A Radon–Nikodým theorem for Fréchet measures

We apply results in operator space theory to the setting of multidimensional measure theory. Using the extended Haagerup tensor product of Effros and Ruan, we derive a Radon–Nikodým theorem for bimeasures and then extend the result to general Fréchet measures (scalar-valued polymeasures). We also prove a measure-theoretic Grothendieck inequality, provide a characterization of the injective tensor product of two spaces of Lebesgue integrable functions, and discuss the possibility of a bounded convergence theorem for Fréchet measures.     

Self-adjoint Extensions for the Neumann Laplacian and Applications

A new technique is proposed for the analysis of shape optimization problems. The technique uses the asymptotic analysis of boundary value problems in singularly perturbed geometrical domains. The asymptotics of solutions are derived in the framework of compound and matched asymptotics expansions. The analysis involves the so-called interior topology variations. The asymptotic expansions are derived for a model problem, however the technique applies to general elliptic boundary value problems. The self-adjoint extensions of elliptic operators and the weighted spaces with detached asymptotics are exploited for the modelling of problems with small defects in geometrical domains, The error estimates for proposed approximations of shape functionals are provided.     

Applications of?the Cosecant and Related Numbers

Power series expansions for cosecant and related functions together with a vast number of applications stemming from their coefficients are derived here. The coefficients for the cosecant expansion can be evaluated by using: (1) numerous recurrence relations, (2) expressions resulting from the application of the partition method for obtaining a power series expansion and (3) the result given in Theorem 3. Unlike the related Bernoulli numbers, these rational coefficients, which are called the cosecant numbers and are denoted by c _k , converge rapidly to zero as k????. It is then shown how recent advances in obtaining meaningful values from divergent series can be modified to determine exact numerical results from the asymptotic series derived from the Laplace transform of the power series expansion for tcsc?(at). Next the power series expansion for secant is derived in terms of related coefficients known as the secant numbers d _k . These numbers are related to the Euler numbers and can also be evaluated by numerous recurrence relations, some of which involve the cosecant numbers. The approaches used to obtain the power series expansions for these fundamental trigonometric functions in addition to the methods used to evaluate their coefficients are employed in the derivation of power series expansions for integer powers and arbitrary powers of the trigonometric functions. Recurrence relations are of limited benefit when evaluating the coefficients in the case of arbitrary powers. Consequently, power series expansions for the Legendre-Jacobi elliptic integrals can only be obtained by the partition method for a power series expansion. Since the Bernoulli and Euler numbers give rise to polynomials from exponential generating functions, it is shown that the cosecant and secant numbers gives rise to their own polynomials from trigonometric generating functions. As expected, the new polynomials are related to the Bernoulli and Euler polynomials, but they are found to possess far more interesting properties, primarily due to the convergence of the coefficients. One interesting application of the new polynomials is the re-interpretation of the Euler-Maclaurin summation formula, which yields a new regularisation formula.     

Calculus of the Exponent of Kurdyka–Łojasiewicz Inequality and Its Applications to Linear Convergence of First-Order Methods

In this paper, we study the Kurdyka–?ojasiewicz (KL) exponent, an important quantity for analyzing the convergence rate of first-order methods. Specifically, we develop various calculus rules to deduce the KL exponent of new (possibly nonconvex and nonsmooth) functions formed from functions with known KL exponents. In addition, we show that the well-studied Luo–Tseng error bound together with a mild assumption on the separation of stationary values implies that the KL exponent is \(\frac{1}{2}\). The Luo–Tseng error bound is known to hold for a large class of concrete structured optimization problems, and thus we deduce the KL exponent of a large class of functions whose exponents were previously unknown. Building upon this and the calculus rules, we are then able to show that for many convex or nonconvex optimization models for applications such as sparse recovery, their objective function’s KL exponent is \(\frac{1}{2}\). This includes the least squares problem with smoothly clipped absolute deviation regularization or minimax concave penalty regularization and the logistic regression problem with \(\ell _1\) regularization. Since many existing local convergence rate analysis for first-order methods in the nonconvex scenario relies on the KL exponent, our results enable us to obtain explicit convergence rate for various first-order methods when they are applied to a large variety of practical optimization models. Finally, we further illustrate how our results can be applied to establishing local linear convergence of the proximal gradient algorithm and the inertial proximal algorithm with constant step sizes for some specific models that arise in sparse recovery.     

Extensions of regular mappings and the ?ojasiewicz exponent at infinity

Let F:V→Cm be a regular mapping, where V⊂Cn is an algebraic set of positive dimension and m?n?2, and let L_∞(F) be the ?ojasiewicz exponent at infinity of F. We prove that F has a polynomial extension G:Cn→Cm such L_∞(G)=L_∞(F). Moreover, we give an estimate of the degree of the extension G. Additionally, we prove that if then for any β∈Q, β?L_∞(F), the mapping F has a polynomial extension G with L_∞(G)=β. We also give an estimate of the degree of this extension.     

