This letter aims at resolving the issues raised in the recent short communication [1] and answered by [2] by proposing a systematic approximation scheme based on non-mapped shape functions, which both allows to fully exploit the unique…
Supersymmetric gauge theories in five dimensions often exhibit less symmetry than the ultraviolet fixed points from which they flow. The fixed points might have larger flavor symmetry or they might even be secretly six-dimensional theories…
The method of cyclic projections finds nearest points in the intersection of finitely many affine subspaces. To accelerate convergence, Gearhart and Koshy proposed a modification which, in each iteration, performs an exact line search based…
We review the correspondence between symmetric affine theories and the nonlinear Einstein-Proca system that was found by Einstein and Schrodinger. With the use of this correspondence, we investigate static spherically symmetric solutions in…
We consider an optimization problem in a convex space $E$ with an affine objective function, subject to $J$ constraints in the forms of inequalities on some other affine functions, where $J$ is a given nonnegative integer. Under suitable…
Finding zeros of the sum of two maximally monotone operators involving a continuous linear operator is a central problem in optimization and monotone operator theory. We revisit the duality framework proposed by Eckstein, Ferris, Pennanen,…
We propose a descent subgradient algorithm for unconstrained nonsmooth nonconvex multiobjective optimization problems. To find a descent direction, we present an iterative process that efficiently approximates the Goldstein subdifferential…
The iterative proportional fitting procedure, introduced in 1937 by Kruithof, aims to adjust the elements of an array to satisfy specified row and column sums. Given a rectangular non-negative matrix $X_0$ and two positive marginals $a$ and…
Bauschke and Moursi have recently obtained results that implicitly contain the fact that the composition of finitely many averaged mappings on a Hilbert space that have approximate fixed points also has approximate fixed points and thus is…
The affine connection in a space-time with a maximally symmetric spatial subspace is derived using the properties of maximally symmetric tensors. The number of degrees of freedom in metric-affine gravity is thereby considerably reduced…
The fundamental theorem of affine geometry is a classical and useful result. For finite-dimensional real vector spaces, the theorem roughly states that a bijective self-mapping which maps lines to lines is affine. In this note we prove…
We show that for any sequence $f: {\bf N} \to \{-1,+1\}$ taking values in $\{-1,+1\}$, the discrepancy $$ \sup_{n,d \in {\bf N}} \left|\sum_{j=1}^n f(jd)\right| $$ of $f$ is infinite. This answers a question of Erd\H{o}s. In fact the…
This note is devoted to a detail concerning the work of Albert Einstein and Peter Bergmann on unified theories of electromagnetism and gravitation in five dimensions. In their paper of 1938, Einstein and Bergmann were among the first to…
Based on Eddington affine variational principle on a locally product manifold, we derive the separate Einstein space described by its Ricci tensor. The derived field equations split into two field equations of motion that describe two…
Affine rotation surfaces are a generalization of the well-known surfaces of revolution. Affine rotation surfaces arise naturally within the framework of affine differential geometry, a field started by Blaschke in the first decades of the…
We develop a natural variant of Dikin's affine-scaling method, first for semidefinite programming and then for hyperbolic programming in general. We match the best complexity bounds known for interior-point methods. All previous…
This work is devoted to a systematic study of symplectic convexity for integrable Hamiltonian systems with elliptic and focus-focus singularities. A distinctive feature of these systems is that their base spaces are still smooth manifolds…
Smooth manifolds have been always understood intuitively as spaces with an affine geometry on the infinitesimal scale. In Synthetic Differential Geometry this can be made precise by showing that a smooth manifold carries a natural structure…
We introduce the concept of $b$-suprametric spaces and establish a fixed point result for mappings satisfying a nonlinear contraction in such spaces. The obtained result generalizes a fixed point theorem of Czerwik and a recent result of…
In this paper, we study {\it operator spaces\/} in the sense of the theory developed recently by Blecher-Paulsen [BP] and Effros-Ruan [ER1]. By an operator space, we mean a closed subspace $E\subset B(H)$, with $H$ Hilbert. We will be…
