摘要:Motivated by applications in emergency response and experimental design, we consider smooth stochastic optimization problems over probability measures supported on compact subsets of the Euclidean space. With the influence function as the variational object, we construct a deterministic Frank-Wolfe (dFW) recursion for probability spaces. The dFW recursion is made especially possible by a lemma that identifies the solution to the infinite-dimensional Frank-Wolfe subproblem as a Dirac measure co...

摘要:Matroid intersection is a classical optimization problem where given two matroids over the same ground set, the goal is to find the largest common independent set. In this paper, we show that there exists a certain sparsifer: a subset of elements of size O(|Sopt| 1/E), where Sopt denotes the optimal solution, that is guaranteed to contain a 3/2 + E approximation while guaranteeing certain robustness properties. We call such a small subset a density constrained subset, which is inspired by the ...

摘要:We study properties of the central path underlying a nonlinear semidefinite optimization problem, called an NSDP for short. The latest radical work on this topic was contributed by Yamashita and Yabe [Yamashita H, Yabe H (2012) Local and superlinear convergence of a primal-dual interior point method for nonlinear semidefinite programming. Mathematical Programming 132(1-2):1-30]: they proved that the Jacobian of a certain equation system derived from the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions of t...

摘要:Relative entropy minimization is a widely used method in decisions and operations research that incorporates information through constraints on the underlying probability model. The solution is called information projection, and we present new results for its existence, exponential family representation, and approximation in the infinite-dimensional setting for moment inequality constraint sets, nesting both conditional and unconditional moments and allowing for an infinite number of such ineq...

摘要:We consider information transmission between a sender, who has finitely many types, and a receiver, who must choose a decision in a real interval. The payoffs depend on the sender's type and the receiver's decision. We assume that the payoff functions are wellbehaved. We characterize the pure strategy perfect Bayesian equilibrium outcomes as incentive-compatible partitions of the sender's types. We propose an algorithm, which starts from the finest partition. Then, at every step, if the curren...

摘要:We construct Nash equilibria in feedback form for a class of two-person stochastic games of singular control with absorption, arising from a stylized model for corporate finance. More precisely, the paper focuses on a strategic dynamic game in which two financially constrained firms operate in the same market. The firms distribute dividends and are faced with default risk. The strategic interaction arises from the fact that if one firm defaults, the other one becomes a monopolist and increases...

摘要:Fortification-interdiction games are trilevel adversarial games where two opponents act in succession to protect, disrupt, and simply use an infrastructure for a specific purpose. Many such games have been formulated and tackled in the literature through specific algorithmic methods; however, very few investigations exist on the completeness of such fortification problems in order to locate them rigorously in the polynomial hierarchy. We clarify the completeness status of several well-known fo...

摘要:Semismooth* Newton methods have been proposed in recent years targeting multivalued inclusion problems and have been successfully implemented to deal with several concrete generalized equations. In this paper, we show that two typical implementations of them that are available are exactly the applications of G-semismooth Newton methods for solving nonsmooth equations localized from these generalized equations. This new understanding expands the breadth of G-semismooth Newton methods in theory,...

摘要:Consider the stability properties of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) solution mapping SKKT for Nash equilibrium problems (NEPs) with canonical perturbations. Firstly, we obtain an exact characterization of the strong regularity of SKKT as well as an easily verified sufficient condition. Secondly, we propose equivalent conditions for the continuously differentiable single-valued localization of SKKT. Thirdly, the isolated calmness of SKKT is studied based on the I-property. The P-property is propo...

摘要:This paper addresses the portfolio selection problem for nonlinear law-dependent preferences in continuous time, which inherently exhibit time inconsistency. Employing the method of the stochastic maximum principle, we establish verification theorems for equilibrium strategies, accommodating both random market coefficients and incomplete markets. We derive the first-order condition (FOC) for the equilibrium strategies, using a notion of functional derivatives with respect to probability distri...
