Continuing the work of Hiriart-Urruty and Phelps, we discuss (in both locally convex spaces and Banach spaces) the formulas for the conjugates and subdifferentials of the precomposition of a convex function by a continuous linear mapping and the marginal function of a convex function by a continuous linear mapping. We exhibit a certain (incomplete) duality between the operations of precompositi...

1. Introduction and notation. In this paper the word " local " is used in at least three different meanings. Our aim is to study local Banach spaces of Fréchet or other locally convex spaces, and it turns out that it is convenient to use the local theory of Banach spaces for this purpose. Recall that given a locally convex space E and a continuous seminorm p on E the completion of the normed sp...

Let X be a linear space. A p-norm on X is a real-valued function on X with 0 < p ≤ 1, satisfying the following conditions: (i) ‖x‖p ≥ 0 and ‖x‖p = 0⇔ x = 0, (ii) ‖αx‖p = |α|p‖x‖p, (iii) ‖x+ y‖p ≤ ‖x‖p +‖y‖p, for all x, y ∈ X and all scalars α. The pair (X ,‖ · ‖p) is called a p-normed space. It is a metric linear space with a translation invariant metric dp defined by dp(x, y)= ‖x− y‖p for all ...

Let $p:Xlo B$ be a locally trivial principal G-bundle and $wt{p}:wt{X}lo B$ be a locally trivial principal $wt{G}$-bundle. In this paper, by using the structure of principal bundles according to transition functions, we show that $wt{G}$ is a covering group of $G$ if and only if $wt{X}$ is a covering space of $X$. Then we conclude that a topological space $X$ with non-simply connected universal...

Many physical simulators linearize contact constraints such that each contact constraint defines a half-space in the configuration space of the effected objects. By modeling contact constraints as infinitely extending half spaces it is only possible to approximate regions in configuration space that are locally convex. This implicit assumption of local convexity introduces artifacts in the resu...

ing the above, for a (not necessarily countable) family . . . φ2 // B1 φ1 // Bo of Banach spaces with continuous linear transition maps as indicated, not recessarily requiring the continuous linear maps to be injective (or surjective), a (projective) limit limiBi is a topological vector space with continuous linear maps limiBi → Bj such that, for every compatible family of continuous linear map...

This paper provides some useful results for convex risk measures. In fact, we consider convex functions on a locally convex vector space E which are monotone with respect to the preference relation implied by some convex cone and invariant with respect to some numeraire (“cash”). As a main result, for any function f , we find the greatest closed convex monotone and cash-invariant function major...
