A quasi-linear algorithm for calculating the infimal convolution of convex quadratic functions
In this paper we present an algorithm of quasi-linear complexity for exactly calculating the infimal convolution of convex quadratic functions. The algorithm exactly and simultaneously solves a separable uniparametric family of quadratic programming problems resulting from varying the equality constraint.
متن کاملOn the quadratic support of strongly convex functions
In this paper, we first introduce the notion of $c$-affine functions for $c> 0$. Then we deal with some properties of strongly convex functions in real inner product spaces by using a quadratic support function at each point which is $c$-affine. Moreover, a Hyers–-Ulam stability result for strongly convex functions is shown.
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS On Infimal Convolution of M-Convex Functions
The infimal convolution of M-convex functions is M-convex. This is a fundamental fact in discrete convex analysis that is often useful in its application to mathematical economics and game theory. M-convexity and its variant called M-convexity are closely related to gross substitutability, and the infimal convolution operation corresponds to an aggregation. This note provides a succinct descrip...
متن کاملComputing the conjugate of convex piecewise linear-quadratic bivariate functions
We present a new algorithm to compute the Legendre–Fenchel conjugate of convex piecewise linear-quadratic (PLQ) bivariate functions. The algorithm stores a function using a (primal) planar arrangement. It then computes the (dual) arrangement associated with the conjugate by looping through vertices, edges, and faces in the primal arrangement and building associated dual vertices, edges, and fac...
متن کاملOn Computing the Nested Sums and Infimal Convolutions of Convex Piecewise-Linear Functions
We consider the problem of evaluating a functional expression comprising the nested sums and infimal convolutions of convex piecewise-linear functions defined on the reals. For the special case where the nesting is serial, we give an O(NlogN) time algorithm, where N is the total nunber of breakpoints of the functions. We also prove a lower bound of fl(N log N) on the number of comparisons neede...
