A New Characterization of M^-convex Set Functions by Substitutability
The concepts of M-convex functions and M^-convex functions play central roles in the theory of discrete convex analysis which has been applied to mathematical economics. On the other hand, substitutability, which is a key property guaranteeing the existence of a stable matching in generalized stable marriage models, is known as a nice property in mathematical economics. In this paper, we introd...
متن کاملBernstein's polynomials for convex functions and related results
In this paper we establish several polynomials similar to Bernstein's polynomials and several refinements of Hermite-Hadamard inequality for convex functions.
متن کاملNon-homogeneous continuous and discrete gradient systems: the quasi-convex case
In this paper, first we study the weak and strong convergence of solutions to the following first order nonhomogeneous gradient system $$begin{cases}-x'(t)=nablaphi(x(t))+f(t), text{a.e. on} (0,infty)\x(0)=x_0in Hend{cases}$$ to a critical point of $phi$, where $phi$ is a $C^1$ quasi-convex function on a real Hilbert space $H$ with ${rm Argmin}phineqvarnothing$ and $fin L^1(0...
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 کاملA Defined Benefit Pension Fund ALM Model through Multistage Stochastic Programming
We consider an asset-liability management (ALM) problem for a defined benefit pension fund (PF). The PF manager is assumed to follow a maximal fund valuation problem facing an extended set of risk factors: due to the longevity of the PF members, the inflation affecting salaries in real terms and future incomes, interest rates and market factors affecting jointly the PF liability and asset p...
