We introduce a new g-frame (singleton g-frame), g-orthonormal basis and g-Riesz basis and study corresponding notions in some other generalizations of frames.Also, we investigate duality  for some kinds of g-frames. Finally, we illustrate an example which provides a  suitable translation from discrete frames to Sun's g-frames.

In the previous lecture, in the first place, we talked about duality for general non-convex optimization. And we know that dual functions are always convex. The dual of the dual problem is also convex. In applications, the dual of the dual can be used as the convex relaxation of the primal (and we will see this explicitly in the next lecture). Then, we covered the concepts of weak duality and s...

In mathematical programming, constraint qualifications are essential elements for duality theory. Recently, necessary and sufficient constraint qualifications for Lagrange duality results have been investigated. Also, surrogate duality enables one to replace the problem by a simpler one in which the constraint function is a scalar one. However, as far as we know, a necessary and sufficient cons...

$Rsb{0}$-algebras, which were proved to be equivalent to Esteva and Godo's NM-algebras modelled by Fodor's nilpotent minimum t-norm, are the equivalent algebraic semantics of the left-continuous t-norm based fuzzy logic firstly introduced by Guo-jun Wang in the mid 1990s.In this paper, we first establish a Stone duality for the category of MV-skeletons of $Rsb{0}$-algebras and the category of t...

We describe a relation between Arnold’s strange duality and a polar duality between the Newton polytopes which is mostly due to M. Kobayashi. We show that this relation continues to hold for the extension of Arnold’s strange duality found by C. T. C. Wall and the author. By a method of Ehlers-Varchenko, the characteristic polynomial of the monodromy of a hypersurface singularity can be computed...

Agency conflicts can arise when a fund manager also chairs the board of the fund. We examine the consequences of this fund manager duality using a broad sample of single managed US equity funds. We find that duality managers significantly underperform non-duality managers. This underperformance results from duality funds in the bottom performance quintile. This suggests that duality managers ca...
