In this paper, we consider the learning rates of multi-kernel linear programming classifiers. Our analysis shows that the convergence behavior of multi-kernel linear programming classifiers is almost the same as that of multi-kernel quadratic programming. This is implemented by setting a stepping stone between the linear programming and the quadratic programming. An upper bound is presented for general probability distributions and distribution satisfying some Tsybakov noise condition.

In this paper, we obtain the uniqueness and existence of viscosity solutions with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity to Hessian equations in exterior domains.

We extend the definition of a quantum analogue of the Caldero-Chapoton map defined by D. Rupel. When Q is a quiver of finite type, we prove that the algebra [inline-graphic not available: see fulltext](Q) generated by all cluster characters is exactly the quantum cluster algebra [inline-graphic not available: see fulltext](Q).

It is shown that the conforming Q _2,1;1,2-Q′₁ mixed element is stable, and provides optimal order of approximation for the Stokes equations on rectangular grids. Here, Q _2,1;1,2 = Q _2,1 × Q _1,2, and Q _2,1 denotes the space of continuous piecewise-polynomials of degree 2 or less in the x direction but of degree 1 in the y direction. Q′₁ is the space of discontinuous bilinear polynomials, with spurious modes filtered. To be precise, Q′₁ is the divergence of the discrete velocity space Q _2,1;1,2. Therefore, the resulting finite element solution for the velocity is divergence-free pointwise, when solving the Stokes equations. This element is the lowest order one in a family of divergence-free element, similar to the families of the Bernardi-Raugel element and the Raviart-Thomas element.

Let ([inline-graphic not available: see fulltext], d, µ) be a metric measure space satisfying the so-called upper doubling condition and the geometrically doubling condition. In this paper, we introduce the space RBLO(µ) and prove that it is a subset of the known space RBMO(µ) in this context. Moreover, we establish several useful characterizations for the space RBLO(µ). As an application, we obtain the boundedness of the maximal Calderón-Zygmund operators from L ^∞(µ) to RBLO(µ).

The purpose of this article is to derive an integral inequality of Ricci curvature with respect to Reeb field in a Finsler space and give a new geometric characterization of Finsler metrics with constant flag curvature 1.

In this paper, the collision local times for two independent fractional Brownian motions are considered as generalized white noise functionals. Moreover, the collision local times exist in L ² under mild conditions and chaos expansions are also given.

It was conjectured by A. Bouchet that every bidirected graph which admits a nowhere-zero k-flow admits a nowhere-zero 6-flow. He proved that the conjecture is true when 6 is replaced by 216. O. Zyka improved the result with 6 replaced by 30. R. Xu and C. Q. Zhang showed that the conjecture is true for 6-edge-connected graph, which is further improved by A. Raspaud and X. Zhu for 4-edge-connected graphs. The main result of this paper improves Zyka’s theorem by showing the existence of a nowhere-zero 25-flow for all 3-edge-connected graphs.

This paper is concerned with the quasineutral limit of the bipolar quantum hydrodynamic model for semiconductors. It is rigorously proved that the strong solutions of the bipolar quantum hydrodynamic model converge to the strong solution of the so-called quantum hydrodynamic equations as the Debye length goes to zero. Moreover, we obtain the convergence of the strong solutions of bipolar quantum hydrodynamic model to the strong solution of the compressible Euler equations with damping if both the Debye length and the Planck constant go to zero simultaneously.

The real rectangular tensors arise from the strong ellipticity condition problem in solid mechanics and the entanglement problem in quantum physics. Some properties concerning the singular values of a real rectangular tensor were discussed by K. C. Chang et al. [J. Math. Anal. Appl., 2010, 370: 284–294]. In this paper, we give some new results on the Perron-Frobenius Theorem for nonnegative rectangular tensors. We show that the weak Perron-Frobenius keeps valid and the largest singular value is really geometrically simple under some conditions. In addition, we establish the convergence of an algorithm proposed by K. C. Chang et al. for finding the largest singular value of nonnegative primitive rectangular tensors.
