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…
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…
We provide the first example of a finitely presented, and the first example of a simple, group of non-uniform exponential growth. The example is given by Thompson's group V.
Consider, on the space of marked groups, the map $\mathrm{Res}_{\mathcal{C}}$ which associates to a marked group its greatest residually-$\mathcal{C}$ quotient, for different sets $\mathcal{C}$ of groups. Except for trivial cases, this map…
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 show that groups with a mild form of non-positive curvature (a navigable path system) satisfy the weak rank rigidity conjecture: they either have linear divergence or a Morse element. This class includes discrete groups of projective…
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…
The classes of abelian groups that are (uniformly) strongly Hopfian abelian groups, and dually, (uniformly) strongly co-Hopfian abelian groups have been studied by several authors, including Abdelalim (2015) and Abdelalim-Chillali-Essanouni…
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 show that the affine cactus group is a CAT$(0)$ group for all degrees. Furthermore, we show that the affine cactus group $AJ_3$ of degree three is a hyperbolic group.
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…
In this short note we give a negative answer to the following open question: \emph{Let $X$ be a $\sigma$-compact paratopological group. Does there exist a continuous isomorphism of $X$ onto a topological group $G$?} Specifically, we…
Affine Coxeter groups are fundamental objects in mathematics and in crystallography. If two group elements are conjugate, then they have very similar algebraic and geometric properties. Using recent structural results of Mili\'cevi\'c,…
Nagano spaces are compact symmetric spaces that admit large transformation groups. They include for instance all the Grassmannians and the Einstein Universes. In this paper, we study a Kobayashi-type pseudometric on domains in real-type…
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…
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…
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…
