We consider a classical problem of linear stability of convective rolls in a plane layer with stress-free horizontal boundaries near the onset of convection. The problem has been studied by a number of authors, who have shown that rolls of…

[Original abstract (1992):] The modulus of quasipositivity q(K) of a knot K was introduced as a tool in the knot theory of complex plane curves, and can be applied to Legendrian knot theory in symplectic topology. It has also, however, a…

In this paper, we develop an algebraic K-stability theory (e.g. special test configuration theory and optimal destabilization theory) for log Fano $\mathbb R$-pairs, and construct a proper K-moduli space to parametrize K-polystable log Fano…

A new model for Korteweg and de-Vries equation (KdV) is derived. The system under study is an open channel consisting of two concentric cylinders, rotating about their vertical axis, which is tilted by slope {\tau} from the inertial…

We show that normalized Schur polynomials are strongly log-concave. As a consequence, we obtain Okounkov's log-concavity conjecture for Littlewood-Richardson coefficients in the special case of Kostka numbers.

We introduce a notion of $F$-concavity which largely generalizes the usual concavity. By the use of the notions of closedness under positive scalar multiplication and closedness under positive exponentiation we characterize power concavity…

In this paper, we mainly study the stability of iterated polynomials and linear transformations preserving the strong $q$-log-convexity of polynomials Let $[T_{n,k}]_{n,k\geq0}$ be an array of nonnegative numbers. We give some criteria for…

We review several (and provide new) results on the theory of moments, sums of squares and basic semi-algebraic sets when convexity is present. In particular, we show that under convexity, the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for…

This work concerns the local convergence theory of Newton and quasi-Newton methods for convex-composite optimization: minimize f(x):=h(c(x)), where h is an infinite-valued proper convex function and c is C^2-smooth. We focus on the case…

Hyperbolic polynomials elegantly encode a rich class of convex cones that includes polyhedral and spectrahedral cones. Hyperbolic polynomials are closed under taking polars and the corresponding cones, the derivative cones, yield…

It is shown that $SL(n,R)$ KdV hierarchy can be expressed as definite nonpolynomials in Kac Moody currents and their derivatives by the action of Borel subgroup of $SL(n,R)$ on the phase space of centrally extended $sl(n,R)$ Kac Moody…

A successful computational approach for solving large-scale positive semidefinite (PSD) programs is to enforce PSD-ness on only a collection of submatrices. For our study, we let $\mathcal{S}^{n,k}$ be the convex cone of $n\times n$…

A convex-polynomial is a convex combination of the monomials $\{1, x, x^2, \ldots\}$. This paper establishes that the convex-polynomials on $\mathbb R$ are dense in $L^p(\mu)$ and weak$^*$ dense in $L^\infty(\mu)$, precisely when…

A result of P\'olya states that every sequence of quadrature formulas $Q_n(f)$ with $n$ nodes and positive numbers converges to the integral $I(f)$ of a continuous function $f$ provided $Q_n(f)=I(f)$ for a space of algebraic polynomials of…
