We analyze the rate of local convergence of the augmented Lagrangian method for nonlinear semidefinite optimization. The presence of the positive semidefinite cone constraint requ...
Path coupling is a useful technique for simplifying the analysis of a coupling of a Markov chain. Rather than defining and analysing the coupling on every pair in Ω×Ω, where...
Abstract. We study conditions on the matrix mask of a vector subdivision scheme ensuring that certain polynomial input vectors yield polynomial output again. The conditions are in ...
Let In() denote the number of involutions in the symmetric group Sn which avoid the permutation . We say that two permutations , Sj may be exchanged if for every n, k, and order...
In this paper, the global optimization problem with an objective function that is multiextremal that satisfies the Lipschitz condition over a hypercube is considered. An algorithm...
