All Questions

Good morning everybody. First of all, I apologise to ask here the same question I asked on MSE three days ago, but I am in fact re-asking since I obtained no relevant advice. Perhaps I will hear some ...

Let $0<a<d/2$, let $B$ be the unit ball in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ centered at the origin, and let $f:B \to [0,\infty[$ be a a smooth function such that (1) $f(x)\geq f(0).$ (2) $\nabla f(x)\neq 0,\...

Consider a twice differentiable 1-strongly convex function $f:\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}$. Is it true that there exists $\alpha>0$ independent of $n$ such that, for all $x \in \mathbb{R}^n$: \...

Let $f:\mathbb R^+ \to \mathbb R$ be a smooth function, satisfying $f(1)=0$, and suppose that $|f|$ grows with the distance from $1$: $|f(x)|$ is strictly increasing when $x \ge 1$, and strictly ...
