چکیده
Yau [Math. Ann. 207 (1974), pp. 269–270] proved that: There is no non-trivial continuous concave function on a complete manifold with finite volume. We prove analogue theorems for several metric spaces, including Alexandrov spaces curvature bounded below/above, C α C^{\alpha } -Hölder Riemannian manifolds.

Spaces of Lipschitz Functions on Metric Spaces
In this paper the universal properties of spaces of Lipschitz functions, defined over metric spaces, are investigated.
متن کاملOn the Existence of Cournot Equilibrium without Concave Profit Functions*
This communication is concerned with the existence of equilibrium in Cournot’s model of oligopoly [2, Chap. VII]. This question, of course, has been examined often (see, e.g., [l-3]). To our knowledge, however, all previous treatments of the problem have assumed (either directly or indirectly) that the reaction curves of the firms are single-valued continuous functions or convex-valued, upper h...
متن کاملInfinitesimally Lipschitz Functions on Metric Spaces
For a metric space X, we study the space D∞(X) of bounded functions on X whose infinitesimal Lipschitz constant is uniformly bounded. D ∞(X) is compared with the space LIP∞(X) of bounded Lipschitz functions on X, in terms of different properties regarding the geometry of X. We also obtain a Banach-Stone theorem in this context. In the case of a metric measure space, we also compare D∞(X) with t...
متن کاملGeneralized multivalued $F$-contractions on non-complete metric spaces
In this paper, we explain a new generalized contractive condition for multivalued mappings and prove a fixed point theorem in metric spaces (not necessary complete) which extends some well-known results in the literature. Finally, as an application, we prove that a multivalued function satisfying a general linear functional inclusion admits a unique selection fulfilling the corresp...
متن کاملON THE EXISTENCE OF PERIODIC SOLUTIONS FOR CERTAIN NON-LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
Here we consider some non-autonomous ordinary differential equations of order n and present some results and theorems on the existence of periodic solutions for them, which are sufficient conditions, section 1. Also we include generalizations of these results to vector differential equations and examinations of some practical examples by numerical simulation, section 2. For some special cases t...
