We establish a pre-order principle. From the principle, we obtain a very general set-valued Ekeland variational principle, where the objective function is a set-valued map taking values in a quasi ordered linear space and the perturbation…
In the setting of real vector spaces, we establish a general set-valued Ekeland variational principle (briefly, denoted by EVP), where the objective function is a set-valued map taking values in a real vector space quasi-ordered by a convex…
In this paper, we establish a partial order principle, which is useful to deriving vector Ekeland variational principle (denoted by EVP). By using the partial order principle and extending Gerstewitz's functions, we obtain a vector EVP for…
The present paper is concerned with Ekeland Variational Principle (EkVP) and its equivalents (Caristi-Kirk fixed point theorem, Takahashi minimization principle, Oettli-Th\'era equilibrium version of EkVP) in quasi-uniform spaces. These…
In this short communication, we present a generalization of the Ekeland variational principle. The main result is established through standard tools of functional analysis and calculus of variations. The novelty here is a result involving…
Motivated by the recent work on conditional risk measures, this paper studies the Ekeland's variational principle for a proper, lower semicontinuous and lower bounded $\bar{L}^{0}-$valued function, where $\bar{L}^{0}$ is the set of…
The purpose of this article is to obtain a better understanding of the extended variational principle (EVP). The EVP is a formula for the thermodynamic pressure of a statistical mechanical system as a limit of a sequence of minimization…
Roughly speaking, Ekeland's Variational Principle (EkVP) (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 47 (1974), 324--353) asserts the existence of strict minima of some perturbed versions of lower semicontinuous functions defined on a complete metric space.…
The vectorial Zhu-Li Variational Principle (ZLVP) in Fang uniform spaces is in the logical segment between the Brezis-Browder ordering principle (BB) and Ekeland's Variational Principle (EVP); hence, it is equivalent with both BB and EVP.…
In this note, we remark, with sufficient mathematical rigor, that many weak generalizations of the usual minimum available in the literature are not true generalizations. Motivated by the Ekeland Variational Principle, we provide, first…
Recently, M. Tsukamoto (New approach to weighted topological entropy and pressure, Ergod. Theory Dyn. Syst. 43 (2023) 1004-1034) used a new approach to define the weighted topological entropy and pressure. Inspired by his ideas, we…
In this paper, we attempt to propose Ekeland's variational principle for interval-valued functions (IVFs). To develop the variational principle, we study the concept of sequence of intervals. In the sequel, the idea of gH-semicontinuity for…
In this paper, we obtain a version of Ekeland's variational principle for interval-value functions by means of the Dancs-Hegedus-Medvegyev theorem [14]. We also derive two versions of Ekeland's variational principle involving the…
In many causal inference problems, multiple action variables, such as factors, mediators, or network units, often share a common causal role yet lack a natural ordering. To avoid ambiguity, the scientific interpretation of a vector of…
We analyze Ekeland's variational principle in the context of reverse mathematics. We find that that the full variational principle is equivalent to $\Pi^1_1$-${\sf CA}_0$, a strong theory of second-order arithmetic, while natural…
This article extends to the vector setting the results of our previous work Kruger et al. (2015) which refined and slightly strengthened the metric space version of the Borwein-Preiss variational principle due to Li and Shi, J. Math. Anal.…
We present a generalization of the variational principle that is compatible with any Hamiltonian eigenstate that can be specified uniquely by a list of properties. This variational principle appears to be compatible with a wide range of…
In this paper, we present some implicit function theorems for set-valued mappings between Fr\'echet spaces. The proof relies on Lebesgue's Dominated Convergence Theorem and on Ekeland's variational principle. An application to the existence…
It is shown that Vop\v{e}nka's Principle (VP) can restore almost the entire ZF over a weak fragment of it. Namely, if EST is the theory consisting of the axioms of Extensionality, Empty Set, Pairing, Union, Cartesian Product,…
In this paper, we propose a Conditioned Variational Autoencoder (C-VAE) for constrained top-N item recommendation where the recommended items must satisfy a given condition. The proposed model architecture is similar to a standard VAE in…
