    Blaschke, Separation Theorems and some Topological Properties for Orthogonally Convex Sets

    Phan Thanh An, Nguyen Thi Le

    In this paper, we deal with analytic and geometric properties of orthogonally convex sets. We establish a Blaschke-type theorem for path-connected and orthogonally convex sets in the plane using orthogonally convex paths. The separation of these sets is established using suitable grids. Consequently, a closed and orthogonally convex set is represented by the intersection of staircase-halfplanes in the plane. Some topological properties of orthogonally convex sets in dimensional spaces are also given.

    Some remarks on convex analysis in topological groups

    Jonathan M. Borwein, Ohad Giladi

    We discuss some key results from convex analysis in the setting of topological groups and monoids. These include separation theorems, Krein-Milman type theorems, and minimax theorems.

    We consider subsemimodules and convex subsets of semimodules over semirings with an idempotent addition. We introduce a nonlinear projection on subsemimodules: the projection of a point is the maximal approximation from below of the point in the subsemimodule. We use this projection to separate a point from a convex set. We also show that the projection minimizes the analogue of Hilbert's projective metric. We develop more generally a theory of dual pairs for idempotent semimodules. We obtain as a corollary duality results between the row and column spaces of matrices with entries in idempotent semirings. We illustrate the results by showing polyhedra and half-spaces over the max-plus semiring.
