We study some topological properties of maximal ideal spaces of certain algebras of almost periodic functions. Our main result is that such spaces are contractible. We present certain corollaries of this result.
The proximal point method for a special class of nonconvex multiobjective functions is studied in this paper. We show that the method is well defined and that the accumulation points of any generated sequence, if any, are Pareto--Clarke…
In this note, we discuss common fixed point for a family of self mapping defined on a metric type space and satisfying a weakly contractive condition. In our development, we make use of the $\lambda$-sequence approach and also of a certain…
The purpose of this paper is to present the critical cases of the trace theorems for the restriction of functions to closed surfaces, and to give the asymptotics for the norms of the traces under dilations of the surface. We also discuss…
We make several contributions to our recent program investigating structural properties of algebras of operators on a Hilbert space. For example, we make substantial contributions to the noncommutative peak interpolation program begun by…
Cells sense the geometry and stiffness of their adhesive environment by active contractility. For strong adhesion to flat substrates, two-dimensional contractile network models can be used to understand how force is distributed throughout…
In this work, we investigate the problem of learning distance functions within the query-based learning framework, where a learner is able to pose triplet queries of the form: ``Is $x_i$ closer to $x_j$ or $x_k$?'' We establish formal…
We exploit qualitative probabilistic relationships among variables for computing bounds of conditional probability distributions of interest in Bayesian networks. Using the signs of qualitative relationships, we can implement abstraction…
The consolidation of suspended particulate matter under external forces such as pressure or gravity is of widespread interest. In this work, we derive a constitutive relation to describe the deformation of a {\it two-dimensional} strongly…
In this article, we study a class of contractive factors of $m$-hypercontractions for $m \in \mathbb{N}$. We find a characterization of such factors and this is achieved by finding explicit dilation of these factors on some weighted Bergman…
Succinct representations of a graph have been objects of central study in computer science for decades. In this paper, we study the operation called \emph{Distance Preserving Graph Contractions}, which was introduced by Bernstein et al.…
This article is devoted to one particular case of using universal accelerated proximal envelopes to obtain computationally efficient accelerated versions of methods used to solve various optimization problem setups. In this paper, we…
In this paper, the notions of $p$-cyclic $\phi$-contraction and $p$-cyclic Kannan nonexpansive mappings are introduced, and the existence of coupled best proximity points for such mappings is established.
Let $(A, B)$ be a nonempty bounded closed convex proximal parallel pair in a nearly uniformly convex Banach space and $T: A\cup B \rightarrow A\cup B$ be a continuous and asymptotically relatively nonexpansive map. We prove that there…
In [19], a general, inexact, efficient proximal quasi-Newton algorithm for composite optimization problems has been proposed and a sublinear global convergence rate has been established. In this paper, we analyze the convergence properties…
Generalizing the well-known relations on characteristic functions on a plane to the case of a one-dimensional regular surface (curve) with compact support, we establish implicit equations for these functions. Introducing an approximation,…
We propose the use of two point Pade approximants to find expressions valid uniformly in coupling constant for theories with both weak and strong coupling expansions. In particular, one can use these approximants in models with a…
In this paper we introduce a corrected extension of Burton's theory of large contractions in the context of triangle-perimeter contractions introduced by Petrov. Combining these two lines of research, we prove a fixed point result for large…
We investigate the almost everywhere convergence of sequences of convolution operators given by probability measures $\mu_n$ on $\mathbb R$. If this sequence of operators constitutes an approximate identity on a particular class of…
The No Unmeasured Confounding Assumption is widely used to identify causal effects in observational studies. Recent work on proximal inference has provided alternative identification results that succeed even in the presence of unobserved…
