Characterizations of ɛ-duality gap statements for constrained optimization problems

Horaţiu-Vasile Boncea, Sorin-Mihai Grad (2013)

Open Mathematics

In this paper we present different regularity conditions that equivalently characterize various ɛ-duality gap statements (with ɛ ≥ 0) for constrained optimization problems and their Lagrange and Fenchel-Lagrange duals in separated locally convex spaces, respectively. These regularity conditions are formulated by using epigraphs and ɛ-subdifferentials. When ɛ = 0 we rediscover recent results on stable strong and total duality and zero duality gap from the literature.

Clarke critical values of subanalytic Lipschitz continuous functions

Jérôme Bolte, Aris Daniilidis, Adrian Lewis, Masahiro Shiota (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

The main result of this note asserts that for any subanalytic locally Lipschitz function the set of its Clarke critical values is locally finite. The proof relies on Pawłucki's extension of the Puiseux lemma. In the last section we give an example of a continuous subanalytic function which is not constant on a segment of "broadly critical" points, that is, points for which we can find arbitrarily short convex combinations of gradients at nearby points.

Closedness type regularity conditions for surjectivity results involving the sum of two maximal monotone operators

Radu Ioan Boţ, Sorin-Mihai Grad (2011)

Open Mathematics

In this note we provide regularity conditions of closedness type which guarantee some surjectivity results concerning the sum of two maximal monotone operators by using representative functions. The first regularity condition we give guarantees the surjectivity of the monotone operator S(· + p) + T(·), where p ɛ X and S and T are maximal monotone operators on the reflexive Banach space X. Then, this is used to obtain sufficient conditions for the surjectivity of S + T and for the situation when...

Coincidence points and maximal elements of multifunctions on convex spaces

Sehie Park (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Generalized and unified versions of coincidence or maximal element theorems of Fan, Yannelis and Prabhakar, Ha, Sessa, Tarafdar, Rim and Kim, Mehta and Sessa, Kim and Tan are obtained. Our arguments are based on our recent works on a broad class of multifunctions containing composites of acyclic maps defined on convex subsets of Hausdorff topological vector spaces.

Commutative neutrix convolution products of functions

Brian Fisher, Adem Kiliçman (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The commutative neutrix convolution product of the functions x r e - λ x and x s e + μ x is evaluated for r , s = 0 , 1 , 2 , ... and all λ , μ . Further commutative neutrix convolution products are then deduced.

Compactness of Special Functions of Bounded Higher Variation

Luigi Ambrosio, Francesco Ghiraldin (2013)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Given an open set Ω ⊂ Rm and n > 1, we introduce the new spaces GBnV(Ω) of Generalized functions of bounded higher variation and GSBnV(Ω) of Generalized special functions of bounded higher variation that generalize, respectively, the space BnV introduced by Jerrard and Soner in [43] and the corresponding SBnV space studied by De Lellis in [24]. In this class of spaces, which allow as in [43] the description of singularities of codimension n, the distributional jacobian Ju need not have finite...
