Comparative Properties of Three Metrics in the Space of Compact Convex Sets

Along with the Hausdorff metric, we consider two other metrics on the space of convex sets, namely, the metric induced by the Demyanov difference of convex sets and the Bartels–Pallaschke metric. We describe the hierarchy of these three metrics and of the corresponding norms in the space of differences of sublinear functions. The completeness of corresponding metric spaces is demonstrated. Conditions of differentiability of convex-valued maps of one variable with respect to these metrics are proved for some special cases. Applications to the theory of convex fuzzy sets are given.     

Parabolic quasi‐concavity for solutions to parabolic problems in convex rings

We investigate some geometric properties of level sets of the solutions of parabolic problems in convex rings. We introduce the notion of parabolic quasi‐concavity, which involves time and space jointly and is a stronger property than the spatial quasi‐concavity, and study the convexity of superlevel sets of the solutions (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A class of bounds for convex bodies in Hilbert space

We extend to infinite dimensions a class of bounds forL _p metrics of finite-dimensional convex bodies. A generalization to arbitrary increasing convex functions is done simultaneously. The main tool is the use of Gaussian measure to effect a normalization for varying dimension. At a point in the proof we also invoke a strong law of large numbers for random sets to produce a rotational averaging.Supported in part by ONR Grant N0014-90-J-1641 and NSF Grant DMS-9002665.

Thin and thick sets in locally convex spaces

We introduce in this work some normed space notions such as norming, thin and thick sets in general locally convex spaces. We also study some effects of thick sets on the uniform boundedness-like principles in locally convex spaces such as “weak*-bounded sets are strong*-bounded if and only if the space is a Banach–Mackey space”. It is proved that these principles occur under some weaker conditions by means of thick sets. Further, we show that the thickness is a duality invariant, that is, all compatible topologies for some locally convex space have the same thick sets.     

Sets convex in a cone of directions

We consider sets which are convex in directions from some cone K. We generalize some well-known properties of ordinary convex sets for the case of K-convex sets and give some applications in optimization theory.     

Constraint Qualifications in Nonsmooth Multiobjective Optimization

For an inequality constrained nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problem involving locally Lipschitz functions, stronger KT-type necessary conditions and KT necessary conditions (which in the continuously differentiable case reduce respectively to the stronger KT conditions studied recently by Maeda and the usual KT conditions) are derived for efficiency and weak efficiency under several constraint qualifications. Stimulated by the stronger KT-type conditions, the notion of core of the convex hull of the union of finitely many convex sets is introduced. As main tool in the derivation of the necessary conditions, a theorem of the alternatives and a core separation theorem are also developed which are respectively extensions of the Motzkin transposition theorem and the Tucker theorem.

Best approximations of classes of functions defined by means of the modulus of continuity

This paper is devoted to an exact solution of problems of best approximation in the uniform and integral metrics of classes of periodic functions representable as a convolution of a kernel not increasing the oscillation with functions having a given convex upwards majorant of the modulus of continuity. The approximating sets are taken to be the trigonometric polynomials in the case of the uniform and integral metrics, and convolutions of the kernel defining the class with polynomial splines in the case of the integral metric.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 44, No. 5, pp. 579–589, May, 1992.

A convex sets in general position

The notion of convex cones in general position has turned out to be useful in convex programming theory. In this paper we extend the notion to convex sets and give some characterizations which yield a better insight into this concept. We also consider the case of convex sets in S-general position.     

Nonosculating Sets of Positive Reach

For integral geometric and local topological properties of two sets of positive reach, one fixed and the other moving or translating, certain exceptional relative positions have to be excluded. We give a measure geometric justification in form of a Sard-type theorem which extends to more general singular sets. A slightly stronger result has been proved by Schneider for the special case of convex bodies.     

A fixed-point theorem for asymptotically contractive mappings

We present fixed point theorems for a nonexpansive mapping from a closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space into itself under some asymptotic contraction assumptions. They generalize results valid for bounded convex sets or asymptotically compact sets.

     

Criteria for differentiable generalized monotone maps

First-order criteria for pseudomonotonicity and quasimonotonicity are given for differentiable maps on open convex sets. These criteria are proved stronger than those introduced earlier. This research was supported by the National Research Council of Canada, Grant No A8312.     

On a metric for the class of compact convex sets

A distance function, defined in [12], for the class of compact convex sets inn-space is introduced in a new way, and some of its properties are developed. This concept is compared with some traditional distance functions for convex sets.     

Some Computational Aspects of Geodesic Convex Sets in a Simple Polygon

In this article, we deal with some computational aspects of geodesic convex sets. Motzkin-type theorem, Radon-type theorem, and Helly-type theorem for geodesic convex sets are shown. In particular, given a finite collection of geodesic convex sets in a simple polygon and an “oracle,” which accepts as input three sets of the collection and which gives as its output an intersection point or reports its nonexistence; we present an algorithm for finding an intersection point of this collection.     

Polyhedral convexity cuts and negative edge extensions

This note shows that convexity cuts defined relative to polyhedral convex sets can utilize negative as well as positive edge extensions under appropriate circumstances, yielding stronger cuts than customarily available. We also show how to partially collapse the polyhedron to further improve these cuts.     

Characterizations of strictly convex sets by the uniqueness of support points

Abstract

This short paper characterizes strictly convex sets by the uniqueness of support points (such points are called unique support points or exposed points) under appropriate assumptions. A class of so-called regular sets, for which every extreme point is a unique support point, is introduced. Closed strictly convex sets and their intersections with some other sets are shown to belong to this class. The obtained characterizations are then applied to set-valued maps and to the separation of a convex set and a strictly convex set. Under suitable assumptions, so-called set-valued maps with path property are characterized by strictly convex images of the considered set-valued map.
