Abstract. In this paper, we define the notion of C*-affine maps in the unital *-rings and we investigate the C*-extreme points of the graph and epigraph of such maps. We show that for a C*-convex map f on a unital *-ring R satisfying the positive square root axiom with an additional condition, the graph of f is a C*-face of the epigraph of f. Moreover, we prove som...

‎Let $R$ be a ring‎ ‎with the Jacobson radical $J(R)$ and let $picolon Rto R/J(R)$ be‎ the canonical map‎. ‎Then $pi$ induces an order preserving group homomorphism‎ ‎$K_0picolon K_0(R)to K_0(R/J(R))$ and an‎ ‎affine continuous map $S(K_0pi)$ between the state space $St(R/J(R))$ and the‎ ‎state space $St(R).$‎ ‎In this paper‎, ‎we consider the natural affine map $S(K_0pi).$ We give a condition ...

self-affine maps were successfully used for edge detection, image segmentation, and contour extraction. they belong to the general category of patch-based methods. particularly, each self-affine map is defined by one pair of patches in the image domain. by minimizing the difference between these patches, the optimal translation vector of the self-affine map is obtained. almost all image process...

In this paper, we first introduce the notion of $c$-affine functions for $c> 0$. Then we deal with some properties of strongly convex functions in real inner product spaces by using a quadratic support function at each point which is $c$-affine. Moreover, a Hyers–-Ulam stability result for strongly convex functions is shown.

The normal map has proven to be a powerful tool for solving generalized equations of the form: find ; £ C, with 0 e F{z) + NiAz). where C is a convex set and Nr(z) is the normal cone to C at ;. In this paper, we use the 7"-map, a generalization of the normal map, to solve equations of the more general form: find : E dom(r), with 0 ^ E(z) + T(z). where T is a maximal monotone multifunction. We p...

We consider the canonical map from the Calogero-Moser space to symmetric powers of the affine line, sending conjugacy classes of pairs of n×n-matrices to their eigenvalues. We show that the character of a natural C∗-action on the scheme-theoretic zero fiber of this map is given by Kostka polynomials.

This paper, motivated from complex dynamics and algebraic geometry, studies the moduli space of polynomial maps of C, from the standpoint of their fixed-point eigenvalues. We denote by e Pd the set of affine conjugacy classes of f(z) ∈ C[z] with degC = d, and define the map Φd : e Pd → e Λd := n (λ1, . . . , λd) ∈ C d ̨

Let Γ0 ⊂ O(2, 1) be a Schottky group, and let Σ = H2/Γ0 be the corresponding hyperbolic surface. Let C(Σ) denote the space of geodesic currents on Σ. The cohomology group H1(Γ0, V) parametrizes equivalence classes of affine deformations Γu of Γ0 acting on an irreducible representation V of O(2, 1). We define a continuous biaffine map C(Σ)×H1(Γ0, V) Ψ −→ R which is linear on the vector space H1(...
