On strong pseudomonotonicity and (semi)strict quasimonotonicity

New concepts of strong pseudomonotonicity, strict quasimonotonicity, and semistrict quasimonotonicity of a map are introduced and their properties are studied. In the case of a differentiable gradient map, we show that strong pseudomonotonicity of the gradient is equivalent to strong pseudoconvexity of the underlying function. This does not hold for a different concept of strong pseudomonotonicity in Ref. 1. Analogous results are shown for strict quasimonotonicity and semistrict quasimonotonicity.

Characterizations and Applications of Prequasi-Invex Functions

In this paper, two new types of generalized convex functions are introduced. They are called strictly prequasi-invex functions and semistrictly prequasi-invex functions. Note that prequasi-invexity does not imply semistrict prequasi-invexity. The characterization of prequasi-invex functions is established under the condition of lower semicontinuity, upper semicontinuity, and semistrict prequasi-invexity, respectively. Furthermore, the characterization of semistrictly prequasi-invex functions is also obtained under the condition of prequasi-invexity and lower semicontinuity, respectively. A similar result is also obtained for strictly prequasi-invex functions. It is worth noting that these characterizations reveal various interesting relationships among prequasi-invex, semistrictly prequasi-invex, and strictly prequasi-invex functions. Finally, prequasi-invex, semistrictly prequasi-invex, and strictly prequasi-invex functions are used in the study of optimization problems.     

Conditions for Error Bounds and Bounded Level Sets of Some Merit Functions for the Second-Order Cone Complementarity Problem

Recently this author studied several merit functions systematically for the second-order cone complementarity problem. These merit functions were shown to enjoy some favorable properties, to provide error bounds under the condition of strong monotonicity, and to have bounded level sets under the conditions of monotonicity as well as strict feasibility. In this paper, we weaken the condition of strong monotonicity to the so-called uniform P ^*-property, which is a new concept recently developed for linear and nonlinear transformations on Euclidean Jordan algebra. Moreover, we replace the monotonicity and strict feasibility by the so-called R ₀₁ or R ₀₂-functions to keep the property of bounded level sets. This work is partially supported by National Science Council of Taiwan.     

On the equivalence between strong solvability and strict semimonotonicity for some systems involving Z-functions

This paper focuses on the relationship between the strong solvability of a certain system involving a Z-function, and the strict semimonotonicity of such a function. Our main result shows that, for a system defined by a continuous, superhomogeneous Z-function, the additional condition of strict semimonotonicity is both necessary and sufficient for strong solvability.     

Testing strict monotonicity in nonparametric regression

A new test for strict monotonicity of the regression function is proposed which is based on a composition of an estimate of the inverse of the regression function with a common regression estimate. This composition is equal to the identity if and only if the “true” regression function is strictly monotone, and a test based on an L ²-distance is investigated. The asymptotic normality of the corresponding test statistic is established under the null hypothesis of strict monotonicity.
