New Uniform Parametric Error Bounds

A uniform parametric error bound is a uniform error estimate for feasible solutions of a family of parametric mathematical programming problems. It has been proven useful in exact penalty formulation for bilevel programming problems. In this paper, we derive new sufficient conditions for the existence of uniform parametric error bounds.     

On Uniform Global Error Bounds for Convex Inequalities

This paper studies the existence of a uniform global error bound when a convex inequality g 0, where g is a closed proper convex function, is perturbed. The perturbation neighborhoods are defined by small arbitrary perturbations of the epigraph of its conjugate function. Under certain conditions, it is shown that for sufficiently small arbitrary perturbations the perturbed system is solvable and there exists a uniform global error bound if and only if g satisfies the Slater condition and the solution set is bounded or its recession function satisfies the Slater condition. The results are used to derive lower bounds on the distance to ill-posedness.     

Multivariate R-O Varying Measures Part I: Uniform Bounds

A finite Borel measure µ on R^d is called R-O varying withindex F if there exist a GL(R^d)-valued function f varying regularlywith index (–F), an increasing function k: (0, ) (0,) with k(t) and k(t + 1)/k(t) c 1 as t , and a -finitemeasure on R^d\0 such that R-O varying measures generalize regularly varying measures introducedby Meerschaert (see M. M. Meerschaert, ‘Regular variationin R^k’, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 102 (1988) 341–348)and have numerous applications in limit theorems for probabilitymeasures. For an R-O varying measure µ and – < let denote the tail- andtruncated moment functions of µ in the direction || =1. The purpose of this paper is to show that R-O variation ofa measure implies sharp bounds on the growth rate of the tail-and truncated moment functions depending on the real parts ofthe eigenvalues of the index F along a compact set of directions.Furthermore, bounds on the ratio of these functions for certainvalues of a and b are obtained. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification:60B10, 28C15.     

Lie Symmetries and Weak Transversality

We discuss the notion of weak transversality and clarify its role in the context of Lie group theory with several examples. In particular, we present some new results concerning models of fluid dynamics.     

论广义横截性

设M和N是C^r (r≥1) Banach流形, P\subset N 是N的子流形, f是从M 到N的C¹映射. 该文引进映射f在x₀∈f^-1(P)点 与P广义横截的概念,它是经典的横截概念的推广. 接着讨论了广义横截性和广义正则点的关系,证明:映射f在x₀点与P广义横截的充分必要条件为 x₀是与f相关的某个映射g 的广义正则点； 当子流形$P$退化成单点集时,若映射 f与P={p}广义横截, 作者证明p是f的广义正则值； 最后 证明了广义横截点的全体O={x∈ f^-1(P): f\pitchfork_G^x P} 是开集.     

映射的横截性定理

Hirsch conjectured: M、N、A are differential manifolds, g∈C^∞(A,N), then the set T = {f∈C^∞(M,N)|f∈g} is dense in C∞(M,N)and open if g is proper.In this paper, we prove the transversality theorem of map in the Jet bundle.Theorem 1 Let M, N. A be differential manifolds, g∈C^∞(A,J^τ(M、N)), then the set T{f∈C^∞(M,N)|f^τf∈g } is residual in C^∞(M,N) and open if g is proper.Theorem 1 contains Thom's transversal ity theorem as a special case. We can obtain Hirsch's conjecture by using theorem 1.     

Bounds for the Concentration of Asymptotically Normal Statistics

Let X₁,..., X _n be independent, not necessarily identically distributed random variables. An optimal bound is derived for the concentration function of an arbitrary real-valued statistic T = T (X ₁,...,X _n ) for which ET² < . Applications are given for Wilcoxon"s rank-sum statistic, U-statistics, Student"s statistic, the two-sample Student statistic and linear regression.     

Transversality on locally pseudocompact groups

Two non-discrete Hausdorff group topologies \tau and \delta on a group G are called transversal if the least upper bound \tau \vee \delta of \tau and \delta is the discrete topology. In this paper, we discuss the existence of transversal group topologies on locally pseudocompact, locally precompact, or locally compact groups. We prove that each locally pseudocompact, connected topological group satisfies central subgroup paradigm, which gives an affrmative answer to a problem posed by Dikranjan, Tkachenko, and Yaschenko [Topology Appl., 2006, 153:3338-3354]. For a compact normal subgroup K of a locally compact totally disconnected group G, if G admits a transversal group topology, then G/K admits a transversal group topology, which gives a partial answer again to a problem posed by Dikranjan, Tkachenko, and Yaschenko in 2006. Moreover, we characterize some classes of locally compact groups that admit transversal group topologies.     

