In this paper we derive new second-order optimality conditions for a very general set-constrained optimization problem where the underlying set may be nononvex. We consider local optimality in specific directions (i.e., optimal in a…

The tensor product of two ordered vector spaces can be ordered in more than one way, just as the tensor product of normed spaces can be normed in multiple ways. Two natural orderings have received considerable attention in the past, namely…

Second order linear non-autonomous differential equations with negative stiffness are considered. Using Chetaev-like (Lyapunov-like) functions, necessary (sufficient) conditions are found for the solutions to be bounded for all initial…

We consider linear operators defined on a subspace of a complex Banach space into its topological antidual acting positively in a natural sense. The goal of this paper is to investigate of this kind of operators. The main theorem is a…

This paper addresses problems of second-order cone programming important in optimization theory and applications. The main attention is paid to the augmented Lagrangian method (ALM) for such problems considered in both exact and inexact…

The goal of this note is two-fold. First we present a brief overview of "weak" embeddings, with a special emphasis on sign embeddings which were introduced by H. P. Rosenthal in the early 1980s. We also discuss the related notion of narrow…

In a recent paper, Soner, Touzi and Zhang [20] have introduced a notion of second order backward stochastic differential equations (2BSDEs for short), which are naturally linked to a class of fully non-linear PDEs. They proved existence and…

The notion of singular reduction operators, i.e., of singular operators of nonclassical (conditional) symmetry, of partial differential equations in two independent variables is introduced. All possible reductions of these equations to…

In this paper, we present new convex relaxations for nonconvex quadratically constrained quadratic programming (QCQP) problems. While recent research has focused on strengthening convex relaxations using reformulation-linearization…

We show sharpened forms of the concentration of measure phenomenon centered at first order stochastic expansions. The bound are based on second order difference operators and second order derivatives. Applications to functions on the…

We are interested in existence results for second order differential inclusions, involving finite number of unilateral constraints in an abstract framework. These constraints are described by a set-valued operator, more precisely a proximal…

We apply recent circle tangency estimates due to Pramanik--Yang--Zahl to prove sharp weighted Fourier extension estimates for the cone in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $1$-dimensional weights. The idea of using circle tangency estimates to study…

Differential positivity and K-cooperativity, a special case of differential positivity, extend differential approaches to control to nonlinear systems with multiple equilibria, such as switches or multi-agent consensus. To apply this…

Using the operators of taking upper and lower cones in a poset with a unary operation, we define operators M(x,y) and R(x,y) in the sense of multiplication and residuation, respectively, and we show that by using these operators, a general…

This note is devoted to the study of Hyt\"{o}nen's extrapolation theorem of compactness on weighted Lebesgue spaces. Two criteria of compactness of linear operators in the two-weight setting are obtained. As applications, we obtain…

We observe that the characteristic polynomial of a linearly perturbed semidefinite matrix can be used to give the convergence rate of alternating projections for the positive semidefinite cone and a line. As a consequence, we show that such…

We consider contractions of complexified real cones, as recently introduced by Rugh in [Rugh10]. Dubois [Dub09] gave optimal conditions to determine if a matrix contracts a canonical complex cone. First we generalize his results to the case…

We study the kinematics of correlation functions of local and extended operators in a conformal field theory. We present a new method for constructing the tensor structures associated to primary operators in an arbitrary bosonic…

The aim of this paper and its prequel is to introduce and classify the irreducible holonomy algebras of the projective Tractor connection. This is achieved through the construction of a `projective cone', a Ricci-flat manifold one dimension…

We study cocycles (non-autonomous dynamical systems) satisfying a certain squeezing condition with respect to the quadratic form of a bounded self-adjoint operator acting in a Hilbert space. We prove that (under additional assumptions) the…
