On nonlinear programming and matrix game equivalence

On Equivalence of Semidefinite Relaxations for Quadratic Matrix Programming

We analyze two popular semidefinite programming relaxations for quadratically constrained quadratic programs with matrix variables. These relaxations are based on vector lifting and on matrix lifting; they are of different size and expense. We prove, under mild assumptions, that these two relaxations provide equivalent bounds. Thus, our results provide a theoretical guideline for how to choose ...

Game Transformations and Game Equivalence

In 1952, Thompson deened four transformations on extensive games, and proved that they leave the reduced normal form intact (a so{ called \adequacy" theorem). Kohlberg&Mertens, in 1986, proposed two additional game transformations. In this paper, I will state and prove adequacy results for all six transformations in a uniform manner. Then, a number of well{known solution concepts will be survey...

On Nonlinear Preservers of Weak Matrix Majorization

On nonlinear equivalence and backstepping observer

An observer design based on backstepping approach for a class of state affine systems is proposed. This class of nonlinear systems is determined via a constructive algorithm applied to a general nonlinear Multi Input-Multi Output systems. Some examples are given in order to illustrate the proposed methodology.

global results on some nonlinear partial differential equations for direct and inverse problems

در این رساله به بررسی رفتار جواب های رده ای از معادلات دیفرانسیل با مشتقات جزیی در دامنه های کراندار می پردازیم . این معادلات به فرم نیم-خطی و غیر خطی برای مسایل مستقیم و معکوس مورد مطالعه قرار می گیرند . به ویژه، تاثیر شرایط مختلف فیزیکی را در مساله، نظیر وجود موانع و منابع، پراکندگی و چسبندگی در معادلات موج و گرما بررسی می کنیم و به دنبال شرایطی می گردیم که متضمن وجود سراسری یا عدم وجود سراسر...
