Multicategory ψ-Learning and Support Vector Machine: Computational Tools

Many margin-based binary classification techniques such as support vector machine (SVM) and ψ-learning deliver high performance. An earlier article proposed a new multicategory ψ-learning methodology that shows great promise in generalization ability. However,ψ-learning is computationally difficult because it requires handling a nonconvex minimization problem. In this article, we propose two computational tools for multicategory ψ-learning. The first one is based on d.c. algorithms and solved by sequential quadratic programming, while the second one uses the outer approximation method, which yields the global minimizer via sequential concave minimization. Numerical examples show the proposed algorithms perform well.     

Fast TV Regularization for 2D Maximum Penalized Likelihood Estimation

Total Variation-based regularization, well established for image processing applications such as denoising, was recently introduced for Maximum Penalized Likelihood Estimation (MPLE) as an effective way to estimate nonsmooth probability densities. While the estimates show promise for a variety of applications, the nonlinearity of the regularization leads to computational challenges, especially in multidimensions. In this article we present a numerical methodology, based upon the Split Bregman L1 minimization technique, that overcomes these challenges, allowing for the fast and accurate computation of 2D TV-based MPLE. We test the methodology with several examples, including V-fold cross-validation with large 2D datasets, and highlight the application of TV-based MPLE to point process crime modeling. The proposed algorithm is implemented as the Matlab function TVMPLE. The Matlab (mex) code and datasets for examples and simulations are available as online supplements.     

conjugacy of 1-d diffeomorphisms with periodic points

It is shown that the set of heteroclinic orbits between two periodic orbits of saddle-node type induces functional moduli which are completely contained in a new `transition map'. For one-dimensional diffeomorphisms with saddle-node periodic points, two such diffeomorphisms are conjugated if and only if the transition maps of their heteroclinic orbits are the same. An equivalent transition map is given for diffeomorphisms with hyperbolic periodic points, and it is shown that this transition map is an invariant of conjugation. However, in this case the transition map alone is sufficient to guarantee conjugacy only in a limited sense.

     

Multiple attractors in a Leslie–Gower competition system with Allee effects

We investigate asymptotic dynamics of the classical Leslie–Gower competition model when both competing populations are subject to Allee effects. The system may possess four interior steady states. It is proved that for certain parameter regimes both competing populations may either go extinct, coexist or one population drives the other population to extinction depending on initial conditions.     

Global existence and decay of solutions for the generalized bad Boussinesq equation

In this paper,we consider the global existence of solutions for the Cauchy problem of the generalized sixth order bad Boussinesq equation.Moreover,we show that the supremum norm of the solution decays algebraically to zero as(1+t)(1/7)when t approaches to infnity,provided the initial data are sufciently small and regular.
