On Bárány's theorems of Carathéodory and Helly type

Ehrhard Behrends (2000)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

The paper begins with a self-contained and short development of Bárány’s theorems of Carathéodory and Helly type in finite-dimensional spaces together with some new variants. In the second half the possible generalizations of these results to arbitrary Banach spaces are investigated. The Carathéodory-Bárány theorem has a counterpart in arbitrary dimensions under suitable uniform compactness or uniform boundedness conditions. The proper generalization of the Helly-Bárány theorem reads...

A "hidden" characterization of approximatively polyhedral convex sets in Banach spaces

Taras Banakh, Ivan Hetman (2012)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

A closed convex subset C of a Banach space X is called approximatively polyhedral if for each ε > 0 there is a polyhedral (= intersection of finitely many closed half-spaces) convex set P ⊂ X at Hausdorff distance < ε from C. We characterize approximatively polyhedral convex sets in Banach spaces and apply the characterization to show that a connected component of the space C o n v ( X ) of closed convex subsets of X endowed with the Hausdorff metric is separable if and only if contains a...

The cancellation law for inf-convolution of convex functions

Dariusz Zagrodny (1994)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

Conditions under which the inf-convolution of f and g f g ( x ) : = i n f y + z = x ( f ( y ) + g ( z ) ) has the cancellation property (i.e. f □ h ≡ g □ h implies f ≡ g) are treated in a convex analysis framework. In particular, we show that the set of strictly convex lower semicontinuous functions f : X + on a reflexive Banach space such that l i m x f ( x ) / x = constitutes a semigroup, with inf-convolution as multiplication, which can be embedded in the group of its quotients.

Paraconvex functions and paraconvex sets

Huynh Van Ngai, Jean-Paul Penot (2008)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study a class of functions which contains both convex functions and differentiable functions whose derivatives are locally Lipschitzian or Hölderian. This class is a subclass of the class of approximately convex functions. It enjoys refined properties. We also introduce a class of sets whose associated distance functions are of that type. We discuss the properties of the metric projections on such sets under some assumptions on the geometry of the Banach spaces in which they are embedded....

Quotients of Continuous Convex Functions on Nonreflexive Banach Spaces

P. Holický, O. F. K. Kalenda, L. Veselý, L. Zajíček (2007)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

On each nonreflexive Banach space X there exists a positive continuous convex function f such that 1/f is not a d.c. function (i.e., a difference of two continuous convex functions). This result together with known ones implies that X is reflexive if and only if each everywhere defined quotient of two continuous convex functions is a d.c. function. Our construction also gives a stronger version of Klee's result concerning renormings of nonreflexive spaces and non-norm-attaining functionals. ...
