A Note on Nonconvex Minimax Theorem with Separable Homogeneous Polynomials

The minimax theorem for a convex-concave bifunction is a fundamental theorem in optimization and convex analysis, and has a lot of applications in economics. In the last two decades, a nonconvex extension of this minimax theorem has been well studied under various generalized convexity assumptions. In this note, by exploiting the hidden convexity (joint range convexity) of separable homogeneous polynomials, we establish a nonconvex minimax theorem involving separable homogeneous polynomials. Our result complements the existing study of nonconvex minimax theorem by obtaining easily verifiable conditions for the nonconvex minimax theorem to hold.     

Second order evolution equations with time-dependent subdifferentials

We study an abstract second order nonlinear evolution equation in a real Hilbert space. We consider time-dependent convex functions and their subdifferentials operating on the first derivative of the unknown function. Introducing appropriate assumptions on the convex functions and other data, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution, and give some applications of the abstract theorem to hyperbolic variational inequalities with time-dependent constraints.

On extensions of the Brunn-Minkowski and Prékopa-Leindler theorems,including inequalities for log concave functions,and with an application to the diffusion equation

We extend the Prékopa-Leindler theorem to other types of convex combinations of two positive functions and we strengthen the Prékopa-Leindler and Brunn-Minkowski theorems by introducing the notion of essential addition. Our proof of the Prékopa-Leindler theorem is simpler than the original one. We sharpen the inequality that the marginal of a log concave function is log concave, and we prove various moment inequalities for such functions. Finally, we use these results to derive inequalities for the fundamental solution of the diffusion equation with a convex potential.     

A generalization of the Shapley–Ichiishi result

The Shapley–Ichiishi result states that a game is convex if and only if the convex hull of marginal vectors equals the core. In this paper, we generalize this result by distinguishing equivalence classes of balanced games that share the same core structure. We then associate a system of linear inequalities with each equivalence class, and we show that the system defines the class. Application of this general theorem to the class of convex games yields an alternative proof of the Shapley–Ichiishi result. Other applications range from computation of stable sets in non-cooperative game theory to determination of classes of TU games on which the core correspondence is additive (even linear). For the case of convex games we prove that the theorem provides the minimal defining system of linear inequalities. An example shows that this is not necessarily true for other equivalence classes of balanced games.     

A Common Fixed Point Theorem with Applications

In this paper, we establish a common fixed point theorem for a family of self set-valued mappings on a compact and convex set in a locally convex topological vector space. As applications, we obtain an existence theorem of solutions for a variational inequality of Stampacchia type and some Ky Fan-type minimax inequalities.     

Sandwich theorem for quasiconvex functions and its applications

In convex programming, sandwich theorem is very important because it is equivalent to Fenchel duality theorem. In this paper, we investigate a sandwich theorem for quasiconvex functions. Also, we consider some applications for quasiconvex programming.     

A probabilistic take on isoperimetric-type inequalities

We extend a theorem of Groemer on the expected volume of a random polytope in a convex body. The extension involves various ways of generating random convex sets. We also treat the case of absolutely continuous probability measures rather than convex bodies. As an application, we obtain a new proof of a recent result due to Lutwak, Yang and Zhang on the volume of Orlicz-centroid bodies.     

抽象凸空间上的弱KKM映射, 相交定理和极大极小不等式

In this paper,we introduce the concept of weakly KKM map on an abstract convex space without any topology and linear structure,and obtain Fan＇s matching theorem and intersection theorem under very weak assumptions on abstract convex spaces.Finally,we give several minimax inequality theorems as applications.These results generalize and improve many known results in recent literature.     

Theorems of the Alternative for Multivalued Mappings and Applications to Mixed Convex\Concave Systems of Inequalities

We provide a purely algebraic theorem of the alternative (and its topological variant) involving multivalued mappings under relaxed convexity assumptions. Various more or less classical applications are given, specially for nonconvex quadratic systems. In the second part of the paper we introduce an alternative formulation for a mixed convex\concave statement. The theory is applied to systems of mixed convex\concave inequalities.     

Hessian measures of semi-convex functions and applications to support measures of convex bodies

This paper originates from the investigation of support measures of convex bodies (sets of positive reach), which form a central subject in convex geometry and also represent an important tool in related fields. We show that these measures are absolutely continuous with respect to Hausdorff measures of appropriate dimensions, and we determine the Radon-Nikodym derivatives explicitly on sets of σ-finite Hausdorff measure. The results which we obtain in the setting of the theory of convex bodies (sets of positive reach) are achieved as applications of various new results on Hessian measures of convex (semi-convex) functions. Among these are a Crofton formula, results on the absolute continuity of Hessian measures, and a duality theorem which relates the Hessian measures of a convex function to those of the conjugate function. In particular, it turns out that curvature and surface area measures of a convex body K are the Hessian measures of special functions, namely the distance function and the support function of K.

Geometric Properties and Coincidence Theorems with Applications to Generalized Vector Equilibrium Problems

The present paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, we derive a Fan-KKM type theorem and establish some Fan type geometric properties of convex spaces. By applying our results, we also obtain some coincidence theorems and fixed-point theorems in the setting of convex spaces. The second part deals with the applications of our coincidence theorem to establish some existence results for a solution to the generalized vector equilibrium problems.

An Altman type fixed point theorem, on a convex cone in a Banach space, will be presented. In this theorem we replace the classical Altman's condition by an asymptotic condition. Also, we will establish some relations between this Altman type fixed point theorem and the scalar derivatives. Some applications will be given.     

Elements of the KKM theory for generalized convex spaces

In the present paper, we introduce fundamental results in the KKM theory for G-convex spaces which are equivalent to the Brouwer theorem, the Sperner lemma, and the KKM theorem. Those results are all abstract versions of known corresponding ones for convex subsets of topological vector spaces. Some earlier applications of those results are indicated. Finally, we give a new proof of the Himmelberg fixed point theorem andG-convex space versions of the von Neumann type minimax theorem and the Nash equilibrium theorem as typical examples of applications of our theory.     

The generalized decomposition theorem in Banach spaces and its applications

In this paper, we first give a simple proof of the decomposition theorem in Alber (Field Inst. Comm. 25 (2000) 77) and then present a new decomposition of arbitrary elements in reflexive strictly convex and smooth Banach spaces. As applications of the decomposition theorem, we give the representations of the metric projection operator for some kind of closed convex sets. Finally, we provide a sufficient condition under which the generalized projection operator coincides with the metric projection operator.
