A Characterization of Convex Φ-functions
The properties of four elements (LPFE) and (UPFE), introduced by Isac and Persson, have been recently examined in Hilbert spaces, L-spaces and modular spaces. In this paper we prove a new theorem showing that a modular of form ρΦ(f) = R Ω Φ(t, |f(t)|) dμ(t) satisfies both (LPFE) and (UPFE) if and only if Φ is convex with respect to its second variable. A connection of this result with the study...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Subdifferentials of Convex Functions
Each lower semi-continuous proper convex function f on a Banach space E defines a certain multivalued mapping of from E to E* called the subdifferential of f. It is shown here that the mappings arising this way are precisely the ones whose graphs are maximal "cyclically monotone" relations on Ex E*, and that each of these is also a maximal monotone relation. Furthermore, it is proved that of de...

This note shows that level sets of a function characterize an M-convex function introduced by Murota.
متن کاملSingular values of convex functions of matrices
Let $A_{i},B_{i},X_{i},i=1,dots,m,$ be $n$-by-$n$ matrices such that $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert A_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ and $sum_{i=1}^{m}leftvert B_{i}rightvert ^{2}$ are nonzero matrices and each $X_{i}$ is positive semidefinite. It is shown that if $f$ is a nonnegative increasing convex function on $left[ 0,infty right) $ satisfying $fleft( 0right) =0 $, then $$2s_{j}left( fleft( fra...
متن کاملA New Characterization of M^-convex Set Functions by Substitutability
The concepts of M-convex functions and M^-convex functions play central roles in the theory of discrete convex analysis which has been applied to mathematical economics. On the other hand, substitutability, which is a key property guaranteeing the existence of a stable matching in generalized stable marriage models, is known as a nice property in mathematical economics. In this paper, we introd...
