How to define "convex functions" on differentiable manifolds

Stefan Rolewicz (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In the paper a class of families (M) of functions defined on differentiable manifolds M with the following properties: 1 . if M is a linear manifold, then (M) contains convex functions, 2 . (·) is invariant under diffeomorphisms, 3 . each f ∈ (M) is differentiable on a dense G δ -set, is investigated.

Hysteresis memory preserving operators

Pavel Krejčí (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

The recent development of mathematical methods of investigation of problems with hysteresis has shown that the structure of the hysteresis memory plays a substantial role. In this paper we characterize the hysteresis operators which exhibit a memory effect of the Preisach type (memory preserving operators). We investigate their properties (continuity, invertibility) and we establish some relations between special classes of such operators (Preisach, Ishlinskii and Nemytskii operators). For a general...

Implicit function theorem for locally blow-analytic functions

Laurentiu Paunescu (2001)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we prove the implicit function theorem for locally blow-analytic functions, and as an interesting application of using blow-analytic homeomorphisms, we describe a very easy way to resolve singularities of analytic curves.

Implicit functions from locally convex spaces to Banach spaces

Seppo Hiltunen (1999)

Studia Mathematica

We first generalize the classical implicit function theorem of Hildebrandt and Graves to the case where we have a Keller C Π k -map f defined on an open subset of E×F and with values in F, for E an arbitrary Hausdorff locally convex space and F a Banach space. As an application, we prove that under a certain transversality condition the preimage of a submanifold is a submanifold for a map from a Fréchet manifold to a Banach manifold.

Index and dynamics of quantized contact transformations

Steven Zelditch (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Quantized contact transformations are Toeplitz operators over a contact manifold ( X , α ) of the form U χ = Π A χ Π , where Π : H 2 ( X ) L 2 ( X ) is a Szegö projector, where χ is a contact transformation and where A is a pseudodifferential operator over X . They provide a flexible alternative to the Kähler quantization of symplectic maps, and encompass many of the examples in the physics literature, e.g. quantized cat maps and kicked rotors. The index problem is to determine ind ( U χ ) when the principal symbol is unitary, or equivalently to determine...

Injectivity onto a star-shaped set for local homeomorphisms in n-space

Gianluca Gorni, Gaetano Zampieri (1994)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We provide a number of either necessary and sufficient or only sufficient conditions on a local homeomorphism defined on an open, connected subset of the n-space to be actually a homeomorphism onto a star-shaped set. The unifying idea is the existence of "auxiliary" scalar functions that enjoy special behaviours along the paths that result from lifting the half-lines that radiate from a point in the codomain space. In our main result this special behaviour is monotonicity, and the auxiliary function...
