Generalization of Primal—Dual Interior-Point Methods to Convex Optimization Problems in Conic Form

We generalize primal—dual interior-point methods for linear programming (LP) problems to the convex optimization problems in conic form. Previously, the most comprehensive theory of symmetric primal—dual interior-point algorithms was given by Nesterov and Todd for feasible regions expressed as the intersection of a symmetric cone with an affine subspace. In our setting, we allow an arbitrary convex cone in place of the symmetric cone. Even though some of the impressive properties attained by Nesterov—Todd algorithms are impossible in this general setting of convex optimization problems, we show that essentially all primal—dual interior-point algorithms for LP can be extended easily to the general setting. We provide three frameworks for primal—dual algorithms, each framework corresponding to a different level of sophistication in the algorithms. As the level of sophistication increases, we demand better formulations of the feasible solution sets. Our algorithms, in return, attain provably better theoretical properties. We also make a very strong connection to quasi-Newton methods by expressing the square of the symmetric primal—dual linear transformation (the so-called scaling) as a quasi-Newton update in the case of the least sophisticated framework.

Fixed point theorems for multi-valued contractive mappings and multi-valued Caristi type mappings

In this paper, the famous Banach contraction principle and Caristi's fixed point theorem are generalized to the case of multi-valued mappings. Our results are extensions of the well-known Nadler's fixed point theorem [S.B. Nadler Jr., Multi-valued contraction mappings, Pacific J. Math. 30 (1969) 475-487], as well as of some Caristi type theorems for multi-valued operators, see [N. Mizoguchi, W. Takahashi, Fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings on complete metric spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 141 (1989) 177-188; J.P. Aubin, Optima and Equilibria.

Plasticity in metric spaces

In this paper we examine the properties of EC-plastic metric spaces, spaces which have the property that any noncontractive bijection from the space onto itself must be an isometry.     

Homotopy Method for a General Multiobjective Programming Problem

In this paper, we study a class of vector minimization problems on a complete metric space X which is identified with the corresponding complete metric space of objective functions . We do not impose any compactness assumption on X. We show that, for most (in the sense of Baire category) functions , the corresponding vector optimization problem has a solution.     

Extremal <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-invariant eigenvalues of the Laplacian of <Emphasis Type="Italic">G</Emphasis>-invariant metrics

The study of extremal properties of the spectrum often involves restricting the metrics under consideration. Motivated by the work of Abreu and Freitas in the case of the sphere S ² endowed with S ¹-invariant metrics, we consider the subsequence of the spectrum of a Riemannian manifold M which corresponds to metrics and functions invariant under the action of a compact Lie group G. If G has dimension at least 1, we show that the functional λ _k ^G admits no extremal metric under volume-preserving G-invariant deformations. If, moreover, M has dimension at least three, then the functional is unbounded when restricted to any conformal class of G-invariant metrics of fixed volume. As a special case of this, we can consider the standard O(n)-action on S ⁿ ; however, if we also require the metric to be induced by an embedding of S ⁿ in , we get an optimal upper bound on .      

Local Minimal Curves in Homogeneous Reductive Spaces of the Unitary Group of a Finite von Neumann Algebra

We study the metric geometry of homogeneous reductive spaces of the unitary group of a finite von Neumann algebra with a non complete Riemannian metric. The main result gives an abstract sufficient condition in order that the geodesics of the Levi-Civita connection are locally minimal. Then, we show how this result applies to several examples.

两类具有标量旗曲率的弱Berwald度量

In this paper, we study the （α,β）-metrics of scalar flag curvature in the form of F = α ＋ εβ ＋ κβ^2/α （ε and k ≠ 0 are constants） and F = α^2/α-β. We prove that these two kinds of metrics are weak Berwaldian if and only if they are Berwaldian and their flag curvatures vanish. In this case, the metrics are locally Minkowskian.
