Schur geometric convexity for differences of means.
The aim of our article is to present a proof of the existence of local minimizer in the classical optimality problem without constraints under weaker assumptions in comparisons with common statements of the result. In addition we will provide rather elementary and self-contained proof of that result.
Viene studiata la semicontinuità rispetto alla topologia di per alcuni funzionali del Calcolo delle Variazioni dipendenti da funzioni a valori vettoriali.
We define the notion of semicopula, a concept that has already appeared in the statistical literature and study the properties of semicopulas and the connexion of this notion with those of copula, quasi-copula, -norm.
We characterize some bivariate semicopulas and, among them, the semicopulas satisfying a Lipschitz condition. In particular, the characterization of harmonic semicopulas allows us to introduce a new concept of depedence between two random variables. The notion of multivariate semicopula is given and two applications in the theory of fuzzy measures and stochastic processes are given.
We prove a characterisation of sets with finite perimeter and functions in terms of the short time behaviour of the heat semigroup in . For sets with smooth boundary a more precise result is shown.
Let be a separable Banach space and a locally Lipschitz real function on . For , let be the set of points , at which the Clarke subdifferential is at least -dimensional. It is well-known that if is convex or semiconvex (semiconcave), then can be covered by countably many Lipschitz surfaces of codimension . We show that this result holds even for each Clarke regular function (and so also for each approximately convex function). Motivated by a resent result of A.D. Ioffe, we prove...
In the present paper we establish an abstract principle of condensation of singularities for families consisting of set-valued mappings. By using it as a basic tool, the condensation of the singularities and the equicontinuity of certain families of generalized convex set-valued mappings are studied. In particular, a principle of condensation of the singularities of families of closed convex processes is derived. This principle immediately yields the uniform boundedness theorem stated in [1, Theorem...
In this note we prove that the unique concave t-norm is Minimum and, among the class of triangular functions that have the family of unit step-functions as idempotent elements, the unique concave triangular function is piM.
