In this paper, we are dealing with constrained vector optimisation problems where the objective function acts between real linear-topological spaces. Our aim is to study the relationships between the sets of properly efficient solutions to…

Given a finite abelian group $G$ and a Sylow $p$-subgroup $N_p$, we prove that the $KU_G/p$-local sphere spectrum is equivalent to the homotopy fixed points of a $p$-complete $KO_{N_p}$-module spectrum. Then we compute the…

We propose Acc-Sinkhorn, a simple accelerated variant of Sinkhorn for entropy-regularized optimal transport (EOT). The method is derived from a bilevel optimization view: Sinkhorn row scaling solves the inner variable $u$ exactly and…

The asymptotic Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (AKKT) optimality conditions are distinguished from other approaches in the literature by virtue of their capacity to be effectively derived through numerical methods, such as the utilization of an…

This paper studies a type of rank-based mean field game in which competing agents strategically switch among multiple effort regimes. We propose an entropy regularized auxiliary problem where the switching decisions are randomized to the…

Distributed online stochastic optimization has received extensive attention in large-scale distributed learning and other related fields due to its unique advantage in processing streaming data. However, information exchange through the…

We propose a new disjunctive regularization for mathematical programs with complementarity constraints (MPCC). Its feasible set coincides with that of the Kanzow-Schwartz regularization. However, their functional descriptions differ…

In this paper, we study a structured class of nonconvex constrained stochastic problems with difference-of-convex (DC) regularization, where the feasible set is possibly nonconvex and the concave part of the DC regularizer is allowed to be…

Let $(R,\frak m)$ be a generalized Cohen-Macaulay local ring of prime characteristic $p$. In this paper we give a sharp bound for the Frobenius test exponent of parameter ideals. Namely, we prove that $$\mathrm{Fte}(R) \le \lceil…

We study the existence of area-minimizing homotopies between homotopic curves in the plane. While the classical Plateau problem establishes the existence of least-area surfaces spanning a single Jordan curve, the corresponding existence…

It is well known that every compact oriented 3-manifold admits an ideal triangulation, and that any two such triangulations with at least two ideal tetrahedra are related by a sequence of Pachner $2$-$3$ moves. Motivated by constructions in…

We study the subclass of potential mean-field games in which the running interaction cost and the terminal target cost are both expressed through reproducing-kernel maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) penalties, and develop a computational…

This paper studies the nonconvex quadratic root-difference minimization under elliptic annulus constraints {\rm (QR)}. We first establish the Annulus Brickman theorem and equivalently reformulate {\rm (QR)} as a 2-dimensional convex problem…

We propose restarted accelerated primal-dual algorithms with (non-monotone) backtracking (rAPDB) for convex nonlinear conic programs, with quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs) as a special case. Unlike linear and quadratic…

We classify knot traces with trisection genus at most 2. We give infinitely many knots whose traces have trisection genus 3, and infinitely many knots whose traces have trisection genus 4. We also show that there exist infinite families of…

We develop a framework for discrete p-density and compression-radius profiles of lattice knots. For lattice polygons representing a fixed knot type, we define scale-free density quantities by dividing lattice length by chord-length spread…

Purpose: This work aims to develop an image reconstruction algorithm for wide-angle digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) that has improved depth resolution and in-plane contrast while reducing non-uniformity artifacts. Approach: The image…

Let $R$ be a local or positively graded ring with a regular presentation $R \cong Q/I$ where $I$ is a monomial ideal generated by $n$ elements on a regular sequence. In Briggs-Grifo-Pollitz (2025), the authors classify the cohomological…

We study the existence of an optimizer for a quantitative isoperimetric ratio $\mathcal{Q}_*$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ involving the Hausdorff asymmetry. We prove that $\mathcal{Q}_*$ attains its minimum over the class $\mathcal{A}$ of convex…

Let $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ be the level-$p$ principal congruence subgroup of $\text{Sp}_{2n}(\mathbb{Z})$ for all prime $p$. Borel--Serre demonstrated that the cohomology of $\Gamma_{2n}^\omega(p)$ vanishes above degree $n^2$. We prove…
