Constant selections and minimax inequalities

Mircea Balaj (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we establish two constant selection theorems for a map whose dual is upper or lower semicontinuous. As applications, matching theorems, analytic alternatives, and minimax inequalities are obtained.

Convexity ranks in higher dimensions

Menachem Kojman (2000)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A subset of a vector space is called countably convex if it is a countable union of convex sets. Classification of countably convex subsets of topological vector spaces is addressed in this paper. An ordinal-valued rank function ϱ is introduced to measure the complexity of local nonconvexity points in subsets of topological vector spaces. Then ϱ is used to give a necessary and sufficient condition for countable convexity of closed sets. Theorem. Suppose that S is a closed subset of a Polish linear...

Countably convex G δ sets

Vladimir Fonf, Menachem Kojman (2001)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We investigate countably convex G δ subsets of Banach spaces. A subset of a linear space is countably convex if it can be represented as a countable union of convex sets. A known sufficient condition for countable convexity of an arbitrary subset of a separable normed space is that it does not contain a semi-clique [9]. A semi-clique in a set S is a subset P ⊆ S so that for every x ∈ P and open neighborhood u of x there exists a finite set X ⊆ P ∩ u such that conv(X) ⊈ S. For closed sets this condition...

Distances to spaces of affine Baire-one functions

Jiří Spurný (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Let E be a Banach space and let ( B E * ) and ( B E * ) denote the space of all Baire-one and affine Baire-one functions on the dual unit ball B E * , respectively. We show that there exists a separable L₁-predual E such that there is no quantitative relation between d i s t ( f , ( B E * ) ) and d i s t ( f , ( B E * ) ) , where f is an affine function on B E * . If the Banach space E satisfies some additional assumption, we prove the existence of some such dependence.

Extreme and exposed representing measures of the disk algebra

Alex Heinis, Jan Wiegerinck (2000)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We study the extreme and exposed points of the convex set consisting of representing measures of the disk algebra, supported in the closed unit disk. A boundary point of this set is shown to be extreme (and even exposed) if its support inside the open unit disk consists of two points that do not lie on the same radius of the disk. If its support inside the unit disk consists of 3 or more points, it is very seldom an extreme point. We also give a necessary condition for extreme points to be exposed...
