Left general fractional monotone approximation theory

George A. Anastassiou (2016)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We introduce left general fractional Caputo style derivatives with respect to an absolutely continuous strictly increasing function g. We give various examples of such fractional derivatives for different g. Let f be a p-times continuously differentiable function on [a,b], and let L be a linear left general fractional differential operator such that L(f) is non-negative over a closed subinterval I of [a,b]. We find a sequence of polynomials Qₙ of degree ≤n such that L(Qₙ) is non-negative over I,...

LFS functions in multi-objective programming

Luka Neralić, Sanjo Zlobec (1996)

Applications of Mathematics

We find conditions, in multi-objective convex programming with nonsmooth functions, when the sets of efficient (Pareto) and properly efficient solutions coincide. This occurs, in particular, when all functions have locally flat surfaces (LFS). In the absence of the LFS property the two sets are generally different and the characterizations of efficient solutions assume an asymptotic form for problems with three or more variables. The results are applied to a problem in highway construction, where...
