Projective and inductive limits in locally convex cones

We define and study the projective and inductive limit notions for locally convex cones. We use convex quasiuniform structure method for this purpose. Also we study the barreledness in the locally convex cones and introduce the notion upper-barreled cones and prove that the inductive limit of upper-barreled cones is upper-barreled.     

Duality on locally convex cones

The theory of locally convex cones as a branch of functional analysis was presented by K. Keimel and W. Roth in [K. Keimel, W. Roth, Ordered Cones and Approximation, Lecture Notes in Math., vol. 1517, Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg, 1992]. We study some more results about dual cones and adjoint operators on locally convex cones. Moreover we introduce the concept of the uniformly precompact sets and discuss their relations with σ-bounded sets. Some results obtained about inductive limit, projective limit, metrizability and quotients of locally convex cones.     

Completeness on locally convex cones

We investigate complete and compact subsets for the lower, upper and symmetric topologies of a locally convex cone and prove that weakly closed sets will be weakly compact, whenever they are weakly precompact. This leads to the weak* compactness of the polars of neighborhoods and weak compactness of the lower, upper and symmetric neighborhoods.     

Weak compactness in locally convex cones

Positivity - Using the coarsest weak topologies, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions for the weak upper, lower and symmetric compactness of subsets in cones. This leads us to...     

Non-conflicting ordering cones and vector optimization in inductive limits

Let (E, ξ)= ind (E_n, ξ_n) be an inductive limit of a sequence (E_n, ξ_n)_{n∈ N} of locally convex spaces and let every step (E_n, ξ_n) be endowed with a partial order by a pointed convex (solid) cone S_n. In the framework of inductive limits of partially ordered locally convex spaces, the notions of lastingly efficient points, lastingly weakly efficient points and lastingly globally properly efficient points are introduced. For several ordering cones, the notion of non-conflict is introduced. Under the requirement that the sequence (S_n)_{n∈ N} of ordering cones is non-conflicting, an existence theorem on lastingly weakly efficient points is presented. From this, an existence theorem on lastingly globally properly efficient points is deduced.     

A uniform boundedness theorem for locally convex cones

We prove a uniform boundedness theorem for families of linear operators on ordered cones. Using the concept of locally convex cones we introduce the notions of barreled cones and of weak cone-completeness. Our main result, though no straightforward generalization of the classical case, implies the Uniform Boundedness Theorem for Fréchet spaces.

     

On weak completeness of products and direct sums in locally convex cones

We discuss the weak completeness of product and direct sum cones in the lower, upper and symmetric topologies. For the weak lower, upper and symmetric topology of a direct sum cone, there correspond bases of upper, respectively lower and symmetric, closed members in a coarser topology which leads us to investigate the weak completeness of direct sum cones.

     

New existence results for efficient points in locally convex spaces ordered by supernormal cones

In this paper, the definition of supernormality for convex cones in locally convex spaces is discussed in detail on many interesting examples. Starting from the new direction for the study of the existence of efficient points (Pareto type optimums) in locally convex spaces offered by the concept of supernormal (nuclear) cone, we establish some existence results for the efficient points using boundedness and completeness of conical sections induced by non-empty subsets and we specify properties for the sets of efficient points beside important remarks     

Large convex cones in hypercubes

A family of subsets of [n] is positive linear combination free if the characteristic vector of neither member is the positive linear combination of the characteristic vectors of some other ones. We construct a positive linear combination free family which contains (1-o(1))2ⁿ subsets of [n] and we give tight bounds on the o(1)2ⁿ term. The problem was posed by Ahlswede and Khachatrian [Cone dependence—a basic combinatorial concept, Preprint 00-117, Diskrete Strukturen in der Mathematik SFB 343, Universität Bielefeld, 2000] and the result has geometric consequences.     

Remarks on convex cones

We point out in this note that the class of cones in a locally convex topological vector space satisfying property () or piecewise relatively weakly compact cones is exactly the class of cones admitting weakly compact bases or the class of cones whose closures admit weakly compact bases.This work was supported by a Monash University Postdoctoral Fellowship.     

Nuclear cones in product spaces,pareto efficiency and Ekeland-type variational principles in locally convex spaces

In this article, we present a method to obtain new Ekeland-type variational principles for mappings defined between locally convex spaces. The method is based on a special nuclear cone defined in a product of two locally convex spaces and on Pareto efficiency with respect to this cone.     

Nondegenerate families of convex cones and convex polytopes

This paper describes relations between convex polytopes and certain families of convex cones in R ⁿ .The purpose is to use known properties of convex cones in order to solve Helly type problems for convex sets in R ⁿ or for spherically convex sets in S _n , the n-dimensional unit sphere. These results are strongly related to Gale diagrams.     

Solidity indices for convex cones

The issue addressed in this work is how to measure the degree of solidity of a closed convex cone in the Euclidean space ${\mathbb{R}^n}$ . One compares and establishes all sort of relations between the metric, the volumetric, and the Frobenius solidity indices.
