Optimal control of an abstract evolution variational inequality with application to homogenized plasticity [PDF]
Journal of Nonsmooth Analysis and Optimization, 2020 The paper is concerned with an optimal control problem governed by a state equation in form of a generalized abstract operator differential equation involving a maximal monotone operator.

Necessary and sufficient condition on global optimality without convexity and second order differentiability [PDF]
, 2012 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

On the performance of a cavity method based algorithm for the Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree Problem on graphs [PDF]
, 2012 We study the behavior of an algorithm derived from the cavity method for the Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree (PCST) problem on graphs. The algorithm is based on the zero temperature limit of the cavity equations and as such is formally simple (a fixed ...

Phenology as a strategy for carbon optimality: a global model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2014 Phenology is essential to our understanding of biogeochemical cycles and the climate system. We develop a global mechanistic model of leaf phenology based on the hypothesis that phenology is a strategy for optimal carbon gain at the canopy level so that ...

Diffusions for Global Optimization
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 1986 This paper describes a problem of finding a global minimum of a real- valued function defined on the unit hypercube in Euclidean n-space. The problem is changed to a stochastic differential equation by using the gradient of the above function as the drift term and a diffusion term which is interpreted as a constant times the square root of ...

Generalized invexity and mathematical programs [PDF]
Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research, 2021 In this paper, using generalized convexity assumptions, we show that Mstationary condition is sufficient for global or local optimality under some mathematical programming problem with equilibrium constraints(MPEC).

Second-order optimality conditions for interval-valued functions
Journal of Inequalities and Applications, 2023 This work is included in the search of optimality conditions for solutions to the scalar interval optimization problem, both constrained and unconstrained, by means of second-order optimality conditions.

Optimality-based modelling of climate impacts on global potential wheat yield
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Evaluation of potential crop yields is important for global food security assessment because it represents the biophysical ‘ceiling’ determined by variety, climate and ambient CO _2 .
