We extend well-known comparative results under expected utility to models of non-expected utility by providing novel conditions on local utility functions. We illustrate how our results parallel, and are distinct from, existing results for…

We leverage best response dynamics to solve monotone variational inequalities on compact and convex sets. Specialization of the method to variational inequalities in game theory recovers convergence results to Nash equilibria when agents…
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…
Much of the progress in the gravitational self-force problem has involved the use of singular perturbation techniques. Yet the formalism underlying these techniques is not widely known. I remedy this situation by explicating the foundations…
We present a class of numerical schemes for two-dimensional systems of nonlocal conservation laws, which are based on utilizing well-known monotone numerical flux functions after suitably approximating the nonlocal terms. The considered…
We obtain sharp bounds for the monotonic rearrangement operator from "dyadic-type" classes to "continuous". In particular, for the $\mathrm{BMO}$ space and Muckenhoupt classes. The idea is to connect the problem with a simple geometric…
We propose an extended forward-backward algorithm for approximating a zero of a maximal monotone operator which can be split as the extended sum of two maximal monotone operators. We establish the weak convergence in average of the sequence…
A new pattern search method for bound constrained optimization is introduced. The proposed algorithm employs the coordinate directions, in a suitable way, with a nonmonotone line search for accepting the new iterate, without using…
In this note we develop a framework which allows to prove an existence result for non-linear evolution problems involving time-dependent, pseudo-monotone operators. This abstract existence result is applicable to a large class of concrete…
We provide a novel transcription of monotone operator theory to the non-Euclidean finite-dimensional spaces $\ell_1$ and $\ell_{\infty}$. We first establish properties of mappings which are monotone with respect to the non-Euclidean norms…
The epsilon-enlargement of a maximal monotone operator is a construct similar to the Br{\o}ndsted and Rocakfellar epsilon-subdifferential enlargement of the subdifferential. Like the epsilon-subdifferential, the epsilon-enlargement of a…
In this paper, we study the non-singular extension problem of horizontal stable fold maps. This problem asks what conditions ensure the existence of a submersion whose restriction to the boundary coincides with a given map, called a…

Nonsmooth nonconvex optimization problems involving the $\ell^p$ quasi-norm, $p \in (0, 1]$, of a linear map are considered. A monotonically convergent scheme for a regularized version of the original problem is developed and necessary…
