We investigate the local linear convergence properties of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) when applied to Semidefinite Programming (SDP). A longstanding belief suggests that ADMM is only capable of solving SDPs to…
Unimodular sequences with good auto/cross-correlation properties are favorable in wireless communication and radar applications. In this paper, we focus on designing these kinds of sequences. The main content is as follows: first, we…
It is known that semi-magic square matrices form a 2-graded algebra or superalgebra with the even and odd subspaces under centre-point reflection symmetry as the two components. We show that other symmetries which have been studied for…
In this work, we discuss the Automatic Adjoint Differentiation (AAD) for functions of the form $G=\frac{1}{2}\sum_1^m (Ey_i-C_i)^2$, which often appear in the calibration of stochastic models. { We demonstrate that it allows a perfect…
In this note we study associative dialgebras proving that the most interesting such structures arise precisely when the algebra is not semiprime. In fact the presence of some "perfection" property (simpleness, primitiveness, primeness or…
Given a non-negative, decreasing sequence $a$ with sum $1$, we consider all the closed subsets of $[0,1]$ such that the lengths of their complementary open intervals are given by the terms of $a$, the so-called complementary sets. In this…
Alternating direction methods of multipliers (ADMMs) are popular approaches to handle large scale semidefinite programs that gained attention during the past decade. In this paper, we focus on solving doubly nonnegative programs (DNN),…
Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a commutative semigroup, and let $T$ be a sequence of terms from the semigroup $\mathcal{S}$. We call $T$ an (additively) {\sl irreducible} sequence provided that no sum of its some terms vanishes. Given any element $a$…
The classification, up to a center-affinity, of the homogeneous quadratic differential systems defined on $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ that have at least a semisimple derivation with one-dimensional kernel, is achieved. It is proved that there exist 35…
We initiate the rigorous study of classification in semimetric spaces, which are point sets with a distance function that is non-negative and symmetric, but need not satisfy the triangle inequality. For metric spaces, the doubling dimension…
In this paper, we present a computational search for best-known merit factors of longer binary sequences with an odd length. Finding low autocorrelation binary sequences with optimal or suboptimal merit factors is a very difficult…
A dimension group is a partially ordered countable group such that (1) every finite subset is contained in an ordered subgroup which is a finite direct power of Z and (2) the group has an order unit i.e. a positive element u such that every…
Let A be an exact category, that is, an extension-closed full subcategory of an abelian category. Firstly, we give some necessary and sufficient conditions for A to have almost split sequences. Then, we study when an almost split sequence…
In this paper we study some sophisticated supercongruences involving dual sequences. For $n=0,1,2,\ldots$ define $$d_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom xk2^k$$ and $$s_n(x)=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom nk\binom xk\binom{x+k}k=\sum_{k=0}^n\binom…
In this paper, we explore a two-way connection between quasimodular forms of depth $1$ and a class of second-order modular differential equations with regular singularities on the upper half-plane and the cusps. Here we consider the cases…
This is a companion paper to arXiv:2312.10772. We deduce an equidistribution theorem for periodic nilsequences and use this theorem to give two applications in arithmetic combinatorics. The first application is quasi-polynomial bounds for a…
We define the notion of an almost polynomial identity of an associative algebra $R$, and show that its existence implies the existence of an actual polynomial identity of $R$. A similar result is also obtained for Lie algebras and Jordan…
The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) were extensively investigated in the past decades for solving separable convex optimization problems. Fewer researchers focused on exploring its convergence properties for the nonconvex…
We define a new class of binary matrices by maximizing the peak-sidelobe distances in the aperiodic autocorrelations. These matrices can be used as robust position marks for in-plane spatial alignment. The optimal square matrices of…
This paper is devoted to studying difference indices of quasi-regular difference algebraic systems. We give the definition of difference indices through a family of pseudo-Jacobian matrices. Some properties of difference indices are proved.…
