Adsorption-induced deformation of monolithic, hierarchically organised porous carbon materials exhibiting non-convex mesoporosity between hexagonally arranged nanorods was investigated with adsorption dilatometry and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). n-pentane zeroscattering length density used as an adsorbate for SANS. To assess the influence micropores on deformation, three samples diffe...

This paper considers metric projections onto a closed subset S of a Hilbert space. If the set S is convex, then it is well known that the corresponding metric projections always exist, unique and directionally differentiable at boundary points of S. These properties of metric projections are considered for possibly nonconvex sets S. In particular, existence and directional differentiability of ...

We study transitivity conditions on the norm of JB∗-triples, C∗-algebras, JBalgebras, and their preduals. We show that, for the predual X of a JBW∗-triple, each one of the following conditions i) and ii) implies that X is a Hilbert space. i) The closed unit ball of X has some extreme point and the norm of X is convex transitive. ii) The set of all extreme points of the closed unit ball of X is ...

Some inequalities for convex functions of selfadjoint operators in Hilbert spaces under suitable assumptions for the involved operators are given. Applications for particular cases of interest are also provided.

We define and study Browder's fixed point theorem and relation between an intuitionistic fuzzy convex normed space and a strong intuitionistic fuzzy uniformly convex normed space. Also, we give an example to show that uniformly convex normed space does not imply strongly intuitionistic fuzzy uniformly convex.

We investigate two greedy strategies for finding an approximation to the minimum of a convex function E defined on a Hilbert space H. We prove convergence rates for these algorithms under suitable conditions on the objective function E. These conditions involve the behavior of the modulus of smoothness and the modulus of uniform convexity of E.

We show that if Lr(X), 1 < r < ∞, has an asymptotically uniformly convex renorming of power type then X admits a uniformly convex norm of power type.

This paper deals with locatedness of convex subsets in inner product and Hilbert spaces which plays a crucial role in the constructive validity of many important theorems of analysis.

Let F(a,b;c;z) be the classical hypergeometric function and f be a normalized analytic functions defined on the unit disk . Let an operator Ia,b;c(f ) be defined by [Ia,b;c(f )](z)= zF(a,b;c;z)∗f(z). In this paper the authors identify two subfamilies of analytic functions 1 and 2 and obtain conditions on the parameters a,b,c such that f ∈ 1 implies Ia,b;c(f )∈ 2.

The notion of B-convexity for operator spaces, which a priori depends on a set of parameters indexed by Σ, is defined. Some of the classical characterizations of this geometric notion for Banach spaces are studied in this new context. For instance, an operator space is BΣ-convex if and only if it has Σ-subtype. The class of uniformly non-L(Σ) operator spaces, which is also the class of BΣ-conve...
