Abstract

We introduce Blaschke addition and homothety operations on log-concave functions and study their affine-geometric consequences. Our starting point is the first variation formula of Falah and Rotem (Calc. Var. and PDE, 2026), which associates to each log-concave function a pair of surface area measures. Using the additivity of these measures, we define a canonical Blaschke sum and Blaschke homothety on the class of log-concave functions, uniquely determined up to translation. We establish the basic algebraic properties of these operations, define the associated Blaschke symmetral, and show that this symmetrization preserves both total mass and the first quermassintegral. We also prove that successive Blaschke symmetrizations converge, after translations, to a radially symmetric log-concave function, which we call the mean Blaschke symmetral. We then relate the canonical theory to projection-type constructions. In particular, we show that the functional projection body arising from the first variation coincides with the projection body of the asymmetric LYZ body, and we derive corresponding intertwining properties. As applications, we prove concavity of the entropy with respect to the canonical Blaschke sum and obtain associated Kneser--S\"uss-type inequalities. We also study a functional version of affine surface area, and prove affine isoperimetric inequalities for log-concave functions. In particular, we obtain a Blaschke-concavity property for the affine surface area and show that it is maximized, under fixed first quermassintegral, by radially symmetric functions.

Typical dynamical properties of operators on $\ell_p$

We investigate the typical dynamical properties of hypercyclic operators in $\mathcal{L}_M(X)$, the set of all bounded linear operators on $X$ whose norms are at most $M$, when $X=\ell_p$, $1< p<\infty$. We show that, with respect to SOT$^*$, a typical operator $T\in \mathcal{L}_M(X)$ is weakly mixing, is weakly disjoint from a given hypercyclic operator $S$, is not topologically ergodic, and satisfies $(T,T^2,\dotsc,T^k)$ is disjoint hypercyclic for any $k\geq 2$. We also study the typical dynamical properties for the concrete family $\mathcal{M}=\{I+B_w\in \mathcal{L}(X)\colon w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}$, endowed with the norm topology, where $B_w$ is a bilateral weighted backward shift.

A bi-Lipschitz characterization of strong minimum-attainment for Lipschitz maps

We completely characterize the denseness of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions, a minimum analogue for strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions, in terms of bi-Lipschitz embeddings. More precisely, our main result shows that the set of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions defined on a complete metric space $M$ fails the denseness if and only if $M$ is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ with positive Lebesgue measure, or equivalently, if $M$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $\mathbb{R}$ and $M$ has positive 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence, we provide an isometric characterization of the pure 1-unrectifiability of $M$ in terms of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz maps defined on bi-Lipschitz copies of closed subsets of $M$. Several counterexamples showing that the main result cannot be naturally extended to the vector-valued setting are also presented.

On weak dominance of t-conorms over t-norms

The weak dominance of aggregation operators, particularly between triangular norms (t-norms) and triangular conorms (t-conorms), has attracted considerable attention in aggregation operator theory. While several characterizations have been obtained for Archimedean and continuous cases, a general criterion for continuous t-conorms over continuous t-norms remains to be fully clarified. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of a continuous t-conorm weakly dominating a continuous t-norm. We first reduce the problem for ordinal sum operators to that for their single Archimedean components, and then express the weak dominance condition entirely in terms of the additive generators of these components. Our approach covers both strict and nilpotent cases uniformly, and recovers the known results for Archimedean operators as a special case.
