Extreme-value statistics from Lagrangian convex hull analysis for homogeneous turbulent Boussinesq convection and MHD convection [PDF]
We investigate the utility of the convex hull of many Lagrangian tracers to analyze transport properties of turbulent flows with different anisotropy. In direct numerical simulations of statistically homogeneous and stationary Navier–Stokes turbulence ...

Anomaly Detection Based on Convex Analysis: A Survey
As a crucial technique for identifying irregular samples or outlier patterns, anomaly detection has broad applications in many fields. Convex analysis (CA) is one of the fundamental methods used in anomaly detection, which contributes to the robust ...

Sharpening Sparse Regularizers via Smoothing
Non-convex sparsity-inducing penalties outperform their convex counterparts, but generally sacrifice the cost function convexity. As a middle ground, we propose the sharpening sparse regularizers (SSR) framework to design non-separable non-convex ...

Sparse Regularized Optimal Transport with Deformed q-Entropy
Optimal transport is a mathematical tool that has been a widely used to measure the distance between two probability distributions. To mitigate the cubic computational complexity of the vanilla formulation of the optimal transport problem, regularized ...

AutoBar: Automatic Barrier Coverage Formation for Danger Keep Out Applications in Smart City
Barrier coverage is a fundamental application in wireless sensor networks, which are widely used for smart cities. In applications, the sensors form a barrier for the intruders and protect an area through intrusion detection.

Motivated by the Penrose–Onsager criterion for Bose–Einstein condensation we propose a functional theory for targeting low-lying excitation energies of bosonic quantum systems through the one-particle picture.

On the sufficiency of K-positivity for truncated compactly supported generalized moment problems
Given a compact set K and a finite set of continuous basis functions, the truncated generalized K-moment problem asks for a characterization of all sequences that can be obtained as moments, with respect to the basis functions, of some nonnegative ...

General optimal euclidean Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities
We prove general optimal euclidean Sobolev and Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities by using mass transportation and convex analysis results. Explicit extremals and the computation of some optimal constants are also provided.

The Tracial Hahn-Banach Theorem, Polar Duals, Matrix Convex Sets, and Projections of Free Spectrahedra [PDF]
This article investigates matrix convex sets and introduces their tracial analogs which we call contractively tracial convex sets. In both contexts completely positive (cp) maps play a central role: unital cp maps in the case of matrix convex sets and ...

Necessary and sufficient condition on global optimality without convexity and second order differentiability [PDF]
The main goal of this paper is to give a necessary and sufficient condition of global optimality for unconstrained optimization problems, when the objective function is not necessarily convex. We use Gâteaux differentiability of the objective function
