A note on quasi-convex functions

, 2017
We present an example of smooth quasi-convex functions in the positive octant of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$ which cannot be obtained as the images of convex smooth functions under a monotone smooth mappings of $\mathbb{R}$.

P-functions, Quasi-convex Functions, and Hadamard-type Inequalities

Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1999
A nonnegative function \(f\) defined on \([a,b]\) is said to be a \(P\)-function if \[ f(tx+ (1- t)y)\leq f(x)+ f(y),\quad x,y\in [a,b],\quad t\in [0,1]. \] The authors show that the set of all \(P\)-functions on \([a,b]\) is the least set closed under pointwise sum, supremum, and convergence and containing the class of all nonnegative quasi-convex ...

Optimizing condition numbers [PDF]

, 2009
In this paper we study the problem of minimizing condition numbers over a compact convex subset of the cone of symmetric positive semidefinite $n\times n$ matrices. We show that the condition number is a Clarke regular strongly pseudoconvex function.

Nanoscale Thermal Transport in Bi2(Te, Se)3 Thermoelectric Material Using Pulsed STEM

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
The pulsed‐STEM technique enables simultaneous acquisition of crystallographic, compositional, and thermal transport information within a single experiment. In anisotropic Bi2(Te, Se)3, phase‐delay imaging visualizes directional heat flow and interfacial resistance at the nanoscale, offering a new approach to understanding and designing thermoelectric ...

Better Approximations for Quasi-Convex Functions

Studia Universitatis Babes-Bolyai Matematica
In this paper, by using Hölder-İşcan, Hölder integral inequality and a general identity for differentiable functions we can get new estimates on generalization of Hadamard, Ostrowski and Simpson type integral inequalities for functions whose derivatives in absolute value at certain power are quasi-convex functions. It is proved that the result obtained

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

First-order methods of smooth convex optimization with inexact oracle [PDF]

In this paper, we analyze different first-order methods of smooth convex optimization employing inexact first-order information. We introduce the notion of an approximate first-order oracle.

Feasibility Study for Application of Digitized Henize Mt. Wilson Michigan Southern Sky Hα$$ \boldsymbol{\alpha} $$ Survey Low‐Dispersive Spectral Plates for Searches for Anomalous and Highly Redshifted Objects

Astronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The goal of this study is to confirm the feasibility of the use of digitized low dispersive MtWilson Michigan Southern Sky Hα$$ \alpha $$ survey astronomical photographic plates for modern astrophysical research. The detection of highly redshifted objects, such as early galaxies and quasars, is fundamental to understanding the universe's ...

Radial capacity and hemodynamics evaluation in vitro and implantable feasibility validation in vivo of thinner bioresorbable polymer vascular stents

BMEMat, EarlyView.
A series of in vitro experiments, numerical simulations and in vivo experiments were conducted to jointly evaluate the effects of different thicknesses of bioabsorbable polymer vascular stents on their radial capacity, hemodynamics and in vivo outcomes.

MXenes as a Versatile Platform for High‐Energy‐Density Asymmetric Supercapacitors

Carbon Energy, EarlyView.
MXenes with high conductivity and tunable surface chemistry are reviewed as advanced electrodes for asymmetric supercapacitors. MAX‐phase synthesis, surface and interlayer engineering, defect modulation, and composite designs are discussed, highlighting enhanced ion transport, pseudocapacitance, energy density, cycling stability, and sustainable routes
