Algorithm for solving a new class of general mixed variational inequalities in Banach spaces

In this paper, a new concept of η-proximal mapping for a proper subdifferentiable functional (which may not be convex) on a Banach space is introduced. An existence and Lipschitz continuity of the η-proximal mapping are proved. By using properties of the η-proximal mapping, a new class of general mixed variational inequalities is introduced and studied in Banach spaces. An existence theorem of solutions is established and a new iterative algorithm for solving the general mixed variational inequality is suggested. A convergence criteria of the iterative sequence generated by the new algorithm is also given.     

Existence of periodic solutions for a fourth-order -Laplacian equation with a deviating argument

In this paper, we study the existence of periodic solutions for a fourth-order p-Laplacian differential equation with a deviating argument as follows:

[φ_p(u^″(t))]^″+f(u^″(t))+g(u(t−τ(t)))=e(t).

Under various assumptions, the existence of periodic solutions of the problem is obtained by applying Mawhin’s continuation theorem.     

A new exclusion test for finding the global minimum

Exclusion algorithms have been used recently to find all solutions of a system of nonlinear equations or to find the global minimum of a function over a compact domain. These algorithms are based on a minimization condition that can be applied to each cell in the domain. In this paper, we consider Lipschitz functions of order α and give a new minimization condition for the exclusion algorithm. Furthermore, convergence and complexity results are presented for such algorithm.     

Stability analysis of the zero solution for two class evolution equations

By constructing some suitable Lyapunov-type functionals and applying the theory of the definite-quadratic form, we obtain the stability of the zero solution of two classes of evolution equations with delays, including reaction–diffusion equations and damped wave equations. Our criteria depend on the derivatives of delays. Consequently, when the delays are constants, these criteria are independent of the magnitudes of the delays, so the delays are harmless for the stability of the zero solution.     

The p-step iterative algorithm for a system of generalized mixed quasi-variational inclusions with -accretive operators in q-uniformly smooth banach spaces

In this paper, we introduce and study a new system of generalized mixed quasi-variational inclusions with (A,η)-accretive operators in q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. By using the resolvent operator technique associated with (A,η)-accretive operators, we construct a new p-step iterative algorithm for solving this system of generalized mixed quasi-variational inclusions in real q-uniformly smooth Banach spaces. We also prove the existence of solutions for the generalized mixed quasi-variational inclusions and the convergence of iterative sequences generated by algorithm. Our results improve and generalize many known corresponding results.     

A completeness result for the simply typed -calculus

In this paper, we define a realizability semantics for the simply typed λμ-calculus. We show that, if a term is typable, then it inhabits the interpretation of its type. This result serves to give characterizations of the computational behavior of some closed typed terms. We also prove a completeness result of our realizability semantics using a particular term model.     

Labeling the -path with a condition at distance two

For integer r≥2, the infinite r-path P_∞(r) is the graph on vertices …v₋₃,v₋₂,v₋₁,v₀,v₁,v₂,v₃… such that v_s is adjacent to v_t if and only if |s−t|≤r−1. The r-path on n vertices is the subgraph of P_∞(r) induced by vertices v₀,v₁,v₂,…,v_n−1. For non-negative reals x₁ and x₂, a λ_x1,x2-labeling of a simple graph G is an assignment of non-negative reals to the vertices of G such that adjacent vertices receive reals that differ by at least x₁, vertices at distance two receive reals that differ by at least x₂, and the absolute difference between the largest and smallest assigned reals is minimized. With λ_x1,x2(G) denoting that minimum difference, we derive λ_x1,x2(P_n(r)) for r≥3, 1≤n≤∞, and . For , we obtain upper bounds on λ_x1,x2(P_∞(r)) and use them to give λ_x1,x2(P_∞(r)) for r≥5 and . We also determine λ_x1,x2(P_∞(3)) and λ_x1,x2(P_∞(4)) for all .

Asymptotic constancy for a differential equation with multiple state-dependent delays

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a differential equation with multiple state-dependent delays. It is shown that every bounded solution of such an equation tends to a constant as t→∞. Our results improve and extend some corresponding ones already known.     

