This paper is withdrawn. We found a mistake in Lemma 4.1

This paper presents a detailed proof of the triality theorem for a class of fourth-order polynomial optimization problems. The method is based on linear algebra but it solves an open problem on the double-min duality left in 2003. Results…

We prove a strengthened form of convexity for operator monotone decreasing positive functions defined on the positive real numbers. This extends Ando and Hiai's work to allow arbitrary positive maps instead of states (or the identity map),…

The possibilities of exploiting the special structure of d.c. programs, which consist of optimizing the difference of convex functions, are currently more or less limited to variants of the DCA proposed by Pham Dinh Tao and Le Thi Hoai An…

As mentioned in the comments, the proposed construction of the canonical quadratic refinement on a mapping torus contains a gap. In addition, the claim in the appendix that the spin cobordism group vanishes in dimensions 4k+3 is incorrect,…

In connection to a conjecture of W. L\"u. Q. Li and C. Yang we prove a result on small function sharing by a power of a meromorphic function with few poles and its derivative. Our results improve a number of known results.

A function is exponentially concave if its exponential is concave. We consider exponentially concave functions on the unit simplex. In a previous paper we showed that gradient maps of exponentially concave functions provide solutions to a…

We study the presumably unnecessary convexity hypothesis in the theorem of Chung et al. [CFS] on perimeter-minimizing planar tilings by convex pentagons. We prove that the theorem holds without the convexity hypothesis in certain special…

We disprove a conjecture in Density Functional Theory, relative to multimarginal optimal transport maps with Coulomb cost. We also provide examples of maps satisfying optimality conditions for special classes of data.

It is shown that, if nu >= 1/2 then the generalized Marcum Q function Q_nu(a, b) is log-concave in 0<=b <infty. This proves a conjecture of Sun, Baricz and Zhou (2010). We also point out relevant results in the statistics literature.

We continue the work of [5] and [3], in which are considered papers in the literature that discuss fixed point assertions in digital topology. We discuss published assertions that are incorrect or incorrectly proven; that are severely…

In math.GT/0002110 the author's Theorems 1.1 and 1.2, combined, implied that iterated torus knots are transversally simple. This result is in error and this erratum pin points the error. In "An addendum on iterated torus knots" a more…

This paper has been withdrawn by the author(s) and included into the new version of "An extension theorem for separately holomorphic functions with singularities", math.CV/0104089.

We present a general technique for the analysis of first-order methods. The technique relies on the construction of a duality gap for an appropriate approximation of the objective function, where the function approximation improves as the…

The aim of this article is to establish new two-functions minimax inequalities extending classical results such as Simons' minimax theorem. Our results will be proved in a non-compact setting. We also prove, under general conditions, that…

Theorem 1 of [14], a minimax result for functions $f:X\times Y\to {\bf R}$, where $Y$ is a real interval, was partially extended to the case where $Y$ is a convex set in a Hausdorff topological vector space ([15], Theorem 3.2). In doing…

In this paper, we establish three Landau-type theorems for certain bounded poly-analytic functions, which generalize the corresponding result for bi-analytic functions given by Liu and Ponnusamy [Canad. Math. Bull. 67(1): 2024, 152-165].…

We study the convergence behavior of the celebrated temporal-difference (TD) learning algorithm. By looking at the algorithm through the lens of optimization, we first argue that TD can be viewed as an iterative optimization algorithm where…

In this paper we present short algebraic proofs of the Linear Conway--Gordon--Sachs and the Linear van Kampen--Flores theorems in the spirit of the Radon theorem on convex hulls. {\bf Theorem.} {\it Take any $n+3$ general position points in…

In this paper we establish the convergence case of Khintchine's theorem for affine hyperplanes in function field of positive characteristic. Along with that, we also prove a quantitative version of the same. The main technique used in the…
