Least-Norm Regularization For Weak Two-Level Optimization Problems
1992
In this paper, we consider a regularization for weak two-level optimization problems by adaptation of the method presented by Solohovic (1970). Existence and approximation results are given in the case in which the constraints to the lower level problems are described by a multifunction. Convergence results for the least-norm regularization under perturbations are also presented.
TOWARD A SOLUTION OF ALLOCATION IN LIFE CYCLE INVENTORIES: THE USE OF LEAST SQUARES TECHNIQUES
2010
Purpose: The matrix method for the solution of the so-called inventory problem in LCA generally determines the inventory vector related to a specific system of processes by solving a system of linear equations. The paper proposes a new approach to deal with systems characterized by a rectangular (and thus non-invertible) coefficients matrix. The approach, based on the application of regression techniques, allows solving the system without using computational expedients such as the allocation procedure. Methods: The regression techniques used in the paper are (besides the ordinary least squares, OLS) total least squares (TLS) and data least squares (DLS). In this paper, the authors present t…
Necessary conditions for extremality and separation theorems with applications to multiobjective optimization
1998
The aim of this paper is to give necessary conditions for extremality in terms of an abstract subdifferential and to obtain general separation theorems including both finite and infinite classical separation theorems. This approach, which is mainly based on Ekeland's variational principle and the concept of locally weak-star compact cones, can be considered as a generalization f the notions of optima in problems of scalar or vector optimization with and without constraints. The results obtained are applied to derive new necessary optimality conditions for Pareto local minimum and weak Pareto minimum of nonsmooth multlobjectivep rogramming problems.
ε-Regularized two-level optimization problems: Approximation and existence results
2006
The purpose of this work is to improve some results given in [12], relating to approximate solutions for two-level optimization problems. By considering an e-regularized problem, we get new properties, under convexity assumptions in the lower level problems. In particular, we prove existence results for the solutions to the e-regularized problem, whereas the initial two-level optimization problem may fail to have a solution. Finally, as an example, we consider an approximation method with interior penalty functions.
New Results on the Mixed General Routing Problem
2005
[EN] In this paper, we deal with the polyhedral description and the resolution of the Mixed General Routing Problem. This problem, in which the service activity occurs both at some of the nodes and at some of the arcs and edges of a mixed graph, contains a large number of important arc and node routing problems as special cases. Here, a large family of facet-defining inequalities, the Honeycomb inequalities, is described. Furthermore, a cutting-plane algorithm for this problem that incorporates new separation procedures for the K-C, Regular Path-Bridge, and Honeycomb inequalities is presented. Branch and bound is invoked when the final solution of the cutting-plane procedure is fractional. …
X-ray Tomography of One-forms with Partial Data
2021
If the integrals of a one-form over all lines meeting a small open set vanish and the form is closed in this set, then the one-form is exact in the whole Euclidean space. We obtain a unique continuation result for the normal operator of the X-ray transform of one-forms, and this leads to one of our two proofs of the partial data result. Our proofs apply to compactly supported covector-valued distributions.
On Radon Transforms on Tori
2014
We show injectivity of the X-ray transform and the $d$-plane Radon transform for distributions on the $n$-torus, lowering the regularity assumption in the recent work by Abouelaz and Rouvi\`ere. We also show solenoidal injectivity of the X-ray transform on the $n$-torus for tensor fields of any order, allowing the tensors to have distribution valued coefficients. These imply new injectivity results for the periodic broken ray transform on cubes of any dimension.
Harnack estimates for degenerate parabolic equations modeled on the subelliptic $p-$Laplacian
2014
Abstract We establish a Harnack inequality for a class of quasi-linear PDE modeled on the prototype ∂ t u = − ∑ i = 1 m X i ⁎ ( | X u | p − 2 X i u ) where p ⩾ 2 , X = ( X 1 , … , X m ) is a system of Lipschitz vector fields defined on a smooth manifold M endowed with a Borel measure μ, and X i ⁎ denotes the adjoint of X i with respect to μ. Our estimates are derived assuming that (i) the control distance d generated by X induces the same topology on M ; (ii) a doubling condition for the μ-measure of d-metric balls; and (iii) the validity of a Poincare inequality involving X and μ. Our results extend the recent work in [16] , [36] , to a more general setting including the model cases of (1)…
Tensor tomography on Cartan–Hadamard manifolds
2017
We study the geodesic X-ray transform on Cartan-Hadamard manifolds, and prove solenoidal injectivity of this transform acting on functions and tensor fields of any order. The functions are assumed to be exponentially decaying if the sectional curvature is bounded, and polynomially decaying if the sectional curvature decays at infinity. This work extends the results of Lehtonen (2016) to dimensions $n \geq 3$ and to the case of tensor fields of any order.
Pseudodifferential operators on manifolds with a Lie structure at infinity
2003
to appear in Anal. Math.; Several examples of non-compact manifolds $M_0$ whose geometry at infinity is described by Lie algebras of vector fields $V \subset \Gamma(TM)$ (on a compactification of $M_0$ to a manifold with corners $M$) were studied by Melrose and his collaborators. In math.DG/0201202 and math.OA/0211305, the geometry of manifolds described by Lie algebras of vector fields -- baptised "manifolds with a Lie structure at infinity" there -- was studied from an axiomatic point of view. In this paper, we define and study the algebra $\Psi_{1,0,\VV}^\infty(M_0)$, which is an algebra of pseudodifferential operators canonically associated to a manifold $M_0$ with the Lie structure at …
