Let $f$ and $g$ be both continuous functions on $\left( 0,\infty \right) $ with $g\left( t\right) >0$ for $t\in \left( 0,\infty \right) $ and let $ F\left( x\right) =\mathcal{L}\left( f\right) $, $G\left( x\right) =\mathcal{L }\left(…

In stochastic optimization, particularly in evolutionary computation and reinforcement learning, the optimization of a function $f: \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ is often addressed through optimizing a so-called relaxation $\theta \in \Theta…

In this paper, we investigate the monotonicity of the functions $t \mapsto \frac{\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k w_k(t)}{\sum_{k=0}^\infty b_k w_k(t)}$ and $x \mapsto \frac{\int_\alpha^\beta f(t) w(t,x) \textrm{d} t}{\int_\alpha^\beta g(t) w(t,x)…

It is well known that increasing functions do not preserve operator order in general; nor do decreasing functions reverse operator order. However, operator monotone increasing or operator monotone decreasing do. In this article, we employ a…

We analyze the convergence behavior of \emph{globally weakly} and \emph{locally strongly contracting} dynamics. Such dynamics naturally arise in the context of convex optimization problems with a unique minimizer. We show that convergence…

The Lebesgue property (order-continuity) of a monotone convex function on a solid vector space of measurable functions is characterized in terms of (1) the weak inf-compactness of the conjugate function on the order-continuous dual space,…

The concentration of measure phenomenon in Gauss' space states that every $L$-Lipschitz map $f$ on $\mathbb R^n$ satisfies \[ \gamma_{n} \left(\{ x : | f(x) - M_{f} | \geqslant t \} \right) \leqslant 2 e^{ - \frac{t^2}{ 2L^2} }, \quad t>0,…

We prove the (generalized) principal pivot transform is matrix monotone, in the sense of the L\"owner ordering, under minimal hypotheses. This improves on the recent results of J. E. Pascoe and R. Tully-Doyle, Monotonicity of the principal…