Characterizations and Extensions of Lipschitz-α Operators

In this work, we prove that a map F from a compact metric space K into a Banach space X over F is a Lipschitz-α operator if and only if for each σ in X^＊ the map σoF is a Lipschitz-α function on K. In the case that K = [a, b], we show that a map f from [a, b] into X is a Lipschitz-1 operator if and only if it is absolutely continuous and the map σ→ （σ o f）＇ is a bounded linear operator from X^＊ into L^∞（[a, b]）. When K is a compact subset of a finite interval （a, b） and 0 〈 α ≤ 1, we show that every Lipschitz-α operator f from K into X can be extended as a Lipschitz-α operator F from [a, b] into X with Lα（f） ≤ Lα（F） ≤ 3^1-α Lα（f）. A similar extension theorem for a little Lipschitz-α operator is also obtained.     

γ-Subdifferential and γ-convexity of functions on a normed space

In this paper, the -subdifferential is introduced for investigating the global behavior of real-valued functions on a normed spaceX. Iff: DX attains its global minimum onD atx ^*, then 0 f(x ^*). This necessary condition always holds, even iff is not continuous orx ^* is at the boundary of its domain. Nevertheless, it is useful because, by choosing a suitable ₊, many local minima cannot satisfy this necessary condition. For the sufficient conditions, the so-called -convex functions are defined. The class of these functions is rather large. For example, every periodic function on the real line is a -convex function. There are -convex functions which are not continuous everywhere. Every function of bounded variation can be represented as the difference of two -convex functions. For all that, -convex functions still have properties similar to those of convex functions. For instance, each -local minimizer off is at the same time a global one. Iff attains its global minimum onD, then it does so at least at one point of its -boundary.This research was supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. The author thanks Professors R. Bulirsch, K. H. Hoffmann, and H. G. Bock for inviting him to Munich and Augsburg where this research was done.     

Characteristic Modules of Dual Extensions and Groebner Bases

Let C be a finite dimensional directed algebra over an algebraically closed field k and A=A(C) the dual extension of C. The characteristic modules of A are constructed explicitly for a class of directed algebras, which generalizes the results of Xi. Furthermore, it is shown that the characteristic modules of dual extensions of a certain class of directed algebras admit the left Groebner basis theory in the sense of E. L. Green.     

On the Convergence of Newton-Like Methods Based on M-Fréchet Differentiable Operators and Applications in Radiative Transfer

In this study we approximate a locally unique solution of a nonlinear operator equation in Banach space using Newton-like methods. A complete error analysis of our method is also given. Our new theorem uses Lipschitz or Hölder continuity assumptions on m-Fréchet-differentiable operators where m 2 is a positive integer. A numerical example is given to show that our results provide a better information on the location of the solution as well as finer error bounds on the distances involved than earlier results. A second numerical example shows how to solve a nonlinear integral equation appearing in radiative transfer.     

Differential Calculus on Compact Quantum Group Uθ（2） and its Applications

In this paper, via constructing special matrices, we will show that there exists a differential calculus on Uθ（2）, where θ is an irrational number. Then using the above results, we shall discuss the properties of infinitesimal generators of corepresentations of Uθ（2）. And in the final, we shall discuss its irreducible corepresentations and give the Peter-Weyl theorem explicitly for compact quantum group Uθ（2）.     

γ-Subdifferential and γ-convexity of functions on the real line

In this paper the -subdifferential and -convexity of real-valued functions on the real line are introduced. By means of the -subdifferential, a new necessary condition for global minima (or maxima) is formulated which many local minima (or maxima) cannot satisfy. The -convexity is used to state sufficient conditions for global minima. The class of -convex functions is relatively large. For example, there are -convex functions which are not continuous anywhere. Nevertheless, a -local minimum of a -convex function is always a global minimum. Furthermore, if a -convex function attains its global minimum, then it does so near the boundary of its domain.This research was supported by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.

Prüfer and Morita Hulls of FCP Extensions

We examine in this paper some properties of Morita and Prüfer hulls of FCP and FIP extensions of rings. Dichotomy phenomena appear in the case of a quasi-local base ring. In the general case, we define relative supports that allow us to introduce the concept of direct factorization of an extension and to characterize these hulls.     

Extensions of the disc algebra and of Mergelyanʼs theorem

We investigate the uniform limits of the set of polynomials on the closed unit disc $\overline{D}$ with respect to the chordal metric χ. More generally, we examine analogous questions replacing $\mathbb{C}\cup \{\infty \}$ by other metrizable compactifications of $\mathbb{C}$.     

Double convergence and products of Fréchet spaces

The paper is devoted to convergence of double sequences and its application to products. In a convergence space we recognize three types of double convergences and points, respectively. We give examples and describe their structure and properties. We investigate the relationship between the topological and convergence closure product of two Fréchet spaces. In particular, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the topological product of two compact Hausdorff Fréchet spaces to be a Fréchet space.
