Many algorithms in convex optimization and variational analysis can be analyzed using Fej\'er monotone sequences. In 2024, Behling, Bello-Cruz, Iusem, Alves Ribeiro, and Santos introduced a new, more general, notion: Fej\'er* monotonicity.…

The Levy-Steinitz theorem characterizes the values that a conditionally convergent sequence in of real numbers can attain under permutations. We extend this analysis to sequences of countable sequences of real numbers, under pointwise…

A class of subsets designated as very thin subsets of natural numbers has been studied and seen that theory of convergence may be rediscovered if very thin sets are given to play main role instead of thin or finite sets which removes some…

Number games play a central role in alternating normal play combinatorial game theory due to their real-number-like properties (Conway 1976). Here we undertake a critical re-examination: we begin with integer and dyadic games and identify…

We present a form convergence theorem for sequences of sectorial forms and their associated semigroups in a complex Hilbert space. Roughly speaking, the approximating forms $a_n$ are all `bounded below' by the limiting form $a$, but in…

Divergences are quantities that measure discrepancy between two probability distributions and play an important role in various fields such as statistics and machine learning. Divergences are non-negative and are equal to zero if and only…

The mechanism underlying the divergence of perturbation theory is exposed. This is done through a detailed study of the violation of the hypothesis of the Dominated Convergence Theorem of Lebesgue using familiar techniques of Quantum Field…

We study convergence rates of random-order best-response dynamics in games on networks with linear best responses and strategic substitutes. Combining formal analysis with numerical simulations we identify phenomena that lead to slow…

Fej\'er monotonicity is a well-established property often observed in sequences generated by optimization algorithms. In this paper, we study an extension of this property, called Fej\'er* monotonicity, which was initially proposed in [SIAM…