Accelerating gradient projection methods for -constrained signal recovery by steplength selection rules

We propose a new gradient projection algorithm that compares favorably with the fastest algorithms available to date for ℓ₁-constrained sparse recovery from noisy data, both in the compressed sensing and inverse problem frameworks. The method exploits a line-search along the feasible direction and an adaptive steplength selection based on recent strategies for the alternation of the well-known Barzilai–Borwein rules. The convergence of the proposed approach is discussed and a computational study on both well conditioned and ill-conditioned problems is carried out for performance evaluations in comparison with five other algorithms proposed in the literature.     

Application of continuous-time programming problems to a class of variational-type inequalities

In this paper, we establish sufficiency criteria under generalized ρ−(η,θ)-invexity conditions for general continuous-time programming problems with nonlinear equality/inequality constraints. Using this we establish some existence criteria for solutions of a class of variational-type inequalities.     

The behavior of best -approximations as . A counterexample of convergence

In the space of summable sequences we give an example of a one-dimensional affine subspace C such that the best L_p-approximations of 0 from C fail to converge as p↓1. We thus give an answer to this problem of convergence in infinite measure spaces.

This study concerns the existence of positive solutions to the boundary value problemwhere ξ_i(0,1) with 0<ξ₁<ξ₂<<ξ_n-2<1, a_i, b_i[0,∞) with and . By applying the Krasnoselskii's fixed-point theorem in Banach spaces, some sufficient conditions guaranteeing the existence of at least one positive solution or at least two positive solutions are established for the above general n-point boundary value problem.

Construction of nonseparable dual -wavelet frames in

Suppose and are two pairs of dual M-wavelet frames and N-wavelet frames in and , respectively, where M and N are s₁×s₁ and s₂×s₂ dilation matrices with a₁(|det(M)|-1) and (2a₂+1)(|det(N)|-1). Moreover, their mask symbols both satisfy mixed extension principle (MEP). Based on the mask symbols, a family of nonseparable dual Ω-wavelet frames in are constructed, where s=s₁+s₂, and with Θ and M^-1Θ both being integer matrices. Then a convolution scheme for improving regularity of wavelet frames is given. From the nonseparable dual Ω-wavelet frames, nonseparable Ω-wavelet frames with high regularity can be constructed easily. We give an algorithm for constructing nonseparable dual symmetric or antisymmetric wavelet frames in . From the dual Ω-wavelet frames, nonseparable dual Ω-wavelet frames with symmetry can be obtained easily. In the end, two examples are given.     

Delay-dependent robust control for uncertain discrete-time singular systems with time-delays

The robust memoryless state feedback H_∞ control problem for uncertain time-delay discrete-time singular systems is discussed. Under a series of equivalent transformation, the equivalence of this problem and the robust state feedback H_∞ control problem for standard state-space uncertain time-delay discrete-time systems is presented. In terms of matrix inequality, the delay-dependent sufficient condition for the solution of this problem is given, the design method of the memoryless state feedback controller and the controller are also given.     

The Koszul dual of a weakly Koszul module

We study the so-called weakly Koszul modules and characterise their Koszul duals. We show that the (adjusted) associated graded module of a weakly Koszul module exactly determines the homology modules of the Koszul dual. We give an example of a quasi-Koszul module which is not weakly Koszul.

Let be a nontrivial involution, i.e., R=R⁻¹≠±I_n. We say that is R-symmetric if RGR=G. The set of all -symmetric matrices is denoted by . In this paper, we first give the solvability condition for the following inverse eigenproblem (IEP): given a set of vectors in and a set of complex numbers , find a matrix such that and are, respectively, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of A. We then consider the following approximation problem: Given an n×n matrix , find such that , where is the solution set of IEP and is the Frobenius norm. We provide an explicit formula for the best approximation solution by means of the canonical correlation decomposition.

In this work, we establish new coincidence and common fixed point theorems for hybrid strict contraction maps by dropping the assumption “f is T-weakly commuting” for a hybrid pair (f,T) of multivalued maps in Theorem 3.10 of T. Kamran (2004) [8]. As an application, an invariant approximation result is derived.
