A generalization of the Chandler Davis convexity theorem

چکیده
In 1957 Chandler Davis proved a theorem that a rotationally invariant function on symmetric matrices is convex if and only if it is convex on the diagonal matrices. We generalize this result to groups acting nonlinearly on convex subsets of arbitrary vector spaces thereby understanding the abstract mechanism behind the classical theorem. We apply the new theorem to a problem from the mathematical theory of composite materials and derive its corollaries in the Lie algebra setting. Using the latter, we show that the Pfaffian is log-concave.

SOME PROPERTIES FOR FUZZY CHANCE CONSTRAINED PROGRAMMING
Convexity theory and duality theory are important issues in math- ematical programming. Within the framework of credibility theory, this paper rst introduces the concept of convex fuzzy variables and some basic criteria. Furthermore, a convexity theorem for fuzzy chance constrained programming is proved by adding some convexity conditions on the objective and constraint functions. Finally,...
متن کاملThe starlikeness, convexity, covering theorem and extreme points of p-harmonic mappings
The main aim of this paper is to introduce three classes $H^0_{p,q}$, $H^1_{p,q}$ and $TH^*_p$ of $p$-harmonic mappings and discuss the properties of mappings in these classes. First, we discuss the starlikeness and convexity of mappings in $H^0_{p,q}$ and $H^1_{p,q}$. Then establish the covering theorem for mappings in $H^1_{p,q}$. Finally, we determine the extreme points of the class $TH^*_{p}$.
متن کاملDavis matrics of sections and projections of polyhedral cones
In 1952, in the first of several interesting papers written by him on convexity, Chandler Davis described a class of matrices having a useful property and proved a couple of (rather trivial) statements (about which he proclaimed surprise that they were new). In this talk another such (trivial) result will be described, shedding some additional light on the problem of finding sections and projec...

Using a generalized spherical mean operator, we obtain a generalization of Titchmarsh's theorem for the Dunkl transform for functions satisfying the ('; p)-Dunkl Lipschitz condition in the space Lp(Rd;wl(x)dx), 1 < p 6 2, where wl is a weight function invariant under the action of an associated re ection group.

In this paper, using a generalized Dunkl translation operator, we obtain a generalization of Titchmarsh's Theorem for the Dunkl transform for functions satisfying the$(psi,p)$-Lipschitz Dunkl condition in the space $mathrm{L}_{p,alpha}=mathrm{L}^{p}(mathbb{R},|x|^{2alpha+1}dx)$, where $alpha>-frac{1}{2}$.
