We simplify the geometric interpretation of weak Ma-Trudinger-Wang condition for regularity in optimal transportation and provide a proof global c-convexity locally $c$-convex potentials when cost function $c$ is only assumed twice differentiable.

We give a local convexity preserving interpolation scheme using parametric 2 C cubic splines with uniform knots produced by a vector subdivision scheme which simultaneously provides the function and its first and second order derivatives. This is also adapted to give a scheme which is both local convexity and local monotonicity preserving when the data values are strictly increasing in the x di...

We introduce regularity classes which are adapted to the most important operations in convexity theory. They are typically between C and C.

This paper presents an analysis of the problem of aggregating preference orderings under subjective uncertainty. Individual preferences, or opinions, agree on the ranking of risky prospects, but are quite general because we do not specify the perception of ambiguity or the attitude towards it. A convexity axiom for the ex-ante preference characterizes a (collective) decision rule that can be in...

The objective of this paper is to deal with the fuzzy conic program- ming problems. The aim here is to derive weak and strong duality theorems for a general fuzzy conic programming. Toward this end, The convexity-like concept of fuzzy mappings is introduced and then a speci c ordering cone is established based on the parameterized representation of fuzzy numbers. Un- der this setting, duality t...

We introduce two subclasses T ∗(p, α, j) and C(p, α, j) (0 ≤ α < p − j + 1, 1 ≤ j ≤ p, p ∈ N = {1, 2, . . .}) of p-valent starlike and p-valent convex functions with negative coefficents. In this paper we obtain coefficient inequalities, distortion theorems, extreme points and integral operators for functions belonging to the classes T ∗(p, α, j) and C(p, α, j). We also determine the radii of c...

A real-valued continuous function f t on an interval α, β gives rise to a map X → f X via functional calculus from the convex set of n × n Hermitian matrices all of whose eigenvalues belong to the interval. Since the subpace of Hermitianmatrices is providedwith the order structure induced by the cone of positive semidefinite matrices, one can consider convexity of this map. We will characterize...

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,...

In this work we deal with the so-called path convexities, defined over special collections of paths. For example, the collection of the shortest paths in a graph is associated with the well-known geodesic convexity, while the collection of the induced paths is associated with the monophonic convexity ; and there are many other examples. Besides reviewing the path convexities in the literature, ...
