Relaxation in nonconvex optimal control problems described by fractional differential equations

We consider the minimization problem of an integral functional with integrand that is not convex in the control on solutions of a control system described by fractional differential equation with mixed nonconvex constraints on the control. A relaxation problem is treated along with the original problem. It is proved that, under general assumptions, the relaxation problem has an optimal solution, and that for each optimal solution there is a minimizing sequence of the original problem that converges to the optimal solution with respect to the trajectory, the control, and the functional in appropriate topologies simultaneously.     

The strong approximation property and the weak bounded approximation property

We show that the strong approximation property (strong AP) (respectively, strong CAP) and the weak bounded approximation property (respectively, weak BCAP) are equivalent for every Banach space. This gives a negative answer to Oja's conjecture. As a consequence, we show that each of the spaces _c0$c_0$ and _?1${?}_1$ has a subspace which has the AP but fails to have the strong AP.     

Maximum Lebesgue extension of monotone convex functions

Given a monotone convex function on the space of essentially bounded random variables with the Lebesgue property (order continuity), we consider its extension preserving the Lebesgue property to as big solid vector space of random variables as possible. We show that there exists a maximum such extension, with explicit construction, where the maximum domain of extension is obtained as a (possibly proper) subspace of a natural Orlicz-type space, characterized by a certain uniform integrability property. As an application, we provide a characterization of the Lebesgue property of monotone convex function on arbitrary solid spaces of random variables in terms of uniform integrability and a “nice” dual representation of the function.     

A polynomial Hutton theorem with applications

Extending a classical linear result due to Hutton to a nonlinear setting, we prove that a continuous homogeneous polynomial between Banach spaces can be approximated by finite rank polynomials if and only if its adjoint can be approximated by finite rank linear operators. Among other consequences, we apply this result to generalize a classical result due to Aron and Schottenloher about the approximation property on spaces of polynomials and a recent result due to Çaliskan and Rueda about the quasi-approximation property on projective symmetric tensor products.

Efficient statistical inference for partially nonlinear errors-in-variables models

In this paper, we consider the partially nonlinear errors-in-variables models when the non- parametric component is measured with additive error. The profile nonlinear least squares estimator of unknown parameter and the estimator of nonparametric component are constructed, and their asymptotic properties are derived under general assumptions. Finite sample performances of the proposed statistical inference procedures are illustrated by Monte Carlo simulation studies.     

Analysis of orthogonal multi-matching pursuit under restricted isometry property

Orthogonal multi-matching pursuit(OMMP)is a natural extension of orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP)in the sense that N(N≥1)indices are selected per iteration instead of 1.In this paper,the theoretical performance of OMMP under the restricted isometry property(RIP)is presented.We demonstrate that OMMP can exactly recover any K-sparse signal from fewer observations y=φx,provided that the sampling matrixφsatisfiesδKN-N+1+(K/N)~(1/2)θKN-N+1,N1.Moreover,the performance of OMMP for support recovery from noisy observations is also discussed.It is shown that,for l_2 bounded and l_∞bounded noisy cases,OMMP can recover the true support of any K-sparse signal under conditions on the restricted isometry property of the sampling matrixφand the minimum magnitude of the nonzero components of the signal.     

Hierarchically penalized additive hazards model with diverging number of parameters

In many applications,covariates can be naturally grouped.For example,for gene expression data analysis,genes belonging to the same pathway might be viewed as a group.This paper studies variable selection problem for censored survival data in the additive hazards model when covariates are grouped.A hierarchical regularization method is proposed to simultaneously estimate parameters and select important variables at both the group level and the within-group level.For the situations in which the number of parameters tends to∞as the sample size increases,we establish an oracle property and asymptotic normality property of the proposed estimators.Numerical results indicate that the hierarchically penalized method performs better than some existing methods such as lasso,smoothly clipped absolute deviation(SCAD)and adaptive lasso.     

平面图的圈基内插性质

图Ｇ的一个圈基的长度是该自基中所有圈的长度之和．设Ｃ－、Ｃ－分别是Ｇ的最小、最大圈基长度．如果对任一自然数Ｃ，Ｃ－＜Ｃ＜Ｃ－，都存在Ｇ的一个长为Ｃ的圈基，则称Ｇ有圈基内插性质．本文证明了无三角形的外平面图没有圈基内插性质，并说明存在围长任意大且有圈基内插性质的平面图．
