In this article we develop a duality principle suitable for a large class of problems in optimization. The main result is obtained through basic tools of convex analysis and duality theory. We establish a correct relation between the…

We present a new duality theory for non-convex variational problems, under possibly mixed Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions. The dual problem reads nicely as a linear programming problem, and our main result states that there is no…

This article develops a duality principle for a class of optimization problems in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The results are obtained based on standard tools of convex analysis and on a well known result of Toland for D.C. optimization. Global…

This article develops a duality principle applicable to a large class of variational problems. Firstly, we apply the results to a Ginzburg-Landau type model. In a second step, we develop another duality principle and related primal dual…

The aim of this paper is to implement some new techniques, based on conjugate duality in convex optimization, for proving the existence of global error bounds for convex inequality systems. We deal first of all with systems described via…

In this paper, we investigate the polyhedral structure of two submodular sets with generalized upper bound (GUB) constraints, which arise as important substructures in various real-world applications. We derive a class of strong valid…

We examine the duality theory for a class of non-convex functions obtained by composing a convex function with a continuous one. Using Fenchel duality, we derive a dual problem that satisfies weak duality under general assumptions. To…

We investigate the convergence of the primal-dual algorithm for composite optimization problems when the objective functions are weakly convex. We introduce a modified duality gap function, which is a lower bound of the standard duality gap…

We study conjugate and Lagrange dualities for composite optimization problems within the framework of abstract convexity. We provide conditions for zero duality gap in conjugate duality. For Lagrange duality, intersection property is…

While intersections of convex sets are convex, their unions have rather complicated behavior. Some natural contexts where they appear include duality arguments involving boundaries of convex sets and valuations, which have an Euler…

Let T be the unit circle in the complex plane C. This paper proves the existence of analytic structure in a compact subset K of T X C^n, where K has so-called "lineally convex" or "hypoconvex" fibers over T. It also addresses a related…

In this paper we explore the role of duality principles within the problem of rotation averaging, a fundamental task in a wide range of computer vision applications. In its conventional form, rotation averaging is stated as a minimization…

Duality of curves is one of the important aspects of the ``classical'' algebraic geometry. In this paper, using this foundation, the duality of tropical polynomials is constructed to introduce the duality of Non-Archimedean curves. Using…

We present a general technique for the analysis of first-order methods. The technique relies on the construction of a duality gap for an appropriate approximation of the objective function, where the function approximation improves as the…

This paper addresses the study and applications of polyhedral duality of locally convex topological vector (LCTV) spaces. We first revisit the classical Rockafellar's proper separation theorem for two convex sets one which is polyhedral and…

The paper deals with the optimal control problem described by second order evolution differential inclusions; to this end first we use an auxiliary problem with second order discrete and discrete-approximate inclusions. Then applying…

We develop a methodology for closing duality gap and guaranteeing strong duality in infinite convex optimization. Specifically, we examine two new Lagrangian-type dual formulations involving infinitely many dual variables and infinite sums…

In this paper, we provide a simple proof of a generalization of the Gauss-Lucas theorem. By using methods of D-companion matrix, we get the majorization relationship between the zeros of convex combinations of incomplete polynomials and an…

In optimization the duality gap between the primal and the dual problems is a measure of the suboptimality of any primal-dual point. In classical mechanics the equations of motion of a system can be derived from the Hamiltonian function,…

A key idea in convex optimization theory is to use well-structured affine functions to approximate general functions, leading to impactful developments in conjugate functions and convex duality theory. This raises the question: what are the…
