From the beginning of KAM theory, it was realized that its applicability to realistic problems depended on developing quantitative estimates on the sizes of the perturbations allowed. In this paper we present results on the existence of…
We investigate the local linear convergence properties of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) when applied to Semidefinite Programming (SDP). A longstanding belief suggests that ADMM is only capable of solving SDPs to…

We study several aspects of the regular deformations of completely integrable systems. Namely, we prove the existence of a Hamiltonian normal form for these deformations and we show the necessary and sufficient conditions a perturbation has…
We consider sensitivity of a semidefinite program under perturbations in the case that the primal problem is strictly feasible and the dual problem is weakly feasible. When the coefficient matrices are perturbed, the optimal values can…

This paper is concerned with a linear quadratic (LQ, for short) optimal control problem with fixed terminal states and integral quadratic constraints. A Riccati equation with infinite terminal value is introduced, which is uniquely solvable…

We show that some properties of log canonical centers of a log canonical pair (X,D) also hold for certain subvarieties that are close to being a log canonical center. As a consequence, we obtain that if one works with deformations of pairs…

The main goal of this paper is to introduce a framework for infinitesimal deformation problems, using new methods coming from operadic calculus. We construct an adjunction between infinitesimal deformation problems over some type of…

In this paper, we generalize the finiteness of models theorem in [BCHM06] to Kawamata log terminal pairs with fixed Kodaira dimension. As a consequence, we prove that a Kawamata log terminal pair with $\mathbb{R}-$boundary has a canonical…
We address the question of how to make best use of imperfect objects, such as defective analog and digital components. We show that perfect, or near-perfect, devices can be constructed by taking combinations of such defects. Any remaining…
Computations in small Coxeter groups and infinite dihedral groups suggest that Kazhdan-Lusztig cells for unequal parameters obey to some "semicontinuity" phenomenon (as the parameter vary). The aim of this paper is to provide a rigorous…
