Abstract. We discuss that the thermodynamical Legendre transform structure can be retained not only for the arbitrary entropic form but also for the arbitrary form of the energy constraints by following the discussion of Plastino and Plastino. The thermodynamic relation between the expectation values and the conjugate Lagrange multipliers are seen to be universal. Furthermore, Gibbs’ fundamenta...

We propose a method to obtain a manifestly supersymmetric action functional for interacting brane systems. It is based on the induced map of the worldvolume of low-dimensional branes into the worldvolume of the space-time filling brane ((D-1)-brane), which may be either dynamical or auxiliary, and implies an identification of Grassmann coordinate fields of lower dimensional branes with an image...

We give a one-parameter deformation of the noncommutative Lagrange inversion formula, more precisely, of the formula of Brouder-Frabetti-Krattenthaler for the antipode of the noncommutative Faá di Bruno algebra. Namely, we obtain a closed formula for the antipode of the one-parameter deformation of this Hopf algebra discovered by Foissy.

This article is concerned with the question of whether Marcinkiewicz multipliers on R2n give rise to bilinear multipliers on R×R. We show that this is not always the case. Moreover, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for such bilinear multipliers to be bounded. These conditions in particular imply that a slight logarithmic modification of the Marcinkiewicz condition gives multipliers f...

We study the problem of multicut segmentation. We introduce modified versions of the Semi-PlanarCC based on bounding Lagrange multipliers. We apply our work to natural image segmentation.

We investigate nonlinear programs that have a nonempty but possibly unbounded Lagrange multiplier set and that satisfy the quadraticgrowth condition. We show that such programs can be transformed, by relaxing the constraints and adding a linear penalty term to the objective function, into equivalent nonlinear programs that have diierentiable data and a bounded Lagrange multiplier set and that s...

We introduce two three-field mixed formulations for the Poisson equation and propose finite element methods for their approximation. Both mixed formulations are obtained by introducing a weak equation for the gradient of the solution by means of a Lagrange multiplier space. Two efficient numerical schemes are proposed based on using a pair of bases for the gradient of the solution and the Lagra...

In this paper we propose a fully conservative form for the continuum equations governing rate-dependent and rate-independent plastic ow in metals. The conservation laws are valid for discontinuous as well as smooth solutions. In the rate-dependent case, the evolution equations are in divergence form, with the plastic strain being passively convected and augmented by source terms. In the rate-in...

We present some properties of the gradient of a mu-differentiable function. The Method of Lagrange Multipliers for mu-differentiable functions is then exemplified.
