It is well known that under the Wolfe–Powell inexact line search, global convergence of nonlinear conjugate gradient method always requires Lipschitz continuous condition for nonconvex functions. In this paper, we find unnecessary proving particular algorithms if its searching direction has well-known sufficient descent property and trust region feature. Thus, family proposed by Yuan et al. (Nu...

In this paper, we study inhomogeneous Dirichlet problems for elliptic equations in divergence form. Optimal regularity requirements on the coefficients and domains for the W 1,p (1 < p < ∞) estimates are obtained. The principal coefficients are supposed to be in the John-Nirenberg space with small BMO semi-norms. The domain is supposed to have Lipschitz boundary with small Lipschitz constant. T...

In many practical decision-making problems it happens that functions involved in optimization process are black-box with unknown analytical representations and hard to evaluate. In this paper, a global optimization problem is considered where both the goal function f(x) and its gradient f (x) are black-box functions. It is supposed that f (x) satisfies the Lipschitz condition over the search hy...

This article proposes a new approximation scheme for quadratic-growth BSDEs in a Markovian setting by connecting a series of semi-analytic asymptotic expansions applied to short-time intervals. Although there remains a condition which needs to be checked a posteriori, one can avoid altogether time-consuming Monte Carlo simulation and other numerical integrations for estimating conditional expec...

This paper presents a design of dynamic feedback control based on observer for a class of large scale Lipschitz nonlinear systems. The use of Differential Mean Value Theorem (DMVT) is to introduce a general condition on the nonlinear functions. To ensure asymptotic stability, sufficient conditions are expressed in terms of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). High performances are shown through r...

We present an operator space version of Rieffel’s theorem on the agreement of the metric topology, on a subset of the Banach space dual of a normed space, from a seminorm with the weak*-topology. As an application we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the matrix metric from an unbounded Fredholm module to give the BW-topology on the matrix state space of the C-algebra. Motivated by...
