Henig proper efficient points and generalized Henig proper efficient points

Applying the theory of locally convex spaces to vector optimization, we investigate the relationship between Henig proper efficient points and generalized Henig proper efficient points. In particular, we obtain a sufficient and necessary condition for generalized Henig proper efficient points to be Henig proper efficient points. From this, we derive several convenient criteria for judging Henig proper efficient points.

Higher-order optimality conditions for strict local minima

In this work, we study a nonsmooth optimization problem with generalized inequality constraints and an arbitrary set constraint. We present necessary conditions for a point to be a strict local minimizer of order k in terms of higher-order (upper and lower) Studniarski derivatives and the contingent cone to the constraint set. In the same line, when the initial space is finite dimensional, we develop sufficient optimality conditions. We also provide sufficient conditions for minimizers of order k using the lower Studniarski derivative of the Lagrangian function. Particular interest is put for minimizers of order two, using now a special second order derivative which leads to the Fréchet derivative in the differentiable case.     

Existence of uncertainty minimizers for the continuous wavelet transform

Continuous wavelet design is the endeavor to construct mother wavelets with desirable properties for the continuous wavelet transform (CWT). One class of methods for choosing a mother wavelet involves minimizing a functional, called the wavelet uncertainty functional. Recently, two new wavelet uncertainty functionals were derived from theoretical foundations. In both approaches, the uncertainty of a mother wavelet describes its concentration, or accuracy, as a time-scale probe. While an uncertainty minimizing mother wavelet can be proven to have desirable localization properties, the existence of such a minimizer was never studied. In this paper, we prove the existence of minimizers for the two uncertainty functionals.     

Radially symmetric minimizers for a p-Ginzburg Landau type energy in {\mathbb R^2}

We consider the minimization of a p-Ginzburg-Landau energy functional over the class of radially symmetric functions of degree one. We prove the existence of a unique minimizer in this class, and show that its modulus is monotone increasing and concave. We also study the asymptotic limit of the minimizers as p ?? ??. Finally, we prove that the radially symmetric solution is locally stable for 2?<?p????4.

Optimality conditions for various efficient solutions involving coderivatives: From set-valued optimization problems to set-valued equilibrium problems

We present a new approach to the study of a set-valued equilibrium problem (for short, SEP) through the study of a set-valued optimization problem with a geometric constraint (for short, SOP) based on an equivalence between solutions of these problems. As illustrations, we adapt to SEP enhanced notions of relative Pareto efficient solutions introduced in set optimization by Bao and Mordukhovich and derive from known or new optimality conditions for various efficient solutions of SOP similar results for solutions of SEP as well as for solutions of a vector equilibrium problem and a vector variational inequality.We also introduce the concept of quasi weakly efficient solutions for the above problems and divide all efficient solutions under consideration into the Pareto-type group containing Pareto efficient, primary relative efficient, intrinsic relative efficient, quasi relative efficient solutions and the weak Pareto-type group containing quasi weakly efficient, weakly efficient, strongly efficient, positive properly efficient, Henig global properly efficient, Henig properly efficient, super efficient and Benson properly efficient solutions. The necessary conditions for Pareto-type efficient solutions and necessary/sufficient conditions for weak Pareto-type efficient solutions formulated here are expressed in terms of the Ioffe approximate coderivative and normal cone in the Banach space setting and in terms of the Mordukhovich coderivative and normal cone in the Asplund space setting.

Necessary conditions for super minimizers in constrained multiobjective optimization

This paper concerns the study of the so-called super minimizers related to the concept of super efficiency in constrained problems of multiobjective optimization, where cost mappings are generally set-valued. We derive necessary conditions for super minimizers on the base of advanced tools of variational analysis and generalized differentiation that are new in both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional settings for problems with single-valued and set-valued objectives.      

