimir Fonf, Menachem Kojman (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate countably convex $G_{δ}$ subsets of Banach spaces. A subset of a linear space is countably convex if it can be represented as a countable union of convex sets. A known sufficient condition for countable convexity of an arbitrary subset of a separable normed space is that it does not contain a semi-clique [9]. A semi-clique in a set S is a subset P ⊆ S so that for every x ∈ P and open neighborhood u of x there exists a finite set X ⊆ P ∩ u such that conv(X) ⊈ S. For closed sets...
