In this theory, the traditional Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is replaced by the CS-ratio, which gives rise to special characteristic functions, called CS-functions. These functions partite the ray space $mathrm{Ray}(V)$ into convex sets and establish the main tool for analyzing varieties of quasilinear stars in $mathrm{Ray}(V)$. They provide stratifications of $mathrm{Ray}(V)$ and, therefore, a finer convex analysis that helps better understand geometric properties.","PeriodicalId":50540,"journal":{"name":"Electronic Journal of Linear Algebra","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46815883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
