One of the most important optimality conditions to aid to solve a vector optimization problem is the first-order necessary optimality condition that generalizes the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker condition. However, to obtain the sufficient optimality…

We derive the optimal second-order coding region and moderate deviations constant for successive refinement source coding with a joint excess-distortion probability constraint. We consider two scenarios: (i) a discrete memoryless source…

We introduce a semi-explicit time-stepping scheme of second order for linear poroelasticity satisfying a weak coupling condition. Here, semi-explicit means that the system, which needs to be solved in each step, decouples and hence improves…
