D.C. Representability of closed sets in reflexive Banach spaces and applications to optimization problems

A closed subsetM of a Hausdorff locally convex space is called d.c. representable if there are an extended-real valued lsc convex functionf and a continuous convex functionh such that $$M = \{ x \in X:f(x) - h(x) \leqslant 0\} .$$ Using the existence of a locally uniformly convex norm, we prove that any closed subset in a reflexive Banach space is d.c. representable. For d.c. representable subsets, we define an index of nonconvexity, which can be regarded as an indicator for the degree of nonconvexity. In fact, we show that a convex closed subset is weakly closed when it has a finite index of nonconvexity, and optimization problems on closed subsets with a low index of nonconvexity are less difficult from the viewpoint of computation.     

Pulsed NMRON oscillatory free induction decay signals in the angular distribution of gamma radiation from plated60CoFe

Results for an inhomogeneously broadened⁶⁰CoFe NMRON sample have been obtained for gamma detected single pulse (nutation) and two pulse (free induction decay) experiments in the region of intermediate-to-lowR(=₁/). Here ₁ is the angular frequency measure of the strength of the ferromagnetically enhanced RF field at the nucleus and is the HWHM of the inhomogeneously broadened line. Comparisons of the oscillatory FID signals obtained are made with the theoretical predictions of the following paper [6].
