Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As is well-known, Hahn-Banach-type results have their main applications in solving moment problems, the subdifferentiability of convex operators, controlled regularity, and characterizing the isotonicity of convex operators defined on a convex cone in terms of their subdifferentials. Such problems represent motivations of finding necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a linear extension from a vector subspace to the entire domain space, which is dominated by a convex operator and dominates a concave operator. These convex (and, respectively, concave) operators are defined on arbitrary convex subsets. For applications, topological versions of such results are emphasized. In this respect, the continuous convex-dominating operator usually controls the norm of the linear extension. Polynomial approximation on Cartesian products of unbounded closed intervals has been also applied to characterize the existence and uniqueness of the solution for some Markov moment problems in terms of quadratic forms. One partially solves the difficulty arising from the fact that, in several dimensions, there exist nonnegative polynomials that are not sums of squares. We invite the authors of related papers to submit them for publication in this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
