Augmented Lagrangian Functions for Cone Constrained Optimization: the
Existence of Global Saddle Points and Exact Penalty Property
July 18, 2017
Mathematics
Optimization and Control
In the article we present a general theory of augmented Lagrangian functions
for cone constrained optimization problems that allows one to study almost all
known augmented Lagrangians for cone constrained programs within a unified
framework...

History and Overview
Classical Analysis and ODEs
An infinite continued composition is an expression of the form
\begin{equation*} \lim_{n\to\infty}t_0\circ t_1 \circ t_2 \circ \cdots \circ
t_n(c)\;, \end{equation*} where the ti are maps from a set D to itself,
the initial value c i...
An extension of the Erd\H{o}s-Tur\'{a}n additive base conjecture via
generalized circles of partition
July 16, 2017
Mathematics
Number Theory
This paper is an extension program of the notion of circle of partition
developed in our first paper \cite{CoP}. As an application we prove the
Erd\H{o}s-Tur\'{a}n additive base conjecture....
A technique for solving the polygon inclusion problems

Computational Geometry
We propose a technique called Rotate-and-Kill for solving the polygon
inclusion and circumscribing problems. By applying this technique, we obtain
O(n) time algorithms for computing (1) the maximum area triangle in a given
n-sided conve...

Analysis of PDEs
We give some examples of the existence of solutions of geometric PDEs (Yamabe
equation, Prescribed Scalar Curvature Equation, Gaussian curvature). We also
give some remarks on second order PDE and Green functions and on the maximum

The two-dimensional (2D) IV-V semiconductors have attracted much attention
due to their fascinating electronic and optical properties. In this work, we
predicted three phases of silicon nitrides, denoted α-Si2N2,

We investigate Ramsey expansions, the coherent extension property for partial
isometries (EPPA), and the existence of a stationary independence relation for
all classes of metrically homogeneous graphs from Cherlin's catalogue. We show
that...

condition, the position of the rightmost particle has Tracy Widom GSE

The hierarchical topology is a common property of many complex systems. Here
we introduce a simple but generic model of hierarchy growth from the bottom to
the top. Therein, two dynamical processes are accounted for: agent's promotions
to n...

Supersymmetric states in M-theory are mapped after compactification to
perturbatively non-supersymmetric states in type IIA string theory, with the
supersymmetric parts being encoded in the non-perturbative section of the
string theory. An ...
