We present below a new series of conjectures and open problems in the fields of (global) Optimization and Matrix analysis, in the same spirit as our recently published paper [J.-B. Hiriart-Urruty, Potpourri of conjectures and open questions in Nonlinear analysis and Optimization. SIAM Review 49 (2007) 255–273]. With each problem come a succinct presentation, a list of specific references, and a view on the state of the art of the subject.

A note on formal power series

Xiao-Xiong Gan, Dariusz Bugajewski (2010)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this note we investigate a relationship between the boundary behavior of power series and the composition of formal power series. In particular, we prove that the composition domain of a formal power series $g$ is convex and balanced which implies that the subset ${\bar{𝕏}}_{g}$ consisting of formal power series which can be composed by a formal power series $g$ possesses such properties. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the superposition operator $T_{g}$ to map ${\bar{𝕏}}_{g}$ into itself or to map $𝕏_{g}$ into...
