On Generalized Numerical Ranges of Operators on an Indefinite Inner Product Space

In this article, numerical ranges associated with operators on an indefinite inner product space are investigated. Boundary generating curves, corners, shapes and computer generations of these sets are studied. In particular, the Murnaghan-Kippenhahn theorem for the classical numerical range is generalized.     

CHARACTERIZATIONS OF JORDAN (?)-SKEW MULTIPLICATIVE MAPS ON OPERATOR ALGEBRAS OF INDEFINITE INNER PRODUCT SPACES

Let H and K be indefinite inner product spaces. This paper shows that a bijective map φ:B(H)→B(K) satisfies φ(AB B A) =φ(A)φ(5) φ(B) φ(A) for every pair A,B ∈B(H) if and only if either φ(A) = cU AU for all A or φ(A) = cUA U for all A; φsatisfies φ(AB A) = φ(A)φ(B) φ(A) for every pair A,B ∈B(H) if and only if either φ(A) = UAV for all A or φ(A) = UA V for all A, where A denotes the indefinite conjugate of A, U and V are bounded invertible linear or conjugate linear operators with U U = c-1I and V V = cI for some nonzero real number c.

Inverse indefinite Sturm-Liouville problems with three spectra

We prove that the potential q(x) of an indefinite Sturm-Liouville problem on the closed interval [a,b] with the indefinite weight function w(x) can be determined uniquely by three spectra, which are generated by the indefinite problem defined on [a,b] and two right-definite problems defined on [a,0] and [0,b], where point 0 lies in (a,b) and is the turning point of the weight function w(x).     

Multiplicity result for a singular elliptic equation with indefinite nonlinearity

Via constraint minimization argument and delicate energy estimates, we show the existence of two positive solutions for a singular elliptic equation with indefinite nonlinearity.     

On the existence and shape of least energy solutions for some elliptic systems

We establish an existence result for strongly indefinite semilinear elliptic systems with Neumann boundary condition, and we study the limiting behavior of the positive solutions of the singularly perturbed problem.     

Hidden convexity in some nonconvex quadratically constrained quadratic programming

We consider the problem of minimizing an indefinite quadratic objective function subject to twosided indefinite quadratic constraints. Under a suitable simultaneous diagonalization assumption (which trivially holds for trust region type problems), we prove that the original problem is equivalent to a convex minimization problem with simple linear constraints. We then consider a special problem of minimizing a concave quadratic function subject to finitely many convex quadratic constraints, which is also shown to be equivalent to a minimax convex problem. In both cases we derive the explicit nonlinear transformations which allow for recovering the optimal solution of the nonconvex problems via their equivalent convex counterparts. Special cases and applications are also discussed. We outline interior-point polynomial-time algorithms for the solution of the equivalent convex programs.

Minimizing an indefinite quadratic function subject to a single indefinite quadratic constraint

In this paper, we consider the problem of minimizing an indefinite quadratic function subject to a single indefinite quadratic constraint. A key difficulty with this problem is its nonconvexity. Using Lagrange duality, we show that under a mild assumption, this problem can be solved by solving a linearly constrained convex univariate minimization problem. Finally, the superior efficiency of the new approach compared to the known semidefinite relaxation and a known approach from the literature is demonstrated by solving several randomly generated test problems.     

A preliminary genetic decomposition for conceptual understanding of the indefinite integral

This paper reports on the use of APOS theory to investigate conceptual understanding of the indefinite integral amongst undergraduate students at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. We present a Preliminary Genetic Decomposition (PGD) for the indefinite integral, which predicts the mental constructions and mechanisms that may facilitate conceptual understanding. In this pilot study, the analysis of students’ written responses to the research instrument suggested that more than half of the participants lacked the prerequisite knowledge of the concepts of function, derivative of functions and the chain rule. The findings confirmed that students experience greater difficulty dealing with transcendental functions than with algebraic functions. The analysis indicated that the cognitive mechanism of reversal, to recognise the inverse nature of differentiation and integration, was inconsistent or absent in many students. Interview data from a subset of participants was employed for triangulation with the document analysis. The empirical data suggested refinement of the PGD and modification of the research instrument, and further fine-grained interviews with study participants to investigate their conceptual understanding more deeply, and for the purposes of data triangulation.     

Compact indefinite almost Kähler Einstein manifolds

Numerically stable methods for quadratic programming

Numerically stable algorithms for quadratic programming are discussed. A new algorithm is described for indefinite quadratic programming which utilizes methods for updating positivedefinite factorizations only. Consequently all the updating procedures required are common to algorithms for linearly-constrained optimization. The new algorithm can be used for the positive-definite case without loss of efficiency.
