A Cone Constrained Convex Program : structure and Algorithms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, we consider the positive semi-definite space tensor cone constrained convex program, its structure and algorithms. We study defining functions, defining sequences and polyhedral outer approximations for this positive semi-definite space ...

Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

The Marginal Pricing Rule in Economies with Infinitely Many Commodities [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we consider an economy with infinitely many commodities and non-convex production sets. We propose a definition of the marginal pricing rule which allows us to encompass the case of smooth and convex production sets.

ON THE SET-SEMIDEFINITE REPRESENTATION OF NONCONVEX QUADRATIC PROGRAMS WITH CONE CONSTRAINTS

open access: yesCroatian Operational Research Review, 2010
The well-known result stating that any non-convex quadratic problem over the non-negative orthant with some additional linear and binary constraints can be rewritten as linear problem over the cone of completely positive matrices (Burer, 2009) is ...

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Matrix convex functions with applications to weighted centers for semidefinite programming [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we develop various calculus rules for general smooth matrix-valued functions and for the class of matrix convex (or concave) functions first introduced by Loewner and Kraus in 1930s.

Stability of closedness on convex cones under linear mappings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper we reconsider the question of when the continuous linear image of a closed convex cone is closed in Euclidean space. In particular, we show that although it is not true that the closedness of the image is preserved under small perturbations

New Subclass of Convex Functions Concerning Infinite Cone [PDF]

open access: yesSahand Communications in Mathematical Analysis
We introduce a new subclass of convex functions as follows:\[  \mathcal{K}_{IC}:=\left\{f\in \mathcal{A}:{\rm  Re}\left(1+\frac{zf''(z)}{f'(z)}\right)>\left|f'(z)-1\right|,\quad  |z|

Convexity Properties of the Cone of Nonnegative Polynomials [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete & Computational Geometry, 2004
We study metric properties of the cone of homogeneous non-negative multivariate polynomials and the cone of sums of powers of linear forms, and the relationship between the two cones. We compute the maximum volume ellipsoid of the natural base of the cone of non-negative polynomials and the minimum volume ellipsoid of the natural base of the cone of ...

The coelurosaur theropods of the Romualdo formation, early Cretaceous (Aptian) of Brazil: Santanaraptor placidus meets Mirischia asymmetrica

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The upper carbonate concretion levels of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian, Brazil) have yielded several theropod dinosaur remains, including spinosaurids and the coelurosaurs Santanaraptor placidus and Mirischia asymmetrica, the phylogenetic affinities of which are controversial.
