A simple expression is presented that is equivalent to the norm of the $L_v^p \to L_u^q$ embedding of the cone of quasi-concave functions in the case 0 < q < p < ∞ ...
The multiple exchange property for matroid bases is generalized for valuated matroids and M-natural concave set functions. The proof is based on the Fenchel-type duality theorem in discrete convex ...
This course discusses basic convex analysis (convex sets, functions, and optimization problems), optimization theory (linear, quadratic, semidefinite, and geometric programming; optimality conditions ...
