On the points of non-differentiability of convex functions

David Pavlica (2004)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We characterize sets of non-differentiability points of convex functions on n . This completes (in n ) the result by Zajíček [2] which gives a characterization of the magnitude of these sets.

On the range of the derivative of a real-valued function with bounded support

T. Gaspari (2002)

Studia Mathematica

We study the set f’(X) = f’(x): x ∈ X when f:X → ℝ is a differentiable bump. We first prove that for any C²-smooth bump f: ℝ² → ℝ the range of the derivative of f must be the closure of its interior. Next we show that if X is an infinite-dimensional separable Banach space with a C p -smooth bump b:X → ℝ such that | | b ( p ) | | is finite, then any connected open subset of X* containing 0 is the range of the derivative of a C p -smooth bump. We also study the finite-dimensional case which is quite different. Finally,...

On the size of approximately convex sets in normed spaces

S. Dilworth, Ralph Howard, James Roberts (2000)

Studia Mathematica

Let X be a normed space. A set A ⊆ X is approximately convexif d(ta+(1-t)b,A)≤1 for all a,b ∈ A and t ∈ [0,1]. We prove that every n-dimensional normed space contains approximately convex sets A with ( A , C o ( A ) ) l o g 2 n - 1 and d i a m ( A ) C n ( l n n ) 2 , where ℋ denotes the Hausdorff distance. These estimates are reasonably sharp. For every D>0, we construct worst possible approximately convex sets in C[0,1] such that ℋ(A,Co(A))=(A)=D. Several results pertaining to the Hyers-Ulam stability theorem are also proved.

On weak Hessian determinants

Luigi D'Onofrio, Flavia Giannetti, Luigi Greco (2005)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

We consider and study several weak formulations of the Hessian determinant, arising by formal integration by parts. Our main concern are their continuity properties. We also compare them with the Hessian measure.

On weakly Gibson F σ -measurable mappings

Olena Karlova, Volodymyr Mykhaylyuk (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

A function f: X → Y between topological spaces is said to be a weakly Gibson function if f ( Ū ) f ( U ) ¯ for any open connected set U ⊆ X. We prove that if X is a locally connected hereditarily Baire space and Y is a T₁-space then an F σ -measurable mapping f: X → Y is weakly Gibson if and only if for any connected set C ⊆ X with dense connected interior the image f(C) is connected. Moreover, we show that each weakly Gibson F σ -measurable mapping f: ℝⁿ → Y, where Y is a T₁-space, has a connected graph.

Optimal embeddings of critical Sobolev-Lorentz-Zygmund spaces

Hidemitsu Wadade (2014)

Studia Mathematica

We establish the embedding of the critical Sobolev-Lorentz-Zygmund space H p , q , λ , . . . , λ n / p ( ) into the generalized Morrey space Φ , r ( ) with an optimal Young function Φ. As an application, we obtain the almost Lipschitz continuity for functions in H p , q , λ , . . . , λ n / p + 1 ( ) . O’Neil’s inequality and its reverse play an essential role in the proofs of the main theorems.
