A filter-line-search method for unconstrained optimization

A new filter-line-search algorithm for unconstrained nonlinear optimization problems is proposed. Based on the filter technique introduced by Fletcher and Leyffer (Math. Program. 91:239–269, 2002) it extends an existing technique of Wächter and Biegler (SIAM J. Comput. 16:1–31, 2005) for nonlinear equality constrained problem to the fully general unconstrained optimization problem. The proposed method, which differs from their approach, does not depend on any external restoration procedure. Global and local quadratic convergence is established under some reasonable conditions. The results of numerical experiments indicate that it is very competitive with the classical line search algorithm.

The self-amalgamation of high distance Heegaard splittings is always efficient

Let M be a compact orientable irreducible 3-manifold, F be an essential non-separating closed surface in M. We denote by η(F) the open regular neighborhood of F. If M−η(F) has a high distance Heegaard splitting, then M has a unique minimal Heegaard splitting up to isotopy.     

Applying copula models to individual claim loss reserving methods

The estimation of loss reserves for incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims presents an important task for insurance companies to predict their liabilities. Recently, individual claim loss models have attracted a great deal of interest in the actuarial literature, which overcome some shortcomings of aggregated claim loss models. The dependence of the event times with the delays is a crucial issue for estimating the claim loss reserving. In this article, we propose to use semi-competing risks copula and semi-survival copula models to fit the dependence structure of the event times with delays in the individual claim loss model. A nonstandard two-step procedure is applied to our setting in which the associate parameter and one margin are estimated based on an ad hoc estimator of the other margin. The asymptotic properties of the estimators are established as well. A simulation study is carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed methods.     

Attractors for discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with delay

In this paper,we first prove the existence of the global attractor Aν ∈ C（[-ν,0],2）（ν 0） for a weak damping discrete nonlinear Schrdinger equation with delay.Then we consider an upper semi-continuity of Aν as ν → 0＋.     

A Class Hermite Pseudospectral Approximate with ω（x） ≡1 and Application to Reaction-diffusion Equation

In this paper, we continue the discussion of [12] to establish the Hermite pseudospectral method with weight ω（x） = 1. As an application, we consider the pseudospectral approximation of the reaction-diffusion equation on the whole line, we prove the existence of the approximate attractor and give the error estimate for the approximate solution.

Characteristic boundary layers for parabolic perturbations of quasilinear hyperbolic problems

In this paper, we study the existence and nonlinear stability of the totally characteristic boundary layer for the quasilinear equations with positive definite viscosity matrix under the assumption that the boundary matrix vanishes identically on the boundary x=0. We carry out a series of weighted estimates to the boundary layer equations—Prandtl type equations to get the regularity and the far field behavior of the solutions. This allows us to perform a weighted energy estimate for the error equation to prove the stability of the boundary layers. The stability result finally implies the asymptotic limit of the viscous solutions.
