Variational convergence of discrete minimal surfaces [PDF]

open access: yesNumerische Mathematik, 2018
Building on and extending tools from variational analysis, we prove Kuratowski convergence of sets of simplicial area minimizers to minimizers of the smooth Douglas-Plateau problem under simplicial refinement. This convergence is with respect to a topology that is stronger than uniform convergence of both positions and surface normals.

On the Convergence of Bregman ADMM With Variational Inequality [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2020
The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is one of most foundational algorithms for linear constrained composite minimization problems. For different specific problems, variations of ADMM (like linearized ADMM, proximal ADMM) are developed.

Theoretical Convergence Guarantees for Variational Autoencoders

open access: yesCoRR
Variational Autoencoders (VAE) are popular generative models used to sample from complex data distributions. Despite their empirical success in various machine learning tasks, significant gaps remain in understanding their theoretical properties, particularly regarding convergence guarantees.

Variational convergence of discrete elasticae [PDF]

open access: yesIMA Journal of Numerical Analysis, 2020
AbstractWe discuss a discretization of the Euler–Bernoulli bending energy and of Euler elasticae under clamped boundary conditions by polygonal lines. We show Hausdorff convergence of the set of almost minimizers of the discrete bending energy to the set of smooth Euler elasticae under mesh refinement in (i) the $W^{1,\infty }$-topology for piecewise ...

A New Variational Inequality with its Application [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, we suggest the iterative algorithm for a variational inequality by using the auxiliary principle technique, which is closely related to the optimal boundary control of time-varying population system with age-dependence and spatial ...

A Predictor-Corrector Methods for Mixed Inverse Variational Inequalities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, a class of mixed inverse variational inequalities is introduced and studied. We prove the existence of the solution of the auxiliary problem for mixed inverse variational inequalities, suggest a predictor-corrector method for solving the ...

Young measures in a nonlocal phase transition problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
A nonlocal variational problem modelling phase transitions is studied in the framework of Young measures. The existence of global minimisers among functions with internal layers on an infinite tube is proved by combining a weak convergence result ...

Variational Convergence of Bifunctions: Motivating Applications [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Journal on Optimization, 2014
It is shown that a number of variational and equilibrium problems can be cast as finding the maxinf-points or minsup-points of bivariate functions, for short, bifunctions. These problems include linear and nonlinear complementarity problems, fixed points, variational inequalities, inclusions, noncooperative games, and Walras and Nash equilibrium ...
