Curvature measure is one of the basic notion in the theory of convex bodies. Together with surface area measures, they play fundamental roles in the study of convex bodies. They are closely related to the differential geometry and integral geometry of convex hypersurfaces. Let Ω is a bounded convex body in R with C2 boundary M , the corresponding curvature measures and surface area measures of ...

It is shown that the kernels for mean value representations of points in R in terms of the integrals over piecewise smooth hypersurfaces are divergence free vector fields defined by homogeneous functions of degree −(n+1), whose restrictions to the unit sphere are positive and orthogonal to the first harmonics. By Minkowski problem, such a function is the reciprocal of the composition of the Gau...

This paper investigates the complexity of steepest descent algorithms for two classes of discrete convex functions, M-convex functions and L-convex functions. Simple tie-breaking rules yield complexity bounds that are polynomials in the dimension of the variables and the size of the effective domain. Combination of the present results with a standard scaling approach leads to an efficient algor...

In this paper, we consider smooth convex approximations to the maximum eigenvalue function. To make it applicable to a wide class of applications, the study is conducted on the composite function of the maximum eigenvalue function and a linear operator mapping m to n, the space of n-by-n symmetric matrices. The composite function in turn is the natural objective function of minimizing the maxim...

Abstract Discrete Fenchel duality is one of the central issues in discrete convex analysis. The Fenchel-type min–max theorem for a pair integer-valued M $$^{\natural }$$ ♮ -convex functions generalizes formulas polymatroid intersection and valuated matroid intersection. In ...

‎In this paper, generalized convex contractions on orthogonal metric spaces are stablished in whath  might be called their  definitive versions. Also, we show that there are examples which show that our main theorems are  genuine generalizations of Theorem 3.1 and 3.2 of [M.A. Miandaragh, M. Postolache and S. Rezapour,  {it Approximate fixed points of generalized convex contractions}, Fixed Poi...
