Inverse problems and solution methods for a class of nonlinear complementarity problems

In this paper, motivated by the KKT optimality conditions for a sort of quadratic programs, we first introduce a class of nonlinear complementarity problems (NCPs). Then we present and discuss a kind of inverse problems of the NCPs, i.e., for a given feasible decision [`(x)]\bar{x} , we aim to characterize the set of parameter values for which there exists a point [`(y)]\bar{y} such that ([`(x)],[`(y)])(\bar{x},\bar{y}) forms a solution of the NCP and require the parameter values to be adjusted as little as possible. This leads to an inverse optimization problem. In particular, under ℓ _∞, ℓ ₁ and Frobenius norms as well as affine maps, this paper presents three simple and efficient solution methods for the inverse NCPs. Finally, some preliminary numerical results show that the proposed methods are very promising.     

Global solvability of the Cauchy problem for the Navier–Stokes equation in \mathbb {R}^3 for some class of initial data

In this paper we prove the existence of regular solutions to the Navier–Stokes equations if the initial data v ₀ have some finite weighted norm and supp v ₀ belongs to , is a ball with radius R ₀, where R ₀ is sufficiently large. The proof follows from appropriate estimates in weighted Sobolev spaces. K. Pileckas was supported by EC FP6 MC-ToK programme SPADE 2, MTKD-CT-2004-014508.

Existence and nonexistence of maximizers for variational problems associated with Trudinger–Moser type inequalities in $${mathbb{R}^N}$$

We discuss the existence of a maximizer for a maximizing problem associated with the Trudinger–Moser type inequality in mathbbR^N(N 3 2){mathbb{R}^N(Ngeq 2)}. Different from the bounded domain case, we obtain both of the existence and the nonexistence results. The proof requires a careful estimate of the maximizing level with the aid of normalized vanishing sequences.     

The Aronszajn–Donoghue Theory for Rank One Perturbations of the $$\mathcal{H}_{-2} {\text{-Class}}$$

A singular rank one perturbation of a self-adjoint operator A in a Hilbert space is considered, where and but with the usual A–scale of Hilbert spaces. A modified version of the Aronszajn-Krein formula is given. It has the form where F denotes the regularized Borel transform of the scalar spectral measure of A associated with . Using this formula we develop a variant of the well known Aronszajn–Donoghue spectral theory for a general rank one perturbation of the class.Submitted: March 14, 2002 Revised: December 15, 2002     

Counterexamples to Hölmgren's uniqueness for analytic non linear Cauchy problems

Summary In contrast to Hölmgren uniqueness for linear equations and to the similar uniqueness result for first order scalar nonlinear equations, this paper gives elementary examples of analytic nonlinear higher order equations, for which uniqueness ofC solutions to the non characteristic Cauchy problem fails.Oblatum 11-V-1992 & 19-X-1992

Global solutions of non-Lipschitz S_{2}–S_{p} minimization over the positive semidefinite cone

The \(S_2\) – \(S_p\) minimization over the positive semidefinite cone is the semidefinite least squares problem with Schatten \(p\) -quasi ( \(0 ) norm regularization term. It has wide applications in many areas including compressed sensing, control, statistics, signal and image processing, etc. In this paper, by developing the symmetric matrix \(\mathrm {p}\) -thresholding operator representation theory, we establish the necessary condition for global optimal solutions of \(S_2\) – \(S_p\) minimization, and also provide the exact lower bound for the positive eigenvalues at global optimal solutions.     

Covers ℘ for Abstract Regular Polytopes \mathcal {Q} such that \mathcal{Q}=\mathcal{P}/\mathbf{Z}_{p}^{k}

One key problem in the theory of abstract polytopes is the so-called amalgamation problem. In its most general form, this is the problem of characterising the polytopes with given facets  $\mathcal {K}$ and vertex figures ?. The first step in solving it for particular  $\mathcal{K}$ and ? is to find the universal such polytope, which covers all the others. This article explains a construction that may be attempted on an arbitrary polytope ?, which often yields an infinite family of finite polytopes covering ? and sharing its facets and vertex figures. The existence of such an infinite family proves that the universal polytope is infinite; alternatively, the construction can produce an explicit example of an infinite polytope of the desired type. An algorithm for attempting the construction is explained, along with sufficient conditions for it to work. The construction is applied to a few  $\mathcal{K}$ and ? for which it was previously not known whether or not the universal polytope was infinite, or for which only a finite number of finite polytopes was previously known. It is conjectured that the construction is quite broadly applicable.     

A hyperbolicity criterion for subgroups of $mathcal{RF}(G)$

This paper continues the investigation of the groups RF(G)mathcal{RF}(G) first introduced in the forthcoming book of Chiswell and Müller “A Class of Groups Universal for Free ℝ-Tree Actions” and in the article by Müller and Schlage-Puchta (Abh. Math. Semin. Univ. Hambg. 79:193–227, 2009). We establish a criterion for a family {H_s}{mathcal{H}_{sigma}} of hyperbolic subgroups H_s ￡ RF(G)mathcal{H}_{sigma}leqmathcal{RF}(G) to generate a hyperbolic subgroup isomorphic to the free product of the H_smathcal{H}_{sigma} (Theorem 1.2), as well as a local-global principle for local incompatibility (Theorem 4.1). In conjunction with the theory of test functions as developed by Müller and Schlage-Puchta (Abh. Math. Semin. Univ. Hambg. 79:193–227, 2009), these results allow us to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a free product of real groups to embed as a hyperbolic subgroup in RF(G)mathcal{RF}(G) for a given group G (Corollary 5.4). As a further application, we show that the centralizers associated with a family of pairwise locally incompatible cyclically reduced functions in RF(G)mathcal{RF}(G) generate a hyperbolic subgroup isomorphic to the free product of these centralizers (Corollary 5.2).     

{\mathbb{Z}_2}-bordism and the Borsuk–Ulam Theorem

The purpose of this work is to classify, for given integers \({m,\, n\geq 1}\), the bordism class of a closed smooth \({m}\)-manifold \({X^m}\) with a free smooth involution \({\tau}\) with respect to the validity of the Borsuk–Ulam property that for every continuous map \({\phi : X^m \to \mathbb{R}^n}\) there exists a point \({x\in X^m}\) such that \({\phi (x)=\phi (\tau (x))}\). We will classify a given free \({\mathbb{Z}_2}\)-bordism class \({\alpha}\) according to the three possible cases that (a) all representatives \({(X^m, \tau)}\) of \({\alpha}\) satisfy the Borsuk–Ulam property; (b) there are representatives \({({X_{1}^{m}}, \tau_1)}\) and \({({X_{2}^{m}}, \tau_2)}\) of \({\alpha}\) such that \({({X_{1}^{m}}, \tau_1)}\) satisfies the Borsuk–Ulam property but \({({X_{2}^{m}}, \tau_2)}\) does not; (c) no representative \({(X^m, \tau)}\) of \({\alpha}\) satisfies the Borsuk–Ulam property.

Classification of finite Morse index solutions for Hénon type elliptic equation -\Delta u = |x|^{\alpha } u_{+}^{p}

In this paper we investigate the non-autonomous elliptic equations \(-\Delta u = |x|^{\alpha } u_{+}^{p}\) in \( \mathbb{R }^{N}\) and in \( \mathbb{R }_+^{N}\) with the Dirichlet boundary condition, with \(N \ge 2\) , \(p>1\) and \(\alpha >-2\) . We consider the weak solutions with finite Morse index and obtain some classification results.     

Lattice-theoretic characterizations of the group classes {\mathfrak{N}^{k-1}\mathfrak{A}} and {\mathfrak{N}^k} for k?�� 2

Let ${2\leq k\in \mathbb{N}}$ . Recently, Costantini and Zacher obtained a lattice-theoretic characterization of the classes ${\mathfrak{N}^k}$ of finite soluble groups with nilpotent length at most k. It is the aim of this paper to give a lattice-theoretic characterization of the classes ${\mathfrak{N}^{k-1}\mathfrak{A}}$ of finite groups with commutator subgroup in ${\mathfrak{N}^{k-1}}$ ; in addition, our method also yields a new characterization of the classes ${\mathfrak{N}^k}$ . The main idea of our approach is to use two well-known theorems of Gaschütz on the Frattini and Fitting subgroups of finite groups.

Irreducible Modules Over Witt Algebras $\mathcal {W}_{n}$ and Over 𝖘𝖑n+1(ℂ)$\mathfrak {sl}_{n+1}(\mathbb {C})$

In this paper, by using the “twisting technique” we obtain a class of new modules A _b over the Witt algebras \(\mathcal {W}_{n}\) from modules A over the Weyl algebras \(\mathcal {K}_{n}\) (of Laurent polynomials) for any \(b\in \mathbb {C}\). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for A _b to be irreducible, and determine necessary and sufficient conditions for two such irreducible \(\mathcal {W}_{n}\)-modules to be isomorphic. Since \(\mathfrak {sl}_{n+1}(\mathbb {C})\) is a subalgebra of \(\mathcal {W}_{n}\), all the above irreducible \(\mathcal {W}_{n}\)-modules A _b can be considered as \(\mathfrak {sl}_{n+1}(\mathbb {C})\)-modules. For a class of such \(\mathfrak {sl}_{n+1}(\mathbb {C})\)-modules, denoted by Ω_1?a (λ ₁, λ ₂, ? ,λ _n ) where \(a\in \mathbb {C}, \lambda _{1},\lambda _{2},\cdots ,\lambda _{n} \in \mathbb {C}^{*}\), we determine necessary and sufficient conditions for these \(\mathfrak {sl}_{n+1}(\mathbb {C})\)-modules to be irreducible. If the \(\mathfrak {sl}_{n+1}(\mathbb {C})\)-module Ω_1?a (λ ₁, λ ₂,? ,λ _n ) is reducible, we prove that it has a unique nontrivial submodule W _1?a (λ ₁, λ ₂,...λ _n ) and the quotient module is the finite dimensional \(\mathfrak {sl}_{n+1}(\mathbb {C})\)-module with highest weight mΛ _n for some non-negative integer \(m\in \mathbb {Z}_{+}\). We also determine necessary and sufficient conditions for two \(\mathfrak {sl}_{n+1}(\mathbb {C})\)-modules of the form Ω_1?a (λ ₁, λ ₂,? ,λ _n ) or of the form W _1?a (λ ₁, λ ₂,...λ _n ) to be isomorphic.     

Two-dimensional Meixner Random Vectors of Class ${mathcal{M}}_{L}$

The paper is divided into two parts. In the first part we lay down the foundation for defining the joint annihilation–preservation–creation decomposition of a finite family of not necessarily commutative random variables, and show that this decomposition is essentially unique. In the second part we show that any two, not necessarily commutative, random variables X and Y for which the vector space spanned by the identity and their annihilation, preservation, and creation operators equipped with the bracket given by the commutator forms a Lie algebra are equivalent up to an invertible linear transformation to two independent Meixner random variables with mixed preservation operators. In particular, if X and Y commute, then they are equivalent up to an invertible linear transformation to two independent classic Meixner random variables. To show this we start with a small technical condition called “non-degeneracy”.
