Monotone Submodular Maximization over a Matroid via Non-Oblivious Local Search [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We present an optimal, combinatorial 1−1/e approximation algorithm for monotone submodular optimization over a matroid constraint. Compared to the continuous greedy algorithm (Calinescu, Chekuri, Pál and Vondrák, 2008), our algorithm is extremely simple ...

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.

Strengthened convexity of positive operator monotone decreasing functions

open access: yes, 2020
We prove a strengthened form of convexity for operator monotone decreasing positive functions defined on the positive real numbers. This extends Ando and Hiai's work to allow arbitrary positive maps instead of states (or the identity map), and functional

A Survey on Operator Monotonicity, Operator Convexity, and Operator Means [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Analysis, 2015
This paper is an expository devoted to an important class of real-valued functions introduced by Löwner, namely, operator monotone functions. This concept is closely related to operator convex/concave functions. Various characterizations for such functions are given from the viewpoint of differential analysis in terms of matrix of divided differences ...

New characterizations of operator monotone functions

open access: yes, 2018
If σ is a symmetric mean and f is an operator monotone function on [0,∞), then f(2(A−1+B−1)−1)≤f(AσB)≤f((A+B)/2). Conversely, Ando and Hiai showed that if f is a function that satisfies either one of these inequalities for all positive operators A and B ...

Light‐Induced Field‐Tunneling Synapses in Solution‐Processed Van Der Waals Heterostructures for Scalable, Retina‐Inspired Optical Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A scalable, solution‐processed WSe2/ZrO2‐x van der Waals heterostructure realizes a light‐induced field‐tunneling synapse (LIFTS) that activates exclusively under bright illumination, emulating the photopic adaptation of the human retina at the device level.

An Inexact Proximal-Type Method for the Generalized Variational Inequality in Banach Spaces

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2007
We investigate an inexact proximal-type method, applied to the generalized variational inequality problem with maximal monotone operator in reflexive Banach spaces.

2D Co‐Assembly of Solid Acids Enables Stable Superprotonic Conduction Above 260°C

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A two‐dimensional co‐assembly strategy integrates antimony phosphate and phosphotungstic acid nanosheets into free‐standing inorganic lamellar membranes with confined acid–acid interfaces. The resulting interfacial hydrogen‐bond network enables anhydrous proton conductivity exceeding 0.1 S cm−1 at 260°C and supports stable high‐temperature fuel‐cell ...

A Penalization-Gradient Algorithm for Variational Inequalities

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2011
This paper is concerned with the study of a penalization-gradient algorithm for solving variational inequalities, namely, find x̅∈C such that 〈Ax̅,y-x̅〉≥0 for all y∈C, where A:H→H is a single-valued operator, C is a closed convex set of a real Hilbert ...

Unique iterative positive solutions for a singular p-Laplacian fractional differential equation system with infinite-point boundary conditions

open access: yesBoundary Value Problems, 2019
By using the method of mixed monotone operator, a unique positive solution is obtained for a singular p-Laplacian boundary value system with infinite-point boundary conditions in this paper.
