In this paper, we study the Dirichlet problem associated with infinity-Laplacian type equations that may exhibit anisotropic character. We identify a broad class of nonlinearities for which the ...problem may or may not admit viscosity solutions for any continuous boundary data. We also discuss comparison with Finsler cones, which may be of independent interest.
In this paper, we prove a Harnack inequality for nonnegative viscosity supersolutions of nonhomogeneous equations associated with normalized Finsler infinity-Laplace operators.
Viscosity solutions to ...homogeneous equations are also characterized via an asymptotic mean-value property, understood in a viscosity sense.
We apply the technique of Károly Bezdek and Daniel Bezdek to study billiard trajectories in convex bodies, when the length is measured with a (possibly asymmetric) norm. We prove a lower bound for ...the length of the shortest closed billiard trajectory, related to the non-symmetric Mahler problem. With this technique we are able to give short and elementary proofs to some known results.
We describe the basic properties of a norm and introduce the Minkowski norm. We then show that the OWA aggregation operator can be used to provide norms. To enable this we require that the OWA ...weights satisfy the buoyancy property, w j ¿ w k for j < k . We consider a number of different classes of OWA norms. It is shown that the functional generation of the weights of an OWA norm requires the weight generating function have a non-positive second derivative. We discuss the use of the generalized OWA operator to provide norms. Finally we describe the use of OWA operators to induce similarity measures.

Finsler metrics are direct generalizations of Riemannian metrics such that the quadratic Riemannian indicatrices in the tangent spaces of a manifold are replaced by more general convex bodies as unit ...spheres. A linear connection on the base manifold is called compatible with the Finsler metric if the induced parallel transports preserve the Finslerian length of tangent vectors. Finsler manifolds admitting compatible linear connections are called generalized Berwald manifolds Wagner (Dokl Acad Sci USSR (N.S.) 39:3–5, 1943). Compatible linear connections are the solutions of the so-called compatibility equations containing the components of the torsion tensor as unknown quantities. Although there are some theoretical results for the solvability of the compatibility equations (monochromatic Finsler metrics Bartelmeß and Matveev (J Diff Geom Appl 58:264–271, 2018), extremal compatible linear connections and algorithmic solutions Vincze (Aequat Math 96:53–70, 2022)), it is very hard to solve them in general because compatible linear connections may or may not exist on a Finsler manifold and may or may not be unique. Therefore special cases are of special interest. One of them is the case of the so-called semi-symmetric compatible linear connection with decomposable torsion tensor. It is proved Vincze (Publ Math Debrecen 83(4):741–755, 2013 (see also Vincze (Euro J Math 3:1098–1171, 2017))) that such a compatible linear connection must be uniquely determined. The original proof is based on averaging in the sense that the 1-form in the decomposition of the torsion tensor can be expressed by integrating differential forms on the tangent manifold over the Finslerian indicatrices. The integral formulas are very difficult to compute in practice. In what follows we present a new proof for the uniqueness by using linear algebra and some basic facts about convex bodies. We present an explicit formula for the solution without integration. The method has a new contribution to the problem as well: necessary conditions of the solvability are formulated in terms of intrinsic equations without unknown quantities.
In the context of partially ordered vector spaces one encounters different sorts of order convergence and order topologies. This article investigates these notions and their relations. In particular, ...we study and relate the order topology presented by Floyd, Vulikh and Dobbertin, the order bound topology studied by Namioka and the concept of order convergence given in the works of Abramovich, Sirotkin, Wolk and Vulikh. We prove that the considered topologies disagree for all infinite dimensional Archimedean vector lattices that contain order units. For reflexive Banach spaces equipped with ice cream cones we show that the order topology, the order bound topology and the norm topology agree and that order convergence is equivalent to norm convergence.
