On ω-convex functions

Tomasz Szostok (2011)

Banach Center Publications

In Orlicz spaces theory some strengthened version of the Jensen inequality is often used to obtain nice geometrical properties of the Orlicz space generated by the Orlicz function satisfying this inequality. Continuous functions satisfying the classical Jensen inequality are just convex which means that such functions may be described geometrically in the following way: a segment joining every pair of points of the graph lies above the graph of such a function. In the current paper we try to obtain...

Polynomial selections and separation by polynomials

Szymon Wąsowicz (1996)

Studia Mathematica

K. Nikodem and the present author proved in [3] a theorem concerning separation by affine functions. Our purpose is to generalize that result for polynomials. As a consequence we obtain two theorems on separation of an n-convex function from an n-concave function by a polynomial of degree at most n and a stability result of Hyers-Ulam type for polynomials.

Remarks on strongly Wright-convex functions

Nelson Merentes, Kazimierz Nikodem, Sergio Rivas (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Some properties of strongly Wright-convex functions are presented. In particular it is shown that a function f:D → ℝ, where D is an open convex subset of an inner product space X, is strongly Wright-convex with modulus c if and only if it can be represented in the form f(x) = g(x)+a(x)+c||x||², x ∈ D, where g:D → ℝ is a convex function and a:X → ℝ is an additive function. A characterization of inner product spaces by strongly Wright-convex functions is also given.
