When all the involved data in indefinite quadratic programs change simultaneously, we show the locally Lipschtiz continuity of the KKT set of the quadratic programming problem firstly, then we establish the locally Lipschtiz continuity of the KKT solution set. Finally, the similar conclusion for the corresponding optimal value function is obtained.

Fuzzy TOPSIS method to primary crusher selection for Golegohar Iron Mine(Iran)

Selection of the crusher required a great deal of design regarding to the mine planning. Selection of suitable primary crusher from all of available primary crushers is a multi-criterion decision making(MCDM) problem. The present work explores the use of technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution(TOPSIS) with fuzzy set theory to select best primary crusher for Golegohar Iron Mine in Iran. Gyratory, double toggle jaw, single toggle jaw, high speed roll crusher, low speed sizer, impact crusher, hammer mill and feeder breaker crushers have been considered as alternatives. Also, the capacity, feed size, product size, rock compressive strength, abrasion index and application of primary crusher for mobile plants were considered as criteria for solution of this MCDM problem. To determine the order of the alternatives, closeness coefficient is defined by calculating the distances to the fuzzy positive ideal solution(FPIS) and fuzzy negative ideal solution(FNIS). Results of our work based on fuzzy TOPSIS method show that the gyratory is the best primary crusher for the studied mine.

The least squares problem of the matrix equation A_1X_1B_1~T+A_2X_2B_2~T=T

The matrix least squares （LS） problem minx ｜｜AXB^T--T｜｜F is trivial and its solution can be simply formulated in terms of the generalized inverse of A and B. Its generalized problem minx1,x2 ｜｜A1X1B1^T ＋ A2X2B2^T - T｜｜F can also be regarded as the constrained LS problem minx=diag（x1,x2） ｜｜AXB^T -T｜｜F with A = [A1, A2] and B = [B1, B2]. The authors transform T to T such that min x1,x2 ｜｜A1X1B1^T＋A2X2B2^T -T｜｜F is equivalent to min x=diag（x1 ,x2） ｜｜AXB^T - T｜｜F whose solutions are included in the solution set of unconstrained problem minx ｜｜AXB^T - T｜｜F. So the general solutions of min x1,x2 ｜｜A1X1B^T ＋ A2X2B2^T -T｜｜F are reconstructed by selecting the parameter matrix in that of minx ｜｜AXB^T - T｜｜F.

Semicontinuity of the Minimal Solution Set Mappings for Parametric Set-Valued Vector Optimization Problems

With the help of a level mapping,this paper mainly investigates the semicontinuity of minimal solution set mappings for set-valued vector optimization problems.First,we introduce a kind of level mapping which generalizes one given in Han and Gong(Optimization 65:1337–1347,2016).Then,we give a sufficient condition for the upper semicontinuity and the lower semicontinuity of the level mapping.Finally,in terms of the semicontinuity of the level mapping,we establish the upper semicontinuity and the lower semicontinuity of the minimal solution set mapping to parametric setvalued vector optimization problems under the C-Hausdorff continuity instead of the continuity in the sense of Berge.

Robust Solutions to Uncertain Linear Complementarity Problems

In this paper, we adopt the robust optimization method to consider linear complementarity problems in which the data is not specified exactly or is uncertain, and it is only known to belong to a prescribed uncertainty set. We propose the notion of the p-robust counterpart and the p-robust solution of uncertain linear complementarity problems. We discuss uncertain linear complementarity problems with three different uncertainty sets, respectively, including an unknown-but-bounded uncertainty set, an ellipsoidal uncertainty set and an intersection-of-ellipsoids uncertainty set, and present some sufficient and necessary （or sufficient） conditions which p-robust solutions satisfy. Some special eases are investigated in this paper.

Connectedness of G-proper Efficient Solution Set for Multiobjective Programming Problem

In this paper, we investigate the connectedness of G-proper efficient solution set for multiobjective programming problem. It is shown that the G-proper efficient solution set is connected if objective functions are convex. A sufficient condition for the connectedness of G-proper efficient solution set is established when objective functions are strictly quasiconvex.

