Equivalence and Strong Equivalence Between the Sparsest and Least l1-Norm Nonnegative Solutions of Linear Systems and Their Applications

Many practical problems can be formulated as l0-minimization problems with nonnegativity constraints,which seek the sparsest nonnegative solutions to underdetermined linear systems.Recent study indicates that l1-minimization is efficient for solving l0-minimization problems.From a mathematical point of view,however,the understanding of the relationship between l0-and l1-minimization remains incomplete.In this paper,we further address several theoretical questions associated with these two problems.We prove that the fundamental strict complementarity theorem of linear programming can yield a necessary and sufficient condition for a linear system to admit a unique least l1-norm nonnegative solution.This condition leads naturally to the so-called range space property(RSP)and the “full-column-rank”property,which altogether provide a new and broad understanding of the equivalence and the strong equivalence between l0-and l1-minimization.Motivated by these results,we introduce the concept of “RSP of order K”that turns out to be a full characterization of uniform recovery of all K-sparse nonnegative vectors.This concept also enables us to develop a nonuniform recovery theory for sparse nonnegative vectors via the so-called weak range space property.

STRUCTURE OF NONNEGATIVE NONTRIVIAL AND POSITIVE SOLUTIONS OF SINGULARLY PERTURBED p-LAPLACE EQUATIONS

Structure of nonnegative nontrivial and positive solutions was precisely studied for some singularly perturbed p-Laplace equations. By virtue of sub- and supersolution method, it is shown that there are many nonnegative nontrivial spike-layer solutions and positive intermediate spike-layer solutions. Moreover, the upper and lower bound on the measure of each spike-layer were estimated when the parameter is sufficiently small.

NONNEGATIVITY OF SOLUTIONS OF NONLINEAR FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL-ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS

Nonlinear fractional differential-algebraic equations often arise in simulating integrated circuits with superconductors. How to obtain the nonnegative solutions of the equations is an important scientific problem. As far as we known, the nonnegativity of solutions of the nonlinear fractional differential-algebraic equations is still not studied. In this article, we investigate the nonnegativity of solutions of the equations. Firstly, we discuss the existence of nonnegative solutions of the equations, and then we show that the nonnegative solution can be approached by a monotone waveform relaxation sequence provided the initial iteration is chosen properly. The choice of initial iteration is critical and we give a method of finding it. Finally, we present an example to illustrate the efficiency of our method.
