The problem of pattern selection arises when the evolution equations have many solutions, whereas observed patterns constitute a much more restricted set. An approach is advanced for treating the problem of pattern selection by defining the…
We propose a new approach to study the existence and non-existence of maximizers for the variational problems associated with Sobolev type inequalities both in the subcritical case and critical case under the equivalent constraints. The…
This article investigates the phenomenon of maximal rigidity in spatial processes, where perfect interpolation of the process is possible from partial information, specifically, from its restriction to a strict subdomain, often resulting in…
Let $L$ be a set of $n$ lines in the plane, not necessarily in general position. We present an efficient algorithm for finding all the vertices of the arrangement $A(L)$ of maximum level, where the level of a vertex $v$ is the number of…
This paper is devoted to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions of a one parameter family of nonlinear fractional differential equation with mixed boundary value conditions. Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative is considered. An…
Stable matchings have been studied extensively in social choice literature. The focus has been mostly on integral matchings, in which the nodes on the two sides are wholly matched. A fractional matching, which is a convex combination of…
In this paper we focus our efforts on studying how a preorder and topology can be made compatible. Thus we provide a characterization of those that are continuous-compatible. Such a characterization states that such topologies must be finer…
In this paper we study a system of variational inequalities where the operator is non-local, possibly degenerate and of second order. A special case of this type of problem occurs in the context of optimal switching problems when the…
This article discusses some difficulties in the implementation of combinatorial algorithms associated with the choice of all elements with certain properties among the elements of a set with great cardinality.The problem has been resolved…
The paper explores the differential inclusion of a special form. It is supposed that the support function of the set in the right-hand side of an inclusion may contain the maximum of the finite number of continuously differentiable (in…
This article makes no claim to originality, other than, perhaps, the simple statement here called the {\it Abstract Maximum Principle}. Actually, the whole contents are strongly based on some H. Sussmann's and coauthors' papers, in which,…
In this paper, we consider interval-valued vector optimization problems $(IVOP)$ and derive their relationships to interval vector variational inequalities $(IVVI)$ of Minty and Stampacchia type in terms of convexificators and LU-efficient…
We present and analyze a new finite element method for solving interface problems on a triangular grid. The method locally modifies a given triangulation such that the interfaces are accurately resolved and the maximal angle condition…
Metastability is a formidable challenge to Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. In this paper we present methods for algorithm design to meet this challenge. The design problem we consider is temperature selection for the infinite swapping…
This paper examines a variety of classical optimization problems, including well-known minimization tasks and more general variational inequalities. We consider a stochastic formulation of these problems, and unlike most previous work, we…
Consider a rectangular matrix describing some type of communication or transportation between a set of origins and a set of destinations, or a classification of objects by two attributes. The problem is to infer the entries of the matrix…
We present an algorithm based on continuation techniques that can be applied to solve numerically minimization problems with equality constraints. We focus on problems with a great number of local minima which are hard to obtain by local…
The binary relation framework has been shown to be applicable to many real-life preference handling scenarios. Here we study preference contraction: the problem of discarding selected preferences. We argue that the property of minimality…
In this paper, we derive sufficient and necessary maximum principles for a stochastic optimal control problem where the system state is given by a controlled stochastic differential equation with default. We prove existence of a unique…
We study the existence of maximizers for a one-parameter family of Strichartz inequalities on the torus. In general maximizing sequences can fail to be precompact in $L^2(\mathbb T)$, and maximizers can fail to exist. We provide a…
