Characterization of Nonsmooth Semistrictly Quasiconvex and Strictly Quasiconvex Functions

New concepts of semistrict quasimonotonicity and strict quasimonotonicity for multivalued maps are introduced. It is shown that a locally Lipschitz map is (semi)strictly quasiconvex if and only if its Clarke subdifferential is (semi)strictly quasimonotone. Finally, an existence result for the corresponding variational inequality problem is obtained.     

On Characterizations of Prequasi-Invex Functions

In Ref. 1, Yang et al presented characterizations of prequasi-invex functions, semistrictly prequasi-invex functions, and strictly prequasi-invex functions, respectively, under a certain set of conditions. In this note, we show that the same results or even more general ones can be obtained under weaker assumptions.     

Characterizations and Applications of Prequasi-Invex Functions

In this paper, two new types of generalized convex functions are introduced. They are called strictly prequasi-invex functions and semistrictly prequasi-invex functions. Note that prequasi-invexity does not imply semistrict prequasi-invexity. The characterization of prequasi-invex functions is established under the condition of lower semicontinuity, upper semicontinuity, and semistrict prequasi-invexity, respectively. Furthermore, the characterization of semistrictly prequasi-invex functions is also obtained under the condition of prequasi-invexity and lower semicontinuity, respectively. A similar result is also obtained for strictly prequasi-invex functions. It is worth noting that these characterizations reveal various interesting relationships among prequasi-invex, semistrictly prequasi-invex, and strictly prequasi-invex functions. Finally, prequasi-invex, semistrictly prequasi-invex, and strictly prequasi-invex functions are used in the study of optimization problems.

On strictly proper equilibria

In this paper, an example is given to show that a strictly perfect equilibrium need not be strictly proper It is proved that, for a bimatrix game, a strictly perfect equilibrium is strictly proper if it is also quasistrong. Finally, for such games, the structure of the set of strictly proper equilibria is described.     

Quasiconvex,pseudoconvex, and strictly pseudoconvex quadratic functions

The purpose of this paper is twofold. Firstly, criteria for quasiconvex and pseudoconvex quadratic functions in nonnegative variables of Cottle, Ferland, and Martos are derived by specializing criteria proved by the author. We do not make use of the concept of positive subdefinite matrices. Instead, we are specializing criteria that were derived for quadratic functions on arbitrary convex sets to the special case of quadratic functions in nonnegative variables. The second purpose of this paper is to present several new criteria involving also strictly pseudoconvex quadratic functions.The author wishes to thank Professor R. W. Cottle for helpful discussions.     

On a new condition for strictly positive definite functions on spheres

Recently, Xu and Cheney (1992) have proved that if all the Legendre coefficients of a zonal function defined on a sphere are positive then the function is strictly positive definite. It will be shown in this paper that, even if finitely many of the Legendre coefficients are zero, the strict positive definiteness can be assured. The results are based on approximation properties of singular integrals, and provide also a completely different proof of the results of Xu and Cheney.

     

Finite-automaton transformations of strictly almost-periodic sequences

Different versions of the notion of almost-periodicity are natural generalizations of the notion of periodicity. The notion of strict almost-periodicity appeared in symbolic dynamics, but later proved to be fruitful in mathematical logic and the theory of algorithms as well. In the paper, a class of essentially almost-periodic sequences (i.e., strictly almost-periodic sequences with an arbitrary prefix added at the beginning) is considered. It is proved that the property of essential almost-periodicity is preserved under finite-automaton transformations, as well as under the action of finite transducers. The class of essentially almost-periodic sequences is contained in the class of almost-periodic sequences. It is proved that this inclusion is strict.
