Reference request for elementary convex geometry property
Indeed, this can be proved more simply, and in greater generality -- assuming only that the support of $P$ is contained in $C$ (rather than in $\mathcal X$).
Indeed, without loss of generality the aff …

Does approximately null gradient imply approximately global minimum for convex functions?
$\newcommand\Om\Omega\newcommand\R{\Bbb R}$The answer is no.
Indeed, for real $k>0$, let
$$G_k:=\{(x,y)\in\Bbb R^2\colon x>1,|y|<k\sqrt x\}. $$
For $(x,y)\in G_2$, let
$$f_0(x,y):=y^2/x-1.$$
For all $ …

Points of differentiability of convex functions
Actually, your desired conclusion does "follow just from $D$ having full measure".
Indeed, without loss of generality, $U=(-1,1)^2$. Let
$$X:=\{x\in(-1,1)\colon|D_x|=2\},$$
where $D_x:=\{y\in(-1,1)\co …

Does uniform convergence of suitable functions yield pathwise convergence of their convex en...
$\newcommand\ep\varepsilon$The answer is yes, and we only need the uniform convergence of $f_k$ to $f$. Moreover, then $co(f_k)\to co(f)$ uniformly as well.
Indeed, for each real $x$,
$$co(f)(x)=\sup\ …

Is it true that the set $\{x\colon \partial\phi(x)\subset B_r(0)\}$ is convex when $\phi$ is...
The answer is no. Indeed, consider the case when $n=2$ and
$$f(x,y)=\max(| x|,2 | y|)$$
for all $(x,y)\in\mathbb R^2$.
Then for $(x,y)$ near $(\pm1,0)$ we have $f(x,y)=|x|$ and hence $\partial f(\pm1, …

Projection of an element of the $n$-simplex onto subset
$\newcommand\S{\mathbb S}$Let $|\cdot|$ denote the Euclidean distance and let $k\ge1$ denote the cardinality of $K$. Then for any $x\in\S^n$ and $y\in\S_n(K)$
$$|y-x|^2=\sum_{j\notin K}x_j^2+\sum_{j\i …

Property of $p$-norm in the $n$-simplex
The answer is yes if $p=2$ (by the Pythagoras theorem: $\|x\|_2^2=\|x-u\|_2^2+\|u\|_2^2$, because $x-u\perp u$) and, obviously, if $p=1$ or $n\le2$.
Otherwise, the answer is no, because then the value …

Extending a convex function to a higher dimensional domain
Yes: Just take $u(x,y):=v(x)$, which will be assumed in what follows.
Indeed, one can use Green's formula to show this, as is done in Christian Remling's answer.
More generally, the result holds for a …

On the additive property of the subdifferential of lower semicontinuous functions
In part (P3) of Definition 2.1 in the paper you linked, it is also required that $g$ be $\partial$-differentiable at $x$ (meaning that both $\partial g(x)$ and $\partial(-g)(x)$ are nonempty), which i …

If $|P|<\infty$ and $C=P\cap\partial(\textrm{Conv}(P))$, then $P\subset\textrm{Conv}(C)$?
$\newcommand\conv{\operatorname{conv}}\newcommand\ext{\operatorname{ext}}\newcommand\p{\partial}$The answer is yes. Indeed, let $K:=\conv P$ (the convex hull of $P$), let $\p K$ be the boundary of $K$ …

Distance between convex hulls in a bounded closed convex set
$\newcommand\la\lambda$The answer is no. E.g., suppose that $X=\ell^\infty$, $z_1=e_1$, $z_2=-e_1+e_2$, and $z_k=e_2/2+e_k/k$ for $k\ge3$, where $(e_1,e_2,\dots)$ is the standard basis of $\ell^\infty …

Log-concavity of the difference of the second anti-derivative of Gaussians
This conjecture is true.
Indeed, for $h:=\ln(f_a-f_b)$ and real $x\ne0$ we have
\begin{equation}
h'(x)=R(x):=\frac{F(x)}{G(x)},
\end{equation}
where

F(x):=\sqrt{\pi }

Monotone likelihood ratio of densities based on power function
This conjecture is true.
Indeed, we have to show that for $x$ and $t$ in $(0,\pi/2)$ we have
\begin{equation}
h_2(p;x,t):=\partial_x\partial_t\,\ln(|\cos(x-t)|^p-|\cos(x+t)|^p)

Sign Regularity of a Density Kernel with Convexity Properties

Indeed, suppose it is true. Then (letting $x:=\phi$, $t:=\theta_1$, and $\theta_2\downarrow\theta_1=t$) we see that for any stric …
