A note on M-convex functions on jump systems

نویسندگان

چکیده

A jump system is defined as a set of integer points (vectors) with certain exchange property, generalizing the concepts matroids, delta-matroids, and base polyhedra integral polymatroids (or submodular systems). discrete convexity concept for functions on constant-parity systems it has been used in graph theory algebra. In this paper we call “jump M-convexity” extend to M♮-convexity” larger class systems. By definition, every M-convex function M♮-convex function, show equivalence these by establishing an (injective) embedding n variables into n+1 variables. Using further that admit number natural operations such aggregation, projection (partial minimization), convolution, composition, transformation network.

Operations on M-Convex Functions on Jump Systems

A jump system is a set of integer points with an exchange property, which is a generalization of a matroid, a delta-matroid, and a base polyhedron of an integral polymatroid (or a submodular system). Recently, the concept of M-convex functions on constant-parity jump systems is introduced by Murota as a class of discrete convex functions that admit a local criterion for global minimality. M-con...

A Note on Convex Functions

In this paper, we give twoweak conditions for a lower semi-continuous function on the n-dimensional Euclidean space Rn to be a convex function. We also present some results for convex functions, strictly convex functions, and quasi-convex functions.

A Steepest Descent Algorithm for M-Convex Functions on Jump Systems

The concept of M-convex functions has recently been generalized for functions defined on constant-parity jump systems. The b-matching problem and its generalization provide canonical examples of M-convex functions on jump systems. In this paper, we propose a steepest descent algorithm for minimizing M-convex functions on constant-parity jump systems.

A note on Alexsandrov type theorem for k-convex functions

A classical result of Alexsandrov [1] asserts that convex functions in R are twice differentiable a.e., (see also [3], [8] for more modern treatments). It is well known that Sobolev functions u ∈ W , for p > n/2 are twice differentiable a.e.. The following weaker notion of convexity known as k-convexity was introduced by Trudinger and Wang [12, 13]. Let Ω ⊂ R be an open set and C(Ω) be the clas...
