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 $X$ be a  Banach  space, $Csubset X$  be  a  closed  convex  set  included  in  a well-based cone $K$, and also let $sigma_C$ be the support function which is defined on $C$. In this note, we first study the existence of a  bounded base for the cone $K$, then using the obtained results, we find some geometric conditions for the set  $C$,  so that ${mathop{rm int}}(mathrm{dom} sigma_C) neqem...

Let 〈X ,Y〉 be a pair of Banach spaces in separating duality [18, Chapter IV]. A convex set M ⊂ X is called cone if λx ∈M for any x ∈M, λ ≥ 0. A cone M is called pointed if M∩ (−M)= {0}. Suppose that X is endowed with a locally convex topology τ, which is always assumed to be compatible with the duality 〈X ,Y〉, and K ⊂ X is a τ-closed pointed cone. An element ξ ∈ Y is called strictly positive if...

We study the firstand second-order regularity properties of the boundary of H-convex sets in the setting of a real vector space endowed with a suitable group structure: our starting point is indeed a step two Carnot group. We prove that, locally, the noncharacteristic part of the boundary has the intrinsic cone property and that it is foliated by intrinsic Lipschitz continous curves that are tw...

Example 1. The set R+ is a closed, convex, pointed cone. The half plane {x ∈ R2 : x2 ≥ 0} is a closed, convex cone that is not pointed. The union of the open half plane {x ∈ R2 : x2 > 0} and 0 is a somewhat pathological example of a convex cone that is pointed but not closed. Remark 1. There are several different definitions of “cone” in the mathematics. Some, for example, require the cone to b...

Salas and Tapia-García introduced the concept of an extended locally convex space in [13] which extends idea normed (introduced by Beer [2]). This article gives attractive formulation finest topology provides a systematic study resulting space. As application, we characterize coincidence topologies corresponding to uniform strong convergences on bornology for function C(X).
