This paper provides a framework for deriving a new set of necessary conditions for adverse control problems among two players. The distinguish feature of such problems is that the first player has a priori knowledge on the second player…
Existence and uniqueness results for the solution of the Gibbs-type formula from non-extensive mechanics are derived rigorously. A new conditional extremal problem is proposed to get in a more simple way the Gibbs-type formula itself.
We provide new sufficient conditions under which Ryser's conjecture holds.
We consider the time-varying actuator placement in continuous time, where the goal is to maximize the trace of the controllability Grammian. A natural relaxation of the problem is to allow the binary $\{0,1\}$ variable indicating whether an…
This is not a new result. Purpose of this work is to describe a method to search the analytical expression of the general real solution of the two-dimensional Laplace differential equation. This thing is not easy to find in scientific…
In this paper, we provide the following simple equivalent condition for a nonsymmetric Algebraic Riccati Equation to admit a stabilizing cone-preserving solution: an associated coefficient matrix must be stable. The result holds under the…
We propose a new concept of lifts of reversible diffusion processes and show that various well-known non-reversible Markov processes arising in applications are lifts in this sense of simple reversible diffusions. Furthermore, we introduce…
We prove an existence theorem for the sliding boundary variant of the Plateau problem for $2$-dimensional sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The simplest case of sufficient condition is when $n=3$ and the boundary $\Gamma$ is a finite disjoint union…
We obtain, using the Birman-Schwinger method, a series of necessary conditions for the existence of at least one bound state applicable to arbitrary central potentials in the context of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. These conditions…
This paper derives a differential contraction condition for the existence of an orbitally-stable limit cycle in an autonomous system. This transverse contraction condition can be represented as a pointwise linear matrix inequality (LMI),…
We derive a variant of the nonsmooth maximum principle for problems with pure state constraints. The interest of our result resides on the nonsmoothness itself since, when applied to smooth problems, it coincides with known results.…
In this paper we give a new, less restrictive condition for removability of singular sets, $E$, of smooth solutions to the m-Hessian equation (and also for more general fully nonlinear elliptic equations) in $\Omega \setminus E$, $\Omega…
We present a general approach to prove existence of solutions for optimal control problems not based on typical convexity conditions which quite often are very hard, if not impossible, to check. By taking advantage of several relaxations of…
We prove existence, uniqueness and regularity of weak solutions of a coupled parabolic-elliptic model in two dimensions; we consider the standard equations of magnetohydrodynamics with the advective terms removed from the velocity equation.…
In the present paper, a robust approach to a special class of convex feasibility problems is considered. By techniques of convex and variational analysis, conditions for the existence of robust feasible solutions and related error bounds…
In a recent paper (quant-ph/0102133) Chen, Liang, Li and Huang suggest a necessary and sufficient separability criterion, which is supposedly practical in judging the separability of any mixed state. In this note we briefly recapitulate…
In the semigroup approach to stochastic evolution equations, the fundamental issue of uniqueness of mild solutions is often "reduced" to the much easier problem of proving uniqueness for strong solutions. This reduction is usually carried…
This paper introduces the concept of renormalized solution for a general class of non-coercive nonlinear parabolic problems, including both singularities and unbounded lower order terms. We prove existence and uniqueness of renormalized…
In this paper, we propose some new semidefinite relaxations for a class of nonconvex complex quadratic programming problems, which widely appear in the areas of signal processing and power system. By deriving new valid constraints to the…
