This paper concerns the tilt stability of local optimal solutions to a class of nonlinear semidefinite programs, which involves a twice continuously differentiable objective function and a convex feasible set. By leveraging the second…
We discuss in details a modified variational matrix-product-state algorithm for periodic boundary conditions, based on a recent work by P. Pippan, S.R. White and H.G. Everts, Phys. Rev. B 81, 081103(R) (2010), which enables one to study…
We identify a set of sufficient local conditions under which a significant portion of a Radon measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with compact support can be covered by an $n$-uniformly rectifiable set at the level of a ball $B\subset…
We study robust convex quadratic programs where the uncertain problem parameters can contain both continuous and integer components. Under the natural boundedness assumption on the uncertainty set, we show that the generic problems are…
An existence of a nontrivial solution in some `weaker' sense of the following system of equations \begin{align*} (-\Delta)^{s}u+l(x)\phi u+w(x)|u|^{k-1}u&=\mu~\text{in}~\Omega\nonumber\\ (-\Delta)^{s}\phi&=…
In the paper we discuss the problem of uniqueness of left inverses (solutions of two point Nevanlinna-Pick problem) in bounded convex domains, strongly linearly convex domains, the symmetrized bidisc and the tetrablock.
Experiments suggest that typical finite sets of square matrices admit spectrum maximizing products (SMPs): that is, products that attain the joint spectral radius (JSR). Furthermore, those SMPs are often combinatorially "simple." In this…
We study the shape stability of disks moving in an external Laplacian field in two dimensions. The problem is motivated by the motion of ionization fronts in streamer-type electric breakdown. It is mathematically equivalent to the motion of…
Stochastic non-local conservation law equation in the presence of discontinuous flux functions is considered in an $L^{1}\cap L^{2}$ setting. The flux function is assumed bounded and integrable (spatial variable). Our result is to prove…
We study a nonlinear decomposition of a positive definite matrix into two components: the inverse of another positive definite matrix and a symmetric matrix constrained to lie in a prescribed linear subspace. Equivalently, the inverse…
Motivated by recent work we study rotating ellipsoidal membranes in the framework of the light-cone supermembrane theory. We investigate stability properties of these classical solutions which are important for the quantization of super…
We study nonnegative solutions to the following Hardy-H\'enon type equations involving higher order fractional Laplacians $$ (-\Delta)^\sigma u = |x|^{-\alpha}u^{p} ~~~~~~ \mbox{in} ~ \mathbb{R}^n \backslash \{0\} $$ with a possible…
We study numerically and analytically the instabilities associated with phase separation in a solid layer on which an external material ux is imposed. The first instability is localized within a boundary layer at the exposed free surface by…
A class is studied of complex valued functions defined on the unit disk (with a possible exception of a discrete set) with the property that all their Pick matrices have not more than a prescribed number of negative eigenvalues. Functions…
In this paper, we consider a class of structured nonsmooth fractional minimization, where the first part of the objective is the ratio of a nonnegative nonsmooth nonconvex function to a nonnegative nonsmooth convex function, while the…
We study the critical Neumann problem \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} -\Delta u = |u|^{2^*-2}u &\text{in }\Sigma_\omega,\\ \quad\frac{\partial u}{\partial\nu}=0 &\text{on }\partial\Sigma_\omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} in the unbounded…
We show that for any positive integer $d$, there are families of switched linear systems---in fixed dimension and defined by two matrices only---that are stable under arbitrary switching but do not admit (i) a polynomial Lyapunov function…
We consider a solution to the mu-problem within M theory on a G2-manifold. Our study is based upon the discrete symmetry proposed by Witten that forbids the mu-term and solves the doublet-triplet splitting problem. We point out that the…
We consider general (not necessarily Hamiltonian) first-order symmetric system $J y'-B(t)y=\D(t) f(t)$ on an interval $\cI=[a,b) $ with the regular endpoint $a$. A distribution matrix-valued function $\Si(s), \; s\in\bR,$ is called a…
We present necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for finite time optimal control problems for a class of hybrid systems described by linear complementarity models. Although these optimal control problems are difficult in general…
