Title<\/strong>: An algebraic view of the smallest strictly monotonic function<\/p>\n Abstract:<\/b> The talk concerns with one of the most popular functions to derive nonconvex separation results. Complete characterizations for both its level sets and basic properties such as monotonicity and convexity are provided in terms of its parameters. Most of these characterizations work without considering any additional requirement or assumption. Finally, as an application, a vectorial form of the Ekeland variational principle is provided.<\/p>\n A recorded video of the conference is here<\/a> ;\u00a0 the slides can be downloaded here<\/a><\/p>\n Venue<\/strong>: Online via Google Meet\u00a0 meet.google.com\/tta-bhpu-raa<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n A brief biography of the speaker<\/span><\/span><\/strong>: C\u00e9sar Guti\u00e9rrez (ORCID iD 0000-0002-8223-2088) is Professor at Universidad of Valladolid (Spain) and researcher of the Mathematics Research Institute of the University of Valladolid (IMUVA).
