We prove a direct theorem for convex polynomial L p-approximation, 0 < p < 1, in terms of the classical modulus of smoothness ! 3 (f; t) p. This theorem may be regarded as an extension to L p of the well-known pointwise estimates of the Timan type and their variants of R. DeVore, Y. K. Hu and D. Leviatan for convex approximation in L p. It leads to a characterization of convex functions in Lips...

A language L is prefix-convex if, whenever words u and w are in L with u a prefix of w, then every word v which has u as a prefix and is a prefix of w is also in L. Similarly, we define suffix-, factor-, and subword-convex languages, where by subword we mean subsequence. Together, these languages constitute the class of convex languages which contains interesting subclasses, such as ideals, clo...

For a function defined on a convex set in a Euclidean space, midpoint convexity is the property requiring that the value of the function at the midpoint of any line segment is not greater than the average of its values at the endpoints of the line segment. Midpoint convexity is a well-known characterization of ordinary convexity under very mild assumptions. For a function defined on the integer...

Consider L being a continuous lattice, two functors from the category of convex spaces (denoted by CS) to the category of stratified L-convex spaces (denoted by SL-CS) are defined. The first functor enables us to prove that the category CS can be embedded in the category SL-CS as a reflective subcategory. The second functor enables us to prove that the category CS can be embedded in the categor...

It is shown that every equi-affine invariant and upper semicontinuous valuation on the space of convex discs is a linear combination of the Euler characteristic, area, and affine length. Asymptotic formulae for approximation of convex discs by polygons are derived, extending results of L. Fejes Tóth from smooth convex discs to general convex discs. 1991 AMS subject classification: 52A10, 53A15,...

The theorem of Jung establishes a relation between circumradius and diameter of a convex body. The half of the diameter can be interpreted as the maximum of circumradii of all 1-dimensional sections or 1-dimensional orthogonal projections of a convex body. This point of view leads to two series of j-dimensional circumradii, defined via sections or projections. In this paper we study some relati...

This paper is concerned with the algebraic K-theory of locally convex C-algebras stabilized by operator ideals, and its comparison with topological K-theory. We show that if L is locally convex and J a Fréchet operator ideal, then all the different variants of topological K-theory agree on the completed projective tensor product L⊗̂J , and that the obstruction for the comparison map K(L⊗̂J ) → K(...

This theorem is similar to the well known result that any point in the convex hull of a set E in an w-dimensional euclidean space lies in the convex hull of some subset of E containing at most n-\-l points [l, 2 ] . 1 In these theorems the set E is an arbitrary set in the space. The convex hull of E, denoted by H(E), is the set product of all convex sets in the space which contain E. A euclidea...

In this paper we address the problem of dynamic MRI reconstruction from partially sampled K-space data. Our work is motivated by previous studies in this area that proposed exploiting the spatiotemporal correlation of the dynamic MRI sequence by posing the reconstruction problem as a least squares minimization regularized by sparsity and low-rank penalties. Ideally the sparsity and low-rank pen...
