We analyze convergence properties of the Modiied Barrier Function Method (MBFM), which operates like the usual Augmented Lagrangian method, except that it uses a shifted logarithmic barrier function in place of the usual quadratic penalty function. The MBFM avoids some of the drawbacks of classical barrier methods. The convergence of the MBFM had previously been established under strict regular...

The complexity of a lattice polynomial is defined inductively, with variables having complexity 0. If p=plv'"vOk or p=plA'''/XOk is the canonical expression of the polynomial O, then the complexity c(p) = l+max{c(p~):l<-i-k}. An n-k lattice inclusion is an inclusion of the form p <-o-with c(p)<-n and c(o-)-k. In this note we use the main result of Day [1] to show that if all the congruence latt...

We have applied the method of integration of the Heisenberg equation of motion proposed by Bender and Dunne, and M. Kamella and M. Razavy to the potential V(q) = v q - µ q with linear and nonlinear dissipation. We concentrate our calculations on the evolution of basis set of Weyl Ordered Operators and calculate the mean position , velocity , the commutation relation [q, p], and the energ...

we show that the category of convergence approach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of latticevalued limit spaces. further we study the preservation of diagonal conditions, which characterize approach spaces. it is shown that the category of preapproach spaces is a simultaneously reective and coreective subcategory of the category of lattice-valued p...

In [1], Agarwal & Andrews studied partitions with "a copies of a," and in [2], Agarwal & Mullen studied partitions with "d(a) copies of a" (where d is the divisor function). In this note, partitions with "M(a) copies of a" are considered; the maximum exponent function, M, is defined by M(a) = max(e l5. .. , e T) if the integer a > 1 has canonical prime-power form a = p^ 1 ... p &r , and Af(l) =...

Influenced by Higham, Mao and Stuart [9], several numerical methods have been developed to study the strong convergence of the numerical solutions to stochastic differential equations (SDEs) under the local Lipschitz condition. These numerical methods include the tamed Euler–Maruyama (EM) method, the tamed Milstein method, the stopped EM, the backward EM, the backward forward EM, etc. Recently,...

We study a stochastic model of influence where agents have “yes” or “no” inclinations on some issue, and opinions may change due to mutual influence among the agents. Each agent independently aggregates the opinions of the other agents and possibly herself. We study influence processes modelled by ordered weighted averaging operators, which are anonymous: they only depend on how many agents sha...