Density theorems for generalized Henig proper efficiency

We develop a new, simple technique of proof for density theorems (i.e.,for the sufficient conditions to guarantee that the proper efficient points of a set are dense in the efficient frontier) in an ordered topological vector space. The results are the following: (i) the set of proper efficient points of any compact setQ is dense in the set of efficient points with respect to the original topology of the space whenever the ordering coneK is weakly closed and admits strictly positive functionals; moreover, ifK is not weakly closed, then there exists a compact set for which the density statement fails; (ii) ifQ is weakly compact, then we have only weak density, but ifK has a closed bounded base, then we can assert the density with respect to the original topology, (iii) there exists a similar possibility to assert the strong density for weakly compactQ if additional restrictions are placed onQ instead ofK. These three results are obtained in a unified way as corollaries of the same statement. In this paper, we use the concept of proper efficiency due to Henig. We extend his definition to the setting of a Hausdorff topological vector space.Research of the first author was supported by the Foundation of Fundamental Research of the Republic of Belarus. Authors are grateful to Professor Valentin V. Gorokhovik for suggesting the problem studied in this paper and for numerous fruitful conversations.     

Local minimizers versus X-local minimizers

An important property known, among other cases, for W ^1,p (Ω) versus ${C^1(\overline{\Omega})}$ -local minimizers of certain functions is extended to the general situation of local minimizers of a functional I on a Banach space Y versus X-local minimizers of I provided X is a Banach space continuously and densely embedded in Y.     

Existence and uniqueness for P-area minimizers in the Heisenberg group

In [3] we studied p-mean curvature and the associated p-minimal surfaces in the Heisenberg group from the viewpoint of PDE and differential geometry. In this paper, we look into the problem through the variational formulation. We study a generalized p-area and associated ( p-) minimizers in general dimensions. We prove the existence and investigate the uniqueness of minimizers. Since this is reduced to solving a degenerate elliptic equation, we need to consider the effect of the singular set and this requires a careful study. We define the notion of weak solution and prove that in a certain Sobolev space, a weak solution is a minimizer and vice versa. We also give many interesting examples in dimension 2. An intriguing point is that, in dimension 2, a C ²-smooth solution from the PDE viewpoint may not be a minimizer. However, this statement is true for higher dimensions due to the relative smallness of the size of the singular set.     

Uniqueness of vortexless Ginzburg-Landau type minimizers in two dimensions

In a simply connected two dimensional domain Ω, we consider Ginzburg-Landau minimizers u with zero degree Dirichlet boundary condition ${g \in H^{1/2}(\partial \Omega; \mathbb{S}^1)}$ . We prove uniqueness of u whenever either the energy or the Ginzburg-Landau parameter are small. This generalizes a result of Ye and Zhou requiring smoothness of g. We also obtain uniqueness when Ω is multiply connected and the degrees of the vortexless minimizer u are prescribed on the components of the boundary, generalizing a result of Golovaty and Berlyand for annular domains. The proofs rely on new global estimates connecting the variation of |u| to the Ginzburg-Landau energy of u. These estimates replace the usual global pointwise estimates satisfied by ${\nabla u}$ when g is smooth, and apply to fairly general potentials. In a related direction, we establish new uniqueness results for critical points of the Ginzburg-Landau energy.     

A discrete dynamic convexized method for nonlinear integer programming

In this paper, we consider the box constrained nonlinear integer programming problem. We present an auxiliary function, which has the same discrete global minimizers as the problem. The minimization of the function using a discrete local search method can escape successfully from previously converged discrete local minimizers by taking increasing values of a parameter. We propose an algorithm to find a global minimizer of the box constrained nonlinear integer programming problem. The algorithm minimizes the auxiliary function from random initial points. We prove that the algorithm can converge asymptotically with probability one. Numerical experiments on a set of test problems show that the algorithm is efficient and robust.     

Boundary regularity for almost minimizers of quasiconvex variational problems

We consider boundary regularity for almost minimizers of quasiconvex variational integrals with polynomial growth of order p ≥ 2, and obtain a general criterion for an almost minimizer to be regular in the neighbourhood of a given boundary point. Combined with existing results on interior partial regularity, the proof yields directly the optimal regularity for an almost minimizer in this neighbourhood.