Some New Transversality Properties

The theorems of Ceva and Menelaus are concerned with cyclic products of ratios of lengths of collinear segments of triangles or more general polygons. These segments have one endpoint at a vertex of the polygon and one at the intersection point of a side with a suitable line. To these classical results we have recently added a selftransversality theorem in which the suitable line is determined by two other vertices. Here we present additional transversality properties in which the suitable line is determined either by a vertex and the intersection point of two diagonals, or by the intersection points of two pairs of such diagonals. Unexpectedly it turns out that besides several infinite families of systematic cases there are also a few sporadic cases.

Transversality in Variational Analysis

We discuss various aspects of newly developed extension of the classical transversality theory to variational analysis and optimization theory. In particular, we give interpretations in transversality terms of some key results (relating to subdifferential calculus, necessary optimality conditions and linear convergence of alternating projections) and prove a set-valued version of the Thom transversality theorem for semi-algebraic objects.

Transversality condition for infinite-horizon problems

We present necessary conditions of optimality for an infinitehorizon optimal control problem. The transversality condition is derived with the help of stability theory and is formulated in terms of the Lyapunov exponents of solutions to the adjoint equation. A problem without an exponential factor in the integral functional is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality are proved for linear quadratic problems with conelike control constraints.

Transversality family of expanding rational semigroups

We study finitely generated expanding semigroups of rational maps with overlaps on the Riemann sphere. We show that if a d$d$-parameter family of such semigroups satisfies the transversality condition, then for almost every parameter value the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set is the minimum of 2 and the zero of the pressure function. Moreover, the Hausdorff dimension of the exceptional set of parameters is estimated. We also show that if the zero of the pressure function is greater than 2$2$, then typically the 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure of the Julia set is positive. Some sufficient conditions for a family to satisfy the transversality conditions are given. We give non-trivial examples of families of semigroups of non-linear polynomials with the transversality condition for which the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set is typically equal to the zero of the pressure function and is less than 2$2$. We also show that a family of small perturbations of the Sierpinski gasket system satisfies that for a typical parameter value, the Hausdorff dimension of the Julia set (limit set) is equal to the zero of the pressure function, which is equal to the similarity dimension. Combining the arguments on the transversality condition, thermodynamical formalisms and potential theory, we show that for each a∈C$a\in \mathbb{C}$ with |a|≠0,1$\left|a\right|\ne 0,1$, the family of small perturbations of the semigroup generated by {z²,az²}$\{z^2,a{z}^2\}$ satisfies that for a typical parameter value, the 2-dimensional Lebesgue measure of the Julia set is positive.     

Transversality of the Shapley value

A few applications of the Shapley value are described. The main choice criterion is to look at quite diversified fields, to appreciate how wide is the terrain that has been explored and colonized using this and related tools. The title is inspired by a tutorial that one of the authors planned to deliver at the 7th meeting on Game Theory and Practice (Montreal, 2007), but was unable to do it for personal reasons. Thanks to Georges Zaccour whose invitation sparked the present survey.     

Computing Bounds on the Expected Maximum of Correlated Normal Variables

We compute upper and lower bounds on the expected maximum of correlated normal variables (up to a few hundred in number) with arbitrary means, variances, and correlations. Two types of bounding processes are used: perfectly dependent normal variables, and independent normal variables, both with arbitrary mean values. The expected maximum for the perfectly dependent variables can be evaluated in closed form; for the independent variables, a single numerical integration is required. Higher moments are also available. We use mathematical programming to find parameters for the processes, so they will give bounds on the expected maximum, rather than approximations of unknown accuracy. Our original application is to the maximum number of people on-line simultaneously during the day in an infinite-server queue with a time-varying arrival rate. The upper and lower bounds are tighter than previous bounds, and in many of our examples are within 5% or 10% of each other. We also demonstrate the bounds’ performance on some PERT models, AR/MA time series, Brownian motion, and product-form correlation matrices.
