An analysis of single-index model with monotonic link function

The single-index model with monotonic link function is investigated. Firstly, it is showed that the link function h（.） can be viewed by a graphic method. That is, the plot with the fitted response y on the horizontal axis and the observed y on the vertical axis can be used to visualize the link function. It is pointed out that this graphic approach is also applicable even when the link function is not monotonic. Note that many existing nonparametric smoothers can also be used to assess h（.）. Therefore, the I-spline approximation of the link function via maximizing the covariance function with a penalty function is investigated in the present work. The consistency of the criterion is constructed. A small simulation is carried out to evidence the efficiency of the approach proposed in the paper.

Paths to constrained Nash equilibria

We propose and analyze a primal-dual, infinitesimal method for locating Nash equilibria of constrained, non-cooperative games. The main object is a family of nonstandard Lagrangian functions, one for each player. With respect to these functions the algorithm yields separately, in differential form, directions of steepest-descent in all decision variables and steepest-ascent in all multipliers. For convergence we need marginal costs to be monotone and constraints to be convex inequalities. The method is largely decomposed and amenable for parallel computing. Other noteworthy features are: non-smooth data can be accommodated; no projection or optimization is needed as subroutines; multipliers converge monotonically upward; and, finally, the implementation amounts, in essence, only to numerical integration.     

On Completely Integrable Systems with Local Torus Actions

This paper concerns with symplectic topology of compact completely integrable Hamiltonian systems with only stable nondegenerate elliptic singularities. We describe all systems whose universal coverings admit actian-angle coordinates and, in particular, prove that some finite cover of a base space is diffeomorphic to a product of a convex polytope and a solvmanifold. We also construct an obstruction, vanishing of which guarantees splitting of some finite cover of a phase space as a toric variety and a torus fibering over a solvmanifold.

On the lattice of n-filters of an LM n -algebra

For an n-valued Łukasiewicz-Moisil algebra L (or LM _n -algebra for short) we denote by F _n (L) the lattice of all n-filters of L. The goal of this paper is to study the lattice F _n (L) and to give new characterizations for the meet-irreducible and completely meet-irreducible elements on F _n (L).      

The Terwilliger Algebra Associated with a Set of Vertices in a Distance-Regular Graph

Let Γ be a distance-regular graph of diameter D. Let X denote the vertex set of Γ and let Y be a nonempty subset of X. We define an algebra τ = τ(Y). This algebra is finite dimensional and semisimple. If Y consists of a single vertex then τ is the corresponding subconstituent algebra defined by P. Terwilliger. We investigate the irreducible τ-modules. We define endpoints and thin condition on irreducible τ-modules as a generalization of the case when Y consists of a single vertex. We determine when an irreducible module is thin. When the module is generated by the characteristic vector of Y, it is thin if and only if Y is a completely regular code of Γ. By considering a suitable subset Y, every irreducible τ(x)-module of endpoint i can be regarded as an irreducible τ(Y)-module of endpoint 0.This research was partially supported by the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (No. 12640039), Japan Society of the Promotion of Science.

Poisson brackets associated to the conformal geometry of curves

In this paper we present an invariant moving frame, in the group theoretical sense, along curves in the Möbius sphere. This moving frame will describe the relationship between all conformal differential invariants for curves that appear in the literature. Using this frame we first show that the Kac-Moody Poisson bracket on can be Poisson reduced to the space of conformal differential invariants of curves. The resulting bracket will be the conformal analogue of the Adler-Gel'fand-Dikii bracket. Secondly, a conformally invariant flow of curves induces naturally an evolution on the differential invariants of the flow. We give the conditions on the invariant flow ensuring that the induced evolution is Hamiltonian with respect to the reduced Poisson bracket. Because of a certain parallelism with the Euclidean case we study what we call Frenet and natural cases. We comment on the implications for completely integrable systems, and describe conformal analogues of the Hasimoto transformation.
