We give an extension to a nonconvex setting of the classical radial representation result for lower semicontinuous envelope of a convex function on the boundary of its effective domain. We introduce the concept of radial uniform upper semicontinuity which plays the role of convexity, and allows to prove a radial representation result for nonconvex functions. An application to the relaxation of ...

We establish the existence of ergodic measures of maximal Hausdorff dimension for hyperbolic sets of surface diffeomorphisms. This is a dimension-theoretical version of the existence of ergodic measures of maximal entropy. The crucial difference is that while the entropy map is upper-semicontinuous, the map ν 7→ dimH ν is neither uppersemicontinuous nor lower-semicontinuous. This forces us to d...

In this paper we work in separated locally convex spaces where we give equivalent statements for the formulae of the conjugate function of the sum of a convex lower-semicontinuous function and the precomposition of another convex lower-semicontinuous function which is also K-increasing with a K-convex K-epi-closed function, where K is a non-empty closed convex cone. These statements prove to be...

Let (T,r,p) be a finite measure space, X be a Banach space, P be a metric space and let L,(y,X) denote the space of equivalence classes of X-valued Bochner integrable functions on (T, T, p). We show that if $I: T x P-2x is a set-valued function such that for each fixed p E P, 4(. , p) has a measurable graph and for each fixed TV T, 4(t;) is either upper or lower semicontinuous then the Aumann i...
