Extending and improving some recent results of Hantoute, López, and Zălinescu and others, we provide characterization conditions for subdifferential formulas to hold for the supremum function of a family of convex functions on a real locally convex space.

Often the structure of discrete sets can be described in terms of a closure operator. When each closed set has a unique minimal generating set (as in convex geometries in which the extreme points of a convex set generate the closed set), we have an antimatroid closure space. In this paper, we show there exist antimatroid closure spaces of any size, of which convex geometries are only a sub-fami...

The theme of these lectures is local and global properties of plurisubharmonic functions. First differential inequalities defining convex, subharmonic and plurisubharmonic functions are discussed. It is proved that the marginal function of a plurisubharmonic function is plurisubharmonic under certain hypotheses. We study the singularities of plurisubharmonic functions using methods from convexi...

It is well-known that the Dirichlet problem for the MongeAmpère equation det Du = μ in a bounded strictly convex domain Ω in R has a weak solution (in the sense of Aleksandrov) for any finite Borel measure μ on Ω and for any continuous boundary data. We consider the Dirichlet problem when Ω is only assumed to be convex, and give a necessary and sufficient condition on the boundary data for solv...

The purpose of this paper is to characterize the Banach spaces and the locally convex spaces E for which bounded additive measures or bounded σadditive measures with values in L(E, F ), the space of continuous linear maps from E into F , are of bounded semi-variation for any Banach space or locally convex space F . This paper gives an answer to a problem posed by D.H. Tucker in [6].

A restricted-orientation convex set, also called an O-convex set, is a set of points whose intersection with lines from some xed set is empty or connected. The notion of O-convexity generalizes standard convexity and orthogonal convexity. We explore some of the basic properties of O-convex sets in two and higher dimensions. We also study O-connected sets, which are restricted O-convex sets with...

In classical geometry, a linear space is a space that is closed under linear combinations. In tropical geometry, it has long been a consensus that tropical varieties defined by valuated matroids are the tropical analogue of linear spaces. It is not difficult to see that each such space is tropically convex, i.e. closed under tropical linear combinations. However, we will also show that the conv...