Painlevé-Kuratowski Stability of the Solution Sets to Perturbed Vector Generalized Systems

In this paper, stability results of solution mappings to perturbed vector generalized system are studied. Firstly, without the assumption of monotonicity, the Painleve-Kuratowski convergence of global efficient solution sets of a family of perturbed problems to the corresponding global efficient solution set of the generalized system is obtained, where the perturbations are performed on both the objective function and the feasible set. Then, the density and Painleve-Kuratowski convergence results of efficient solution sets are established by using gamma convergence, which is weaker than the assumption of continuous convergence. These results extend and improve the recent ones in the literature.

Solution set calculation of the Sun-perturbed optimal two-impulse trans-lunar orbits using continuation theory

The solution set of the Sun-perturbed optimal two-impulse trans-lunar orbit is helpful for overall optimization of the lunar exploration mission.A model for computing the two-impulse trans-lunar orbit,which strictly satisfies the boundary constraints,is established.The solution set is computed first with a circular restricted three-body model using a generalized local gradient optimization algorithm and the strategy of design variable initial continuation.By taking the solution set of a circular restricted three-body model as the initial values of the design variables,the Sun-perturbed solution set is calculated based on the dynamic model continuation theory and traversal search methodology.A comparative analysis shows that the fuel cost may be reduced to some extent by considering the Sun’s perturbation and choosing an appropriate transfer window.Moreover,there are several optimal two-impulse trans-lunar methods for supporting a lunar mission to select a scenario with a certain ground measurement and to control the time cost.A fitted linear dependence relationship between the Sun’s befitting phase and the trans-lunar duration could thus provide a reference to select a low-fuel-cost trans-lunar injection window in an engineering project.

Second Order Nonlinear Evolution Inclusions Existence and Relaxation Results

This is the first part of a work on second order nonlinear, nonmonotone evolution inclusions defined in the framework of an evolution triple of spaces and with a multivalued nonlinearity depending on both x（t） and x（t）. In this first part we prove existence and relaxation theorems. We consider the case of an usc, convex valued nonlinearity and we show that for this problem the solution set is nonempty and compact in C^1 （T, H）. Also we examine the Isc, nonconvex case and again we prove the existence of solutions. In addition we establish the existence of extremal solutions and by strengthening our hypotheses, we show that the extremal solutions are dense in C^1 （T, H） to the solutions of the original convex problem （strong relaxation）. An example of a nonlinear hyperbolic optimal control problem is also discussed.

Refined Scattering and Hermitian Spectral Theory for Linear Higher-Order Schrōdinger Equations

The Cauchy problem for a linear 2mth-order Schrōdinger equation ut=-i（-△）^mu, in R^N×R＋,u｜t=0=u0;m≥1 is an integer,is studied, for initial data uo in the weighted space L^2ρ（R^N）,withρ^＊（x）=e｜x｜^a and a=2m/2m-1∈（1,2].The following five problems are studied： （I） A sharp asymptotic behaviour of solutions as t → ＋∞ is governed by a discrete spectrum and a countable set Ф of the eigenfunctions of the linear rescaled operator B=-i（-△）^m＋1/2my·↓△＋N/2mI,with the spectrum σ（B）={λβ=-｜β｜≥0}. （Ⅱ） Finite-time blow-up local structures of nodal sets of solutions as t → 0^- and a formation of ＂multiple zeros＂ are described by the eigenfunctions, being generalized Hermite polynomials, of the ＂adjoint＂ operator B=-i（-△）^m-1/2my·↓△,with the same spectrum σ（B^＊）=σ（B）.Applications of these spectral results also include： （Ⅲ） a unique continuation theorem, and （IV） boundary characteristic point regularity issues. Some applications are discussed for more general linear PDEs and for the nonlinear Schr6dinger equations in the focusing （＂＋＂） and defocusing （＂-＂） cases ut=-（-△）^mu±i｜u｜^p-1u,in R^N×R＋,where P〉1,as well as for： （V） the quasilinear Schr6dinger equation of a ＂porous medium type＂ ut=-（-△）^m（｜u｜^nu）,in R^N×R＋,where n〉0.For the latter one, the main idea towards countable families of nonlinear eigenfunctions is to perform a homotopic path n → 0^＋ and to use spectral theory of the pair {B,B^＊}.
