Monotone vector fields were introduced almost 40 years ago as nonlinear extensions of positive definite linear operators, but also as natural extensions of gradients of convex potentials. These vector fields are not always derived from…
In this work, we develop a variant of a bundle method in order to find a zero of a maximal monotone operator. This algorithm relies on two polyhedral approximations of the epsilon-enlargement of the considered operator, via a systematic use…
Mean field modeling is a popular approach to assess the performance of large scale computer systems. The evolution of many mean field models is characterized by a set of ordinary differential equations that have a unique fixed point. In…
In this paper, we will show a new characterization of operator monotone functions by a matrix reverse Cauchy inequality.
Submodular set functions are undoubtedly among the most important building blocks of combinatorial optimization. Somewhat surprisingly, continuous counterparts of such functions have also appeared in an analytic line of research where they…
In this paper, we present monotone sequences of lower and upper bounds on the Perron value of a nonngeative matrix, and we study their strict monotonicity. Using those sequences, we provide two combinatorial applications. One is to improve…
We study the existence and approximation of fixed points of metrically nonspreading mappings and firmly metrically nonspreading mappings in Hadamard spaces. The resolvents of monotone operators satisfying range conditions are typical…
We examine the linear convergence rates of variants of the proximal point method for finding zeros of maximal monotone operators. We begin by showing how metric subregularity is sufficient for linear convergence to a zero of a maximal…
We propose a notion of operator monotonicity for functions of several variables, which extends the well known notion of operator monotonicity for functions of only one variable. The notion is chosen such that a fundamental relationship…
We apply to operator algebra theory a monotone selection principle which apparently escaped attention (of operator algebra theorists) so far. This principle relates to the basic order theoretic characterisation of von Neumann algebras given…
Under non-exponential discounting, we develop a dynamic theory for stopping problems in continuous time. Our framework covers discount functions that induce decreasing impatience. Due to the inherent time inconsistency, we look for…
This paper introduce the notion of output contraction that expands the contraction notion to the time-varying nonlinear systems with output. It pertains to the systems' property that any pair of outputs from the system converge to each…
An iterative scheme for solving ill-posed nonlinear operator equations with monotone operators is introduced and studied in this paper. A Dynamical Systems Method (DSM) algorithm for stable solution of ill-posed operator equations with…
In this work we consider $$ w_t=[(w_{hh}+c_0)^{-3}]_{hh},\qquad w(0)=w^0, $$ which is derived from a thin film equation for epitaxial growth on vicinal surface. We formulate the problem as the gradient flow of a suitably-defined convex…
In previous work we established a multilinear duality and factorisation theory for norm inequalities for pointwise weighted geometric means of positive linear operators defined on normed lattices. In this paper we extend the reach of the…
Different mechanisms for the creation of strange non-chaotic dynamics in the quasiperiodically forced logistic map are studied. These routes to strange nonchaos are characterised through the behavior of the largest nontrivial Lyapunov…
The method of monotonization of difference schemes is being considered in the paper. The method was earlier proposed by the author for stationary problems. It is investigated in the paper more profoundly. The idea of the method is to build…
We characterize, in the context of rearrangement invariant spaces, the optimal range space for a class of monotone operators related to the Hardy operator. The connection between optimal range and optimal domain for these operators is…
The expectation is an example of a descriptive statistic that is monotone with respect to stochastic dominance, and additive for sums of independent random variables. We provide a complete characterization of such statistics, and explore a…
We present results from numerical studies of supervised learning operations in recurrent networks considered as graphs, leading from a given set of input conditions to predetermined outputs. Graphs that have optimized their output for…
