Lipschitz r-continuity of the approximative subdifferential of a convex function.
We give a geometric characterization of the convex subsets of a Banach space with the property that for any two convex continuous functions on this set, if their sum is Lipschitz, then the functions must be Lipschitz. We apply this result to the theory of Δ-convex functions.
Lower semicontinuity results are obtained for multiple integrals of the kind , where is a given positive measure on , and the vector-valued function belongs to the Sobolev space associated with . The proofs are essentially based on blow-up techniques, and a significant role is played therein by the concepts of tangent space and of tangent measures to . More precisely, for fully general , a notion of quasiconvexity for along the tangent bundle to , turns out to be necessary for lower...
Lower semicontinuity results are obtained for multiple integrals of the kind , where μ is a given positive measure on , and the vector-valued function u belongs to the Sobolev space associated with μ. The proofs are essentially based on blow-up techniques, and a significant role is played therein by the concepts of tangent space and of tangent measures to μ. More precisely, for fully general μ, a notion of quasiconvexity for f along the tangent bundle to μ, turns out to be necessary for lower...
We provide a mild sufficient condition for a probability measure on the real line to satisfy a modified log-Sobolev inequality for convex functions, interpolating between the classical log-Sobolev inequality and a Bobkov-Ledoux type inequality. As a consequence we obtain dimension-free two-level concentration results for convex functions of independent random variables with sufficiently regular tail decay. We also provide a link between modified log-Sobolev inequalities...
We consider the space Cn of convex functions u defined in Rn with values in R ∪ {∞}, which are lower semi-continuous and such that lim|x| } ∞ u(x) = ∞. We study the valuations defined on Cn which are invariant under the composition with rigid motions, monotone and verify a certain type of continuity. We prove integral representations formulas for such valuations which are, in addition, simple or homogeneous.
Variants of Khintchine's inequality with coefficients depending on the vector dimension are proved. Equality is attained for different types of extremal vectors. The Schur convexity of certain attached functions and direct estimates in terms of the Haagerup type of functions are also used.
We construct a Lipschitz function on which is locally convex on the complement of some totally disconnected compact set but not convex. Existence of such function disproves a theorem that appeared in a paper by L. Pasqualini and was also cited by other authors.
