This paper studies the minimal dimension required to embed subset memberships ($m$ elements and ${m\choose k}$ subsets of at most $k$ elements) into vector spaces, denoted as Minimal Embeddable Dimension (MED). The tight bounds of MED are…
In the literature, necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of variational inequalities are introduced to characterize minimizers of convex set valued functions with values in a conlinear space. Similar results are proved for a weaker…
We analyze constrained and unconstrained minimization problems on patches of tetrahedra sharing a common vertex with discontinuous piecewise polynomial data of degree p. We show that the discrete minimizers in the spaces of piecewise…
The Known Menger's theorem states that in a finite graph, the size of a minimum separator set of any pair of vertices is equal to the maximum number of disjoint paths that can be found between these two vertices. In this paper, we study the…
In this work we analyze some topological properties of the remainder $\partial M:=\beta_s^* M\setminus M$ of the semialgebraic Stone-C\v{e}ch compactification $\beta_s^* M$ of a semialgebraic set $M\subset{\mathbb R}^m$ in order to…
We consider cylindrical algebraic decompositions (CADs) as a tool for representing semi-algebraic subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. In this framework, a CAD $\mathscr{C}$ is adapted to a given set $S$ if $S$ is a union of cells of $\mathscr{C}$.…
If $G$ is a looped graph, then its adjacency matrix represents a binary matroid $M_{A}(G)$ on $V(G)$. $M_{A}(G)$ may be obtained from the delta-matroid represented by the adjacency matrix of $G$, but $M_{A}(G)$ is less sensitive to the…
Compatible discretizations, such as finite element exterior calculus, provide a discretization framework that respect the cohomological structure of the de Rham complex, which can be used to systematically construct stable mixed finite…
We partition in classes the set of matroids of fixed dimension on a fixed vertex set. In each class we identify two special matroids, respectively with minimal and maximal h-vector in that class. Such extremal matroids also satisfy a…
This paper shows that---under suitable conditions on a cone $C$---any element in the convex hull of a decomposably $C$-antichain-convex set $Y$ is $C$-Pareto dominated by some element of $Y$. Building on this, the paper proves the…
We study separation of a closed box from a max-min convex set by max-min semispace. This can be regarded as an interval extension of known separation results. We give a constructive proof of the separation in the case when the box and the…
Any solid object can be decomposed into a collection of convex polytopes (in short, convexes). When a small number of convexes are used, such a decomposition can be thought of as a piece-wise approximation of the geometry. This…
Monotone operators and (firmly) nonexpansive mappings are fundamental objects in modern analysis and computational optimization. Five years ago, it was shown that if finitely many firmly nonexpansive mappings have or "almost have" fixed…
Monotone trees - trees with a function defined on their vertices that decreases the further away from a root node one travels, are a natural model for a process that weakens the further one gets from its source. Given an aggregation of…
We introduce polyhedral cones associated with $m$-hemimetrics on $n$ points, and, in particular, with $m$-hemimetrics coming from partitions of an $n$-set into $m+1$ blocks. We compute generators and facets of the cones for small values of…
Given a model $\mathcal{M}$ of set theory, and a nontrivial automorphism $j$ of $\mathcal{M}$, let $\mathcal{I}_{\mathrm{fix}}(j)$ be the submodel of $\mathcal{M}$ whose universe consists of elements $m$ of $\mathcal{M}$ such that $j(x)=x$…
The split feasibility problem is to find an element in the intersection of a closed set $C$ and the linear preimage of another closed set $D$, assuming the projections onto $C$ and $D$ are easy to compute. This class of problems arises…
Making the gradients small is a fundamental optimization problem that has eluded unifying and simple convergence arguments in first-order optimization, so far primarily reserved for other convergence criteria, such as reducing the…
A non-empty subset $S$ of the vertices of a digraph $D$ is called a {\it safe set} if \begin{itemize} \item[(i)] for every strongly connected component $M$ of $D-S$, there exists a strongly connected component $N$ of $D[S]$ such that there…
We show that any $m\times m$ matrix $M$ with integer entries and $\det M =\Delta \neq 0$ can be equipped by a finite digit set $\mathcal{D}\subset\mathbb{Z}^m$ such that any integer $m$-dimensional vector belongs to the set $$ {\rm…
