Semi-continuity and weak-continuity

Weak semi-continuity of the duality product in Sobolev spaces

Given a weakly convergent sequence of positive functions in W 1,p 0 (Ω), we prove the equivalence between its convergence in the sense of obstacles and the lower semicontinuity of the term by term duality product associated to (the p-Laplacian of) weakly convergent sequences of p-superharmonic functions of W 1,p 0 (Ω). This result implicitly gives new characterizations for both the convergence ...

Weak continuity with structural constraints

Nonlinear regression and nonlinear regularization are two powerful approaches to segmentation and nonlinear filtering. In this correspondence, we propose a hybrid approach that effectively combines the best of both worlds and can be efficiently implemented via the Viterbi algorithm.

Markovian Bridges: Weak continuity and pathwise constructions

A Markovian bridge is a probability measure taken from a disintegration of the law of an initial part of the path of a Markov process given its terminal value. As such, Markovian bridges admit a natural parameterization in terms of the state space of the process. In the context of Feller processes with continuous transition densities, we construct by weak convergence considerations the only ver...

Weak Forms of Continuity and Associated Properties

Preinvexity and Semi-Continuity of Fuzzy Mappings

In this paper, the relationships between semicontinuity and preinvexity of fuzzy mappings are investigated. The concepts of intermediate-point preinvex fuzzy mappings and weakly preinvex fuzzy mappings are first introduced, and the authors establish a characterization for a weakly preinvex fuzzy mapping in terms of its epigraph. In this context, a characterization of a preinvex fuzzy mapping in...
