Geodesic $\gamma$-Pre-$E$-Convex Functions on Riemannian Manifolds

In this paper, we generalize geodesic $E$-convex function and define geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convex and geodesic $\gamma$-$E$-convex functions on Riemannian manifolds. The sufficient condition of equivalence class of geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convexity and geodesic $\gamma$-$E$-convexity for differentiable function on Riemannian manifolds is studied. We discuss the sufficient condition for $E$-epigraph to be geodesic $E$-convex set. At the end, we establish some optimality results with the aid of geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convex and geodesic $\gamma$-$E$-convex functions and discuss the mean value inequality for geodesic $\gamma$-pre-$E$-convex function.     

Local Convexity on Smooth Manifolds

Some properties of the spaces of paths are studied in order to define and characterize the local convexity of sets belonging to smooth manifolds and the local convexity of functions defined on local convex sets of smooth manifolds. This paper is dedicated to the memory of Guido Stampacchia. This research was supported in part by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund, Grants OTKA-T043276 and OTKA-T043241, and by CNR, Rome, Italy.     

Volume and Projective Equivalence Between Riemannian Manifolds

Let (M, g) and (M, ) be two Riemannian metrics which are pointwise projectively equivalent, i.e. they have the same geodesics as point sets. We prove that the pointwise projective equivalence is trivial, if (M, g) is a noncompact complete manifold which has at most quadratic volume growth and nonnegative total scalar curvature, and (M, ) has nonpositive Ricci curvature.

Convexity of the Solution Set of a Pseudoconvex Inequality in Riemannian Manifolds

Some equivalent conditions for convexity of the solution set of a pseudoconvex inequality are presented. These conditions turn out to be very useful in characterizing the solution sets of optimization problems of pseudoconvex functions defined on Riemannian manifold.     

The Riemannian Manifolds with Boundary and Large Symmetry

Seventy years ago, Myers and Steenrod showed that the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold without boundary has a structure of Lie group. In 2007, Bagaev and Zhukova proved the same result for a Riemannian orbifold. In this paper, the authors first show that the isometry group of a Riemannian manifold M with boundary has dimension at most 1/2 dim M（dim M - 1）. Then such Riemannian manifolds with boundary that their isometry groups attain the preceding maximal dimension are completely classified.

Heat Content Asymptotics for Riemannian Manifolds with Zaremba Boundary Conditions

The existence of a full asymptotic expansion for the heat content asymptotics of an operator of Laplace type with classical Zaremba boundary conditions on a smooth manifold is established. The first three coefficients in this asymptotic expansion are determined in terms of geometric invariants; partial information is obtained about the fourth coefficient.      

Inverse Problems for Differential Forms on Riemannian Manifolds with Boundary

Consider a real-analytic orientable connected complete Riemannian manifold M with boundary of dimension n ≥ 2 and let k be an integer 1 ≤ k ≤ n. In the case when M is compact of dimension n ≥ 3, we show that the manifold and the metric on it can be reconstructed, up to an isometry, from the set of the Cauchy data for harmonic k-forms, given on an open subset of the boundary. This extends a result of [14 Lassas , M. , Uhlmann , G. ( 2001 ). On determining a Riemannian manifold from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map . Ann. Sci. École Norm. 34 : 771 – 787 .[Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] when k = 0. In the two-dimensional case, the same conclusion is obtained when considering the set of the Cauchy data for harmonic 1-forms. Under additional assumptions on the curvature of the manifold, we carry out the same program when M is complete non-compact. In the case n ≥ 3, this generalizes the results of [13 Lassas , M. , Taylor , M. , Uhlmann , G. ( 2003 ). The Dirichlet-to-Neumann map for complete Riemannian manifolds with boundary . Comm. Anal. Geom. 11 : 207 – 221 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] when k = 0. In the two-dimensional case, we are able to reconstruct the manifold from the set of the Cauchy data for harmonic 1-forms.

Riemannian Geometry of Grassmann Manifolds with a View on Algorithmic Computation

We give simple formulas for the canonical metric, gradient, Lie derivative, Riemannian connection, parallel translation, geodesics and distance on the Grassmann manifold of p-planes in R ⁿ . In these formulas, p-planes are represented as the column space of n×p matrices. The Newton method on abstract Riemannian manifolds proposed by Smith is made explicit on the Grassmann manifold. Two applications – computing an invariant subspace of a matrix and the mean of subspaces – are worked out.

The Forcing Convexity Number of a Graph

For two vertices u and v of a connected graph G, the set I(u,v) consists of all those vertices lying on a u-v geodesic in G. For a set S of vertices of G, the union of all sets I(u,v) for u, v S is denoted by I(S). A set S is a convex set if I(S) = S. The convexity number con(G) of G is the maximum cardinality of a proper convex set of G. A convex set S in G with |S| = con(G) is called a maximum convex set. A subset T of a maximum convex set S of a connected graph G is called a forcing subset for S if S is the unique maximum convex set containing T. The forcing convexity number f(S, con) of S is the minimum cardinality among the forcing subsets for S, and the forcing convexity number f(G, con) of G is the minimum forcing convexity number among all maximum convex sets of G. The forcing convexity numbers of several classes of graphs are presented, including complete bipartite graphs, trees, and cycles. For every graph G, f(G, con) con(G). It is shown that every pair a, b of integers with 0 a b and b is realizable as the forcing convexity number and convexity number, respectively, of some connected graph. The forcing convexity number of the Cartesian product of H × K ₂ for a nontrivial connected graph H is studied.     

Boundary Value Problems for the Stationary Schrodinger Equation on Riemannian Manifolds

We suggest a new approach to the statement of boundary value problems for elliptic partial differential equations on arbitrary Riemannian manifolds which is based on the consideration of equivalence classes of functions on a manifold. Using this approach, we establish some interrelation between the solvability of boundary value problems and solvability of exterior boundary problems for the stationary Schrodinger equation. Also we prove the comparison and uniqueness theorems for solutions to boundary value problems in this statement and obtain sufficient conditions for solvability of boundary value problems when the coefficient in the Schrodinger equation is changed.     

Isoperimetric Conditions,Poisson Problems,and Diffusions in Riemannian Manifolds

Let (M,g) be a complete Riemannian manifold. We study exit time moments of natural diffusions from smoothly bounded domains in M with compact closure. Our results give relationships between bounds on the exit time moments and their corresponding averages (over the associated domain), and the global geometry of M. In particular, for averaged moments of Brownian motion, we prove an analog of the Faber–Krahn theorem.     

Depth-Optimized Convexity Cuts

This paper presents a general, self-contained treatment of convexity or intersection cuts. It describes two equivalent ways of generating a cut—via a convex set or a concave function—and a partial-order notion of cut strength. We then characterize the structure of the sets and functions that generate cuts that are strongest with respect to the partial order. Next, we specialize this analytical framework to the case of mixed-integer linear programming (MIP). For this case, we formulate two kinds of the deepest cut generation problem, via sets or via functions, and subsequently consider some special cases which are amenable to efficient computation. We conclude with computational tests of one of these procedures on a large set of MIPLIB problems.     

Riemannian Submersions and Riemannian Manifolds with Einstein--Weyl Structures

The main results of this paper are as follows. (a) Let : M N be a non-trivial Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers of dimension 1 over an Einstein manifold N. If M is compact and admits a standard Einstein--Weyl structure with constant Einstein--Weyl function, then N admits a Kähler structure andM a Sasakian structure. (b) Let be a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers and N an Einstein manifold of positive scalar curvature . If M admits a standard Sasakian structure, then M admits an Einstein--Weyl structure with constant Einstein--Weyl function.
