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…
Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) formulate the solution of partial differential equations as residual minimization problems over neural network parameterizations. Although highly flexible, optimization of PINNs using modern variants…
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…
Given a matrix $A$, a matrix nearness problem seeks an $X$ that most closely approximates $A$ in the sense of minimizing $\lVert A - X\rVert$ under a variety of constraints on $X$. A generalized matrix nearness problem seeks the same but…
We consider the numerical solution of partial differential equations with coefficients that are strongly heterogeneous in space. We provide an overview of higher-order localized orthogonal decomposition (LOD) methods for the elliptic…
In this note, we give short proofs of three theorems concerning extremal problems in the Johnson scheme, or, in other terminology, on $(n,k,L)$-systems. The main result is a proof of the Aljohani--Bamberg--Cameron conjecture which claims…
A novel mixed spectral-Galerkin method based on generalized ball polynomials is proposed for solving the biharmonic equation on a unit ball. By introducing an auxiliary variable to decouple the biharmonic equation into a system of…
Developing high-order numerical schemes for two-phase flow in porous media that preserve key physical properties remains a significant challenge in numerical analysis. In this article, we propose a general framework to construct fully…
We extend the notion of mex, which is central in combinatorial number theory, to an arbitrary combinatorial structure, and we prove a general theorem to determine the generating function of the objects having fixed mex. We then study this…
We consider Subtraction Nim, where two players have exactly the same options, but which is partizan in the sense that at the game ending, a partizan rule is applied for the decision of the winner. We consider the following example: Let $S$…
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…
We study a question of Harju from 2019 regarding the existence of infinite ternary square-free words whose subsequences modulo $p$ and $q$ are also square-free for relatively prime integers $p$ and $q$. Among such pairs $(p, q)$ with $p, q…
We introduce variants of the Maker-Breaker and Waiter-Client games, which we call \emph{stotting}, in which a player grants a slight advantage to the opponent. We prove that a winning strategy in either stotting variant yields winning…
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…
Given $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and a $p$-random subset $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$, we asymptotically determine $\log \Pr(|\mathbb{N} \setminus (A + A)| \ge m)$ for $p$ above the threshold for this property. The proof is based on a bespoke container…
Let $G_1$ denote the incidence graph of the complete graph $K_{q+1}$. We study limited augmented Zarankiewicz numbers in this family by combining exact 0--1 ILP computations for the smallest cases with a constructive search procedure…
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…
We derive the local and central limit theorems for the Stirling numbers of the second kind by elementary means, obtaining as corollaries effective asymptotic estimates for the Bell numbers and for the moments of the distribution. We also…
