On the Duality of Semiantichains and Unichain Coverings [PDF]
We study a min-max relation conjectured by Saks and West: For any two posets $P$ and $Q$ the size of a maximum semiantichain and the size of a minimum unichain covering in the product $P\times Q$ are equal. For positive we state conditions on $P$ and $Q$

On Lagrangian Duality in Vector Optimization. Applications to the linear case. [PDF]
The paper deals with vector constrained extremum problems. A separation scheme is recalled; starting from it, a vector Lagrangian duality theory is developed. The linear duality due to Isermann can be embedded in this separation approach.

Strong duality in conic linear programming: facial reduction and extended duals
The facial reduction algorithm of Borwein and Wolkowicz and the extended dual of Ramana provide a strong dual for the conic linear program $$ (P) \sup { | Ax \leq_K b} $$ in the absence of any constraint qualification.

Introduction to Optimal Transport Theory
These notes constitute a sort of Crash Course in Optimal Transport Theory. The different features of the problem of Monge-Kantorovitch are treated, starting from convex duality issues. The main properties of space of probability measures endowed with the

Optimization problems with quasiconvex inequality constraints [PDF]
The constrained optimization problem min f(x), gj(x) 0 (j = 1, . . . , p) is considered, where f : X ! R and gj : X ! R are nonsmooth functions with domain X Rn.

The Merton Problem with a Drawdown Constraint on Consumption [PDF]
In this paper, we work in the framework of the Merton problem but we impose a drawdown constraint on the consumption process. This means that consumption can never fall below a fixed proportion of the running maximum of past consumption.

Solving monotone inclusions involving parallel sums of linearly composed maximally monotone operators [PDF]
The aim of this article is to present two different primal-dual methods for solving structured monotone inclusions involving parallel sums of compositions of maximally monotone operators with linear bounded operators.
