Path-following interior point algorithms for the Cartesian <Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis><Subscript>*</Subscript>(κ)-LCP over symmetric cones

In this paper, we establish a theoretical framework of path-following interior point algorithms for the linear complementarity problems over symmetric cones (SCLCP) with the Cartesian P _*(κ)-property, a weaker condition than the monotonicity. Based on the Nesterov-Todd, xy and yx directions employed as commutative search directions for semidefinite programming, we extend the variants of the short-, semilong-, and long-step path-following algorithms for symmetric conic linear programming proposed by Schmieta and Alizadeh to the Cartesian P _*(κ)-SCLCP, and particularly show the global convergence and the iteration complexities of the proposed algorithms.

Null-quadrics of codimension 4 in ℂ7

In this paper we study the automorphisms of nondegenerate quadrics of type (4, 3). In particular, we classify the so-called null-quadrics (we prove that there are exactly two null-quadrics up to equivalence), and find their automorphism groups.

Existence of Solutions and of Multiple Solutions for Nonlinear Nonsmooth Periodic Systems

In this paper we examine nonlinear periodic systems driven by the vectorial p-Laplacian and with a nondifferentiable, locally Lipschitz nonlinearity. Our approach is based on the nonsmooth critical point theory and uses the subdifferential theory for locally Lipschitz functions. We prove existence and multiplicity results for the sublinear problem. For the semilinear problem (i.e. p = 2) using a nonsmooth multidimensional version of the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, we prove an existence theorem for the superlinear problem. Our work generalizes some recent results of Tang (PAMS 126(1998)).

Semistrictly quasiconvex mappings and non-convex vector optimization

This paper introduces a new class of non-convex vector functions strictly larger than that of P-quasiconvexity, with P ^m being the underlying ordering cone, called semistrictly ( ^m\ –int P)-quasiconvex functions. This notion allows us to unify various results on existence of weakly efficient (weakly Pareto) optima. By imposing a coercivity condition we establish also the compactness of the set of weakly Pareto solutions. In addition, we provide various characterizations for the non-emptiness, convexity and compactness of the solution set for a subclass of quasiconvex vector optimization problems on the real-line. Finally, it is also introduced the notion of explicit ( ^m\ –int P)-quasiconvexity (equivalently explicit (int P)-quasiconvexity) which plays the role of explicit quasiconvexity (quasiconvexity and semistrict quasiconvexity) of real-valued functions.Acknowldegements.The author wishes to thank both referees for their careful reading of the paper, their comments, remarks, helped to improve the presentation of some results.

On almost hyperHermitian structures on Riemannian manifolds and tangent bundles

Some results concerning almost hyperHermitian structures are considered, using the notions of the canonical connection and the second fundamental tensor field h of a structure on a Riemannian manifold which were introduced by the second author. With the help of any metric connection on an almost Hermitian manifold M an almost hyperHermitian structure can be constructed in the defined way on the tangent bundle TM. A similar construction was considered in [6], [7]. This structure includes two basic anticommutative almost Hermitian structures for which the second fundamental tensor fields h ¹ and h ² are computed. It allows us to consider various classes of almost hyperHermitian structures on TM. In particular, there exists an infinite-dimensional set of almost hyperHermitian structures on TTM where M is any Riemannian manifold.     

Existence of positive solutions of nonlinear fractional differential equations

Existence of positive solutions for the nonlinear fractional differential equation D^su(x)=f(x,u(x)), 0<s<1, has been studied (S. Zhang, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 252 (2000) 804-812), where D^s denotes Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. In the present work we study existence of positive solutions in case of the nonlinear fractional differential equation:
