On quasimonotone increasing homeomorphisms

Let f ? C(\Bbb Rⁿ,\Bbb Rⁿ) f\in C(\Bbb R^n,\Bbb R^n) be quasimonotone increasing such that Y(f(y)-f(x)) ￡ -c Y(y-x) (x << y) \Psi (f(y)-f(x)) \!\le -c \Psi (y-x) (x\ll y) for a linear and strictly positive functional Y \Psi and c > 0. We prove that f is a homeomorphism with decreasing and Lipschitz continuous inverse and we prove the global asymptotic stability of the equilibrium solution of x￠=f(x) x'=f(x) .

Polar factorization of maps on Riemannian manifolds      R.J. McCann 《Geometric And Functional Analysis》2001,11(3):589-608 Let (M,g) be a connected compact manifold, C3 smooth and without boundary, equipped with a Riemannian distance d(x,y). If s : M ? M s : M \to M is merely Borel and never maps positive volume into zero volume, we show s = t °u s = t \circ u factors uniquely a.e. into the composition of a map t(x) = expx[-?y(x)] t(x) = {\rm exp}_x[-\nabla\psi(x)] and a volume-preserving map u : M ? M u : M \to M , where y: M ? \bold R \psi : M \to {\bold R} satisfies the additional property that (yc)c = y (\psi^c)^c = \psi with yc(y) :=inf{c(x,y) - y(x) | x ? M} \psi^c(y) :={\rm inf}\{c(x,y) - \psi(x)\,\vert\,x \in M\} and c(x,y) = d2(x,y)/2. Like the factorization it generalizes from Euclidean space, this non-linear decomposition can be linearized around the identity to yield the Hodge decomposition of vector fields.¶The results are obtained by solving a Riemannian version of the Monge--Kantorovich problem, which means minimizing the expected value of the cost c(x,y) for transporting one distribution f 3 0 f \ge 0 of mass in L1(M) onto another. Parallel results for other strictly convex cost functions c(x,y) 3 0 c(x,y) \ge 0 of the Riemannian distance on non-compact manifolds are briefly discussed.      5. Points of joint continuity and large oscillations      V. K. Maslyuchenko  V. V. Nesterenko 《Ukrainian Mathematical Journal》2010,62(6):916-927 For topological spaces X and Y and a metric space Z, we introduce a new class N( X ×Y, Z ) \mathcal{N}\left( {X \times Y,\,Z} \right) of mappings f: X × Y → Z containing all horizontally quasicontinuous mappings continuous with respect to the second variable. It is shown that, for each mapping f from this class and any countable-type set B in Y, the set C B (f) of all points x from X such that f is jointly continuous at any point of the set {x} × B is residual in X: We also prove that if X is a Baire space, Y is a metrizable compact set, Z is a metric space, and f ? N( X ×Y, Z ) f \in \mathcal{N}\left( {X \times Y,\,Z} \right) , then, for any ε > 0, the projection of the set D ε (f) of all points p ∈ X × Y at which the oscillation ω f (p) ≥ ε onto X is a closed set nowhere dense in X.      6.

All 4-Edge-Connected HHD-Free Graphs are {\mathbb{Z}_3}-Connected      Takuro Fukunaga 《Graphs and Combinatorics》2011,27(5):647-659 An undirected graph G = (V, E) is called \mathbbZ3{\mathbb{Z}_3}-connected if for all b: V ? \mathbbZ3{b: V \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_3} with ?v ? Vb(v)=0{\sum_{v \in V}b(v)=0}, an orientation D = (V, A) of G has a \mathbbZ3{\mathbb{Z}_3}-valued nowhere-zero flow f: A? \mathbbZ3-{0}{f: A\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_3-\{0\}} such that ?e ? d+(v)f(e)-?e ? d-(v)f(e)=b(v){\sum_{e \in \delta^+(v)}f(e)-\sum_{e \in \delta^-(v)}f(e)=b(v)} for all v ? V{v \in V}. We show that all 4-edge-connected HHD-free graphs are \mathbbZ3{\mathbb{Z}_3}-connected. This extends the result due to Lai (Graphs Comb 16:165–176, 2000), which proves the \mathbbZ3{\mathbb{Z}_3}-connectivity for 4-edge-connected chordal graphs.      9.

For any code C over Q of length n and for any two codewords a = (a 1, . . . , a n ) and b = (b 1, . . . , b n ) in C, let ${D({\bf a, b}) = \{(x_1, . . . , x_n) \in {Q^n} : {x_i} \in \{a_i, b_i\}\,{\rm for}\,1 \leq i \leq n\}}Let Q be an alphabet with q elements. For any code C over Q of length n and for any two codewords a = (a 1, . . . , a n ) and b = (b 1, . . . , b n ) in C, let D(a, b) = {(x1, . . . , xn) ?

D(a, b){a, b} 1 ?{{\bigcap}_{{\rm x}{\in}D({\rm a,\,b})}\{{\bf a, b}\}\neq \emptyset} . Codes with the IPP were introduced by Hollmann et al [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A 82 (1998) 21–133]. Let F(n, q) = max{|C|: C is a q-ary code of length n with the IPP}.T? and Safavi-Naini [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 17 (2004) 548–570] showed that 3q + 6 - 6 é?{q+1}ù ￡ F(3, q) ￡ 3q + 6 - é6 ?{q+1}ù{3q + 6 - 6 \lceil\sqrt{q+1}\rceil \leq F(3, q) \leq 3q + 6 - \lceil 6 \sqrt{q+1}\rceil}, and determined F (3, q) precisely when q ≤ 48 or when q can be expressed as r 2 + 2r or r 2 + 3r +2 for r ≥ 2. In this paper, we establish a precise formula of F(3, q) for q ≥ 24. Moreover, we construct IPP codes of size F(3, q) for q ≥ 24 and show that, for any such code C and any x ? C*{{\rm {\bf x}} \in C^*}, one can find, in constant time, a ? C{{\rm {\bf a}} \in C} such that if x ? D (c, d){{\rm {\bf x}} \in D ({\bf c, d})} then a ? {c, d}{{\rm {\bf a}} \in \{{\rm {\bf c, d}}\}}.      10.

Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on crepant resolutions of Kähler cones      Craig van Coevering 《Mathematische Annalen》2010,347(3):581-611 We prove that a crepant resolution π : Y → X of a Ricci-flat Kähler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every Kähler class in ${H^2_c(Y,\mathbb{R})}We prove that a crepant resolution π : Y → X of a Ricci-flat K?hler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat K?hler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every K?hler class in H2c(Y,\mathbbR){H^2_c(Y,\mathbb{R})}. A K?hler cone (X,[`(g)]){(X,\bar{g})} is a metric cone over a Sasaki manifold (S, g), i.e. ${X=C(S):=S\times\mathbb{R}_{ >0 }}${X=C(S):=S\times\mathbb{R}_{ >0 }} with [`(g)]=dr2 +r2 g{\bar{g}=dr^2 +r^2 g}, and (X,[`(g)]){(X,\bar{g})} is Ricci-flat precisely when (S, g) Einstein of positive scalar curvature. This result contains as a subset the existence of ALE Ricci-flat K?hler metrics on crepant resolutions p:Y? X=\mathbbCn /G{\pi:Y\rightarrow X=\mathbb{C}^n /\Gamma}, with G ì SL(n,\mathbbC){\Gamma\subset SL(n,\mathbb{C})}, due to P. Kronheimer (n = 2) and D. Joyce (n > 2). We then consider the case when X = C(S) is toric. It is a result of A. Futaki, H. Ono, and G. Wang that any Gorenstein toric K?hler cone admits a Ricci-flat K?hler cone metric. It follows that if a toric K?hler cone X = C(S) admits a crepant resolution π : Y → X, then Y admits a T n -invariant Ricci-flat K?hler metric asymptotic to the cone metric (X,[`(g)]){(X,\bar{g})} in every K?hler class in H2c(Y,\mathbbR){H^2_c(Y,\mathbb{R})}. A crepant resolution, in this context, is a simplicial fan refining the convex polyhedral cone defining X. We then list some examples which are easy to construct using toric geometry.      12. On certain functional equations related to Jordan triple (q, f){(\theta, \phi)}-derivations on semiprime rings      Ajda Fo?ner  Joso Vukman 《Monatshefte für Mathematik》2011,75(3):157-165 The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following result. Let R be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring with symmetric Martindale ring of quotients Q s and let q{\theta} and f{\phi} be automorphisms of R. Suppose T:R? R{T:R\rightarrow R} is an additive mapping satisfying the relation T(xyx)=T(x)q(y)q(x)-f(x)T(y)q(x)+f(x)f(y)T(x){T(xyx)=T(x)\theta (y)\theta (x)-\phi (x)T(y)\theta (x)+\phi (x)\phi (y)T(x)}, for all pairs x,y ? R{x,y\in R}. In this case T is of the form 2T(x)=qq(x)+f(x)q{2T(x)=q\theta (x)+\phi (x)q}, for all x ? R{x\in R} and some fixed element q ? Qs{q\in Q_{s}}.      13. On convex optimization without convex representation      Jean B. Lasserre 《Optimization Letters》2011,5(4):549-556 We consider the convex optimization problem P:minx {f(x) : x ? K}{{\rm {\bf P}}:{\rm min}_{\rm {\bf x}} \{f({\rm {\bf x}})\,:\,{\rm {\bf x}}\in{\rm {\bf K}}\}} where f is convex continuously differentiable, and K ì \mathbb Rn{{\rm {\bf K}}\subset{\mathbb R}^n} is a compact convex set with representation {x ? \mathbb Rn : gj(x) 3 0, j = 1,?,m}{\{{\rm {\bf x}}\in{\mathbb R}^n\,:\,g_j({\rm {\bf x}})\geq0, j = 1,\ldots,m\}} for some continuously differentiable functions (g j ). We discuss the case where the g j ’s are not all concave (in contrast with convex programming where they all are). In particular, even if the g j are not concave, we consider the log-barrier function fm{\phi_\mu} with parameter μ, associated with P, usually defined for concave functions (g j ). We then show that any limit point of any sequence (xm) ì K{({\rm {\bf x}}_\mu)\subset{\rm {\bf K}}} of stationary points of fm, m? 0{\phi_\mu, \mu \to 0} , is a Karush–Kuhn–Tucker point of problem P and a global minimizer of f on K.      14.

Color Chain of a Graph      R. Balakrishnan  T. Kavaskar 《Graphs and Combinatorics》2011,27(4):487-493 For a simple connected undirected graph G, c(G), cf(G), Yf(G), f(G), ?G(G){\chi(G), \chi_f(G), \Psi_f(G), \phi(G), \partial \Gamma (G)} and Ψ(G) denote respectively the chromatic number, fall chromatic number (assuming that it exists for G), fall achromatic number, b-chromatic number, partial Grundy number and achromatic number of G. It is shown in Dunbar et al. (J Combin Math & Combin Comput 33:257–273, 2000) that for any graph G for which fall coloring exists, c(G) ￡ cf(G) ￡ Yf (G) ￡ f(G) ￡ ?G(G) ￡ Y(G){\chi (G)\leq \chi_f(G) \leq \Psi_f (G) \leq \phi(G) \leq \partial \Gamma (G)\leq \Psi (G)} . In this paper, we exhibit an infinite family of graphs G with a strictly increasing color chain: c(G) < cf(G) < Yf (G) < f(G) < ?G(G) < Y(G){\chi (G) < \chi_f(G) < \Psi_f (G) < \phi(G) < \partial \Gamma (G) < \Psi (G)} . The existence of such a chain was raised by Dunbar et al.      16. An Exceptional Set in the Ergodic Theory of Expanding Maps on Manifolds      A. G. Abercrombie  R. Nair 《Monatshefte für Mathematik》2006,173(2):1-17 Under a general hypothesis an expanding map T of a Riemannian manifold M is known to preserve a measure equivalent to the Liouville measure on that manifold. As a consequence of this and Birkhoff’s pointwise ergodic theorem, the orbits of almost all points on the manifold are asymptotically distributed with regard to this Liouville measure. Let T be Lipschitz of class τ for some τ in (0,1], let Ω(x) denote the forward orbit closure of x and for a positive real number δ and let E(x0, δ) denote the set of points x in M such that the distance from x0 to Ω is at least δ. Let dim A denote the Hausdorff dimension of the set A. In this paper we prove a result which implies that there is a constant C(T) > 0 such that dimE(x0,d) 3 dimM - \fracC(T)|logd| \dim E(x_0,\delta) \ge \dim M - \frac{C(T)}{\vert\!\log \delta \vert} if τ = 1 and dimE(x0,d) 3 dimM - \fracC(T)log|logd|\dim E(x_0,\delta) \ge \dim M - \frac{C(T)}{\log \vert \log \delta \vert} if τ < 1. This gives a quantitative converse to the above asymptotic distribution phenomenon. The result we prove is of sufficient generality that a similar result for expanding hyperbolic rational maps of degree not less than two follows as a special case.      17. Quermassintegrals of a random polytope in a convex body      M. Hartzoulaki  G. Paouris 《Archiv der Mathematik》2003,80(4):430-438 Let K be a convex body in \mathbbRn \mathbb{R}^n with volume |K| = 1 |K| = 1 . We choose N 3 n+1 N \geq n+1 points x1,?, xN x_1,\ldots, x_N independently and uniformly from K, and write C(x1,?, xN) C(x_1,\ldots, x_N) for their convex hull. Let f : \mathbbR+ ? \mathbbR+ f : \mathbb{R^+} \rightarrow \mathbb{R^+} be a continuous strictly increasing function and 0 ￡ i ￡ n-1 0 \leq i \leq n-1 . Then, the quantity¶¶E (K, N, f °Wi) = òK ?òK f[Wi(C(x1, ?, xN))]dxN ?dx1 E (K, N, f \circ W_{i}) = \int\limits_{K} \ldots \int\limits_{K} f[W_{i}(C(x_1, \ldots, x_N))]dx_{N} \ldots dx_1 ¶¶is minimal if K is a ball (Wi is the i-th quermassintegral of a compact convex set). If f is convex and strictly increasing and 1 ￡ i ￡ n-1 1 \leq i \leq n-1 , then the ball is the only extremal body. These two facts generalize a result of H. Groemer on moments of the volume of C(x1,?, xN) C(x_1,\ldots, x_N) .      18.

Polar factorization of maps on Riemannian manifolds

Let (M,g) be a connected compact manifold, C³ smooth and without boundary, equipped with a Riemannian distance d(x,y). If s : M ? M s : M \to M is merely Borel and never maps positive volume into zero volume, we show s = t °u s = t \circ u factors uniquely a.e. into the composition of a map t(x) = exp_x[-?y(x)] t(x) = {\rm exp}_x[-\nabla\psi(x)] and a volume-preserving map u : M ? M u : M \to M , where y: M ? \bold R \psi : M \to {\bold R} satisfies the additional property that (y^c)^c = y (\psi^c)^c = \psi with y^c(y) :=inf{c(x,y) - y(x) | x ? M} \psi^c(y) :={\rm inf}\{c(x,y) - \psi(x)\,\vert\,x \in M\} and c(x,y) = d²(x,y)/2. Like the factorization it generalizes from Euclidean space, this non-linear decomposition can be linearized around the identity to yield the Hodge decomposition of vector fields.¶The results are obtained by solving a Riemannian version of the Monge--Kantorovich problem, which means minimizing the expected value of the cost c(x,y) for transporting one distribution f 3 0 f \ge 0 of mass in L¹(M) onto another. Parallel results for other strictly convex cost functions c(x,y) 3 0 c(x,y) \ge 0 of the Riemannian distance on non-compact manifolds are briefly discussed.     

Points of joint continuity and large oscillations

For topological spaces X and Y and a metric space Z, we introduce a new class N( X ×Y, Z ) \mathcal{N}\left( {X \times Y,\,Z} \right) of mappings f: X × Y → Z containing all horizontally quasicontinuous mappings continuous with respect to the second variable. It is shown that, for each mapping f from this class and any countable-type set B in Y, the set C _B (f) of all points x from X such that f is jointly continuous at any point of the set {x} × B is residual in X: We also prove that if X is a Baire space, Y is a metrizable compact set, Z is a metric space, and f ? N( X ×Y, Z ) f \in \mathcal{N}\left( {X \times Y,\,Z} \right) , then, for any ε > 0, the projection of the set D ^ε (f) of all points p ∈ X × Y at which the oscillation ω _f (p) ≥ ε onto X is a closed set nowhere dense in X.     

Linear Maps Preserving Operators of Local Spectral Radius Zero

B(X){T \in \mathcal{B}(X)}, let r_T(x) = limsup_{n ? ￥} || Tⁿx|| ^1/n{r_{T}(x) =\limsup_{n \rightarrow \infty} \| T^{n}x\| ^{1/n}} denote the local spectral radius of T at x. We prove that if j: B(X) ? B(X){\varphi : \mathcal{B}(X) \rightarrow \mathcal{B}(X)} is linear and surjective such that for every x ? X{x \in X} we have r _T (x) = 0 if and only if r_j(T)(x) = 0{r_{\varphi(T)}(x) = 0}, there exists then a nonzero complex number c such that j(T) = cT{\varphi(T) = cT} for all T ? B(X){T \in \mathcal{B}(X) }. We also prove that if Y is a complex Banach space and j:B(X) ? B(Y){\varphi :\mathcal{B}(X) \rightarrow \mathcal{B}(Y)} is linear and invertible for which there exists B ? B(Y, X){B \in \mathcal{B}(Y, X)} such that for y ? Y{y \in Y} we have r _T (By) = 0 if and only if r_{j( T)} (y)=0{ r_{\varphi ( T) }(y)=0}, then B is invertible and there exists a nonzero complex number c such that j(T) = cB^-1TB{\varphi(T) =cB^{-1}TB} for all T ? B(X){T \in \mathcal{B}(X)}.

All 4-Edge-Connected HHD-Free Graphs are {\mathbb{Z}_3}-Connected

An undirected graph G = (V, E) is called \mathbbZ₃{\mathbb{Z}_3}-connected if for all b: V ? \mathbbZ₃{b: V \rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_3} with ?_{v ? V}b(v)=0{\sum_{v \in V}b(v)=0}, an orientation D = (V, A) of G has a \mathbbZ₃{\mathbb{Z}_3}-valued nowhere-zero flow f: A? \mathbbZ₃-{0}{f: A\rightarrow \mathbb{Z}_3-\{0\}} such that ?_{e ? d⁺(v)}f(e)-?_{e ? d^-(v)}f(e)=b(v){\sum_{e \in \delta^+(v)}f(e)-\sum_{e \in \delta^-(v)}f(e)=b(v)} for all v ? V{v \in V}. We show that all 4-edge-connected HHD-free graphs are \mathbbZ₃{\mathbb{Z}_3}-connected. This extends the result due to Lai (Graphs Comb 16:165–176, 2000), which proves the \mathbbZ₃{\mathbb{Z}_3}-connectivity for 4-edge-connected chordal graphs.     

Maximum IPP Codes of Length 3

For any code C over Q of length n and for any two codewords a = (a ₁, . . . , a _n ) and b = (b ₁, . . . , b _n ) in C, let ${D({\bf a, b}) = \{(x_1, . . . , x_n) \in {Q^n} : {x_i} \in \{a_i, b_i\}\,{\rm for}\,1 \leq i \leq n\}}Let Q be an alphabet with q elements. For any code C over Q of length n and for any two codewords a = (a ₁, . . . , a _n ) and b = (b ₁, . . . , b _n ) in C, let D(a, b) = {(x₁, . . . , x_n) ?

C}D(a, b){C^* = {{\bigcup}_{\rm {a,\,b}\in{C}}}D({\bf a, b})}. The code C is said to have the identifiable parent property (IPP) if, for any x ? C^*{{\rm {\bf x}} \in C^*}, ?_{x ?

Let F(n, q) = max{|C|: C is a q-ary code of length n with the IPP}.T? and Safavi-Naini [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 17 (2004) 548–570] showed that 3q + 6 - 6 é?{q+1}ù ￡ F(3, q) ￡ 3q + 6 - é6 ?{q+1}ù{3q + 6 - 6 \lceil\sqrt{q+1}\rceil \leq F(3, q) \leq 3q + 6 - \lceil 6 \sqrt{q+1}\rceil}, and determined F (3, q) precisely when q ≤ 48 or when q can be expressed as r ² + 2r or r ² + 3r +2 for r ≥ 2. In this paper, we establish a precise formula of F(3, q) for q ≥ 24. Moreover, we construct IPP codes of size F(3, q) for q ≥ 24 and show that, for any such code C and any x ? C^*{{\rm {\bf x}} \in C^*}, one can find, in constant time, a ? C{{\rm {\bf a}} \in C} such that if x ? D (c, d){{\rm {\bf x}} \in D ({\bf c, d})} then a ? {c, d}{{\rm {\bf a}} \in \{{\rm {\bf c, d}}\}}.

Ricci-flat Kähler metrics on crepant resolutions of Kähler cones

We prove that a crepant resolution π : Y → X of a Ricci-flat Kähler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat Kähler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every Kähler class in ${H^2_c(Y,\mathbb{R})}We prove that a crepant resolution π : Y → X of a Ricci-flat K?hler cone X admits a complete Ricci-flat K?hler metric asymptotic to the cone metric in every K?hler class in H²_c(Y,\mathbbR){H^2_c(Y,\mathbb{R})}. A K?hler cone (X,[`(g)]){(X,\bar{g})} is a metric cone over a Sasaki manifold (S, g), i.e. ${X=C(S):=S\times\mathbb{R}_{ >0 }}${X=C(S):=S\times\mathbb{R}_{ >0 }} with [`(g)]=dr² +r² g{\bar{g}=dr^2 +r^2 g}, and (X,[`(g)]){(X,\bar{g})} is Ricci-flat precisely when (S, g) Einstein of positive scalar curvature. This result contains as a subset the existence of ALE Ricci-flat K?hler metrics on crepant resolutions p:Y? X=\mathbbC<sup>n</sup> /G{\pi:Y\rightarrow X=\mathbb{C}^n /\Gamma}, with G ì SL(n,\mathbbC){\Gamma\subset SL(n,\mathbb{C})}, due to P. Kronheimer (n = 2) and D. Joyce (n > 2). We then consider the case when X = C(S) is toric. It is a result of A. Futaki, H. Ono, and G. Wang that any Gorenstein toric K?hler cone admits a Ricci-flat K?hler cone metric. It follows that if a toric K?hler cone X = C(S) admits a crepant resolution π : Y → X, then Y admits a T <sup>n</sup> -invariant Ricci-flat K?hler metric asymptotic to the cone metric (X,[`(g)]){(X,\bar{g})} in every K?hler class in H²_c(Y,\mathbbR){H^2_c(Y,\mathbb{R})}. A crepant resolution, in this context, is a simplicial fan refining the convex polyhedral cone defining X. We then list some examples which are easy to construct using toric geometry.     

On certain functional equations related to Jordan triple (q, f){(\theta, \phi)}-derivations on semiprime rings

The main purpose of this paper is to prove the following result. Let R be a 2-torsion free semiprime ring with symmetric Martindale ring of quotients Q _s and let q{\theta} and f{\phi} be automorphisms of R. Suppose T:R? R{T:R\rightarrow R} is an additive mapping satisfying the relation T(xyx)=T(x)q(y)q(x)-f(x)T(y)q(x)+f(x)f(y)T(x){T(xyx)=T(x)\theta (y)\theta (x)-\phi (x)T(y)\theta (x)+\phi (x)\phi (y)T(x)}, for all pairs x,y ? R{x,y\in R}. In this case T is of the form 2T(x)=qq(x)+f(x)q{2T(x)=q\theta (x)+\phi (x)q}, for all x ? R{x\in R} and some fixed element q ? Q_s{q\in Q_{s}}.     

On convex optimization without convex representation

We consider the convex optimization problem P:min_x {f(x) : x ? K}{{\rm {\bf P}}:{\rm min}_{\rm {\bf x}} \{f({\rm {\bf x}})\,:\,{\rm {\bf x}}\in{\rm {\bf K}}\}} where f is convex continuously differentiable, and K ì \mathbb Rⁿ{{\rm {\bf K}}\subset{\mathbb R}^n} is a compact convex set with representation {x ? \mathbb Rⁿ : g_j(x) 3 0, j = 1,?,m}{\{{\rm {\bf x}}\in{\mathbb R}^n\,:\,g_j({\rm {\bf x}})\geq0, j = 1,\ldots,m\}} for some continuously differentiable functions (g _j ). We discuss the case where the g _j ’s are not all concave (in contrast with convex programming where they all are). In particular, even if the g _j are not concave, we consider the log-barrier function f_m{\phi_\mu} with parameter μ, associated with P, usually defined for concave functions (g _j ). We then show that any limit point of any sequence (x_m) ì K{({\rm {\bf x}}_\mu)\subset{\rm {\bf K}}} of stationary points of f_m, m? 0{\phi_\mu, \mu \to 0} , is a Karush–Kuhn–Tucker point of problem P and a global minimizer of f on K.

As a consequence of this and Birkhoff’s pointwise ergodic theorem, the orbits of almost all points on the manifold are asymptotically distributed with regard to this Liouville measure. Let T be Lipschitz of class τ for some τ in (0,1], let Ω(x) denote the forward orbit closure of x and for a positive real number δ and let E(x0, δ) denote the set of points x in M such that the distance from x0 to Ω is at least δ. Let dim A denote the Hausdorff dimension of the set A. In this paper we prove a result which implies that there is a constant C(T) > 0 such that dimE(x0,d) 3 dimM - \fracC(T)|logd| \dim E(x_0,\delta) \ge \dim M - \frac{C(T)}{\vert\!\log \delta \vert} if τ = 1 and dimE(x0,d) 3 dimM - \fracC(T)log|logd|\dim E(x_0,\delta) \ge \dim M - \frac{C(T)}{\log \vert \log \delta \vert} if τ < 1. This gives a quantitative converse to the above asymptotic distribution phenomenon. The result we prove is of sufficient generality that a similar result for expanding hyperbolic rational maps of degree not less than two follows as a special case.      17.
