Summability methods for ultraholomorphic classes in sectors, defined in terms of a strongly regular sequence $\mathbb{M}=(M_p)_{p\in\mathbb{N}_0}$, have been put forward by A. Lastra, S. Malek and the second author [1], and their validity…
In this manuscript, we propose a general proximal quasi-Newton method tailored for nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization problems, where we do not require the sequence of the variable metric (or Hessian approximation) to be uniformly bounded…
We describe an algorithm that takes as input a complex sequence $(u_n)$ given by a linear recurrence relation with polynomial coefficients along with initial values, and outputs a simple explicit upper bound $(v_n)$ such that $|u_n| \leq…
We consider the set of finite sequences of length n over a finite or countable alphabet C. We consider the function which associate each given sequence with the size of the maximum overlap with a (shifted) copy of itself. We compute the…
Abstract convexity generalises classical convexity by considering the suprema of functions taken from an arbitrarily defined set of functions. These are called the abstract linear (abstract affine) functions. The purpose of this paper is to…
In this paper we analyze several new methods for solving nonconvex optimization problems with the objective function formed as a sum of two terms: one is nonconvex and smooth, and another is convex but simple and its structure is known.…
A set of reals $A=\{a_1,...,a_n\}$ labeled in increasing order is called convex if there exists a continuous strictly convex function $f$ such that $f(i)=a_i$ for every $i$. Given a convex set $A$, we prove…
Absolute continuity implies uniform continuity, but generally not vice versa. In this short note, we present one sufficient condition for a uniformly continuous function to be absolutely continuous, which is the following theorem: For a…
We define a sequence of positive integers recursively, where each term is determined as follows: starting with a given positive integer, if the term is odd, the next is the sum of its positive divisors; if the term is even, the subsequent…
A (d-parameter) basic nilsequence is a sequence of the form \psi(n)=f(a^{n}x), n \in Z^{d}, where x is a point of a compact nilmanifold X, a is a translation on X, and f is a continuous function on X; a nilsequence is a uniform limit of…
We study homogenization it its most basic form $$-\left(a\left(\frac{x}{\varepsilon}\right) u_{\varepsilon}'(x)\right)' = f(x) \quad \mbox{for} ~x \in (0,1),$$ where $a(\cdot)$ is a positive $1-$periodic continuous function, $f$ is smooth…
We study non-stationary averaging processes, where each term of a sequence is a weighted average of previous terms, namely $a_{n+1} = \sum_{j=1}^n p_n(j) a_j$. Our results extend classical theory in two distinct regimes. First, we prove a…
For a weight-set $A\subseteq \mathbb Z_n$, the $A$-weighted zero-sum constant $C_A(n)$ is defined to be the smallest natural number $k$, such that any sequence of $k$ elements in $\mathbb Z_n$ has an $A$-weighted zero-sum subsequence of…
A sequence of points $z_k$ in the unit disk is said to be thin for a given decrease function $\rho$, if there is a nontrivial bounded holomorphic function such that the infinite series $\sum_k \rho(1-|z_k|)|f(z_k)|$ converges. All sequences…
For a function defined on a convex set in a Euclidean space, midpoint convexity is the property requiring that the value of the function at the midpoint of any line segment is not greater than the average of its values at the endpoints of…
This paper presents a convex sufficient condition for solving a system of nonlinear equations under parametric changes and proposes a sequential convex optimization method for solving robust optimization problems with nonlinear equality…
A review of the state of the art of the comparison between any two different modes of convergence of sequences of measurable functions is carried out with focus on the algebraic structure of the families under analysis. As a complement of…
In this paper we apply ideas from the theory of Uniform Distribution of sequences to Functional Analysis and then drawing inspiration from the consequent results, we study concepts and results in Uniform Distribution itself. So let $E$ be a…
The present paper is devoted to a theory of profile decomposition for bounded sequences in \emph{homogeneous} Sobolev spaces, and it enables us to analyze the lack of compactness of bounded sequences. For every bounded sequence in…
Let $[n]=\{1, \ldots, n\}$. A sequence $u=a_1a_2\dots a_l$ over $[n]$ is called $k$-sparse if $a_i = a_j$, $i > j$ implies $i-j\geq k$. In other words, every consecutive subsequence of $u$ of length at most $k$ does not have letters in…
