Abstract

The supporting vectors of a matrix A are the solutions of max || x ||_2 =1 {||Ax||_2^2}. The generalized supporting vectors of matrices A_1 , . . . , A_k are the solutions of max || x ||_2 =1 {||A_1x||_2^2 + ||A_2x||_2^2 + ... + ||A_kx||_2^2}. Notice that the previous optimization problem is also a boundary element problem since the maximum is attained on the unit sphere. Many problems in Physics, Statistics and Engineering can be modeled by using generalized supporting vectors. In this manuscript we first raise the generalized supporting vectors to the infinite dimensional case by solving the optimization problem max || x || =1 sum_{i=1}^\infty ||T i (x )||^2 where (T i )_i is a sequence ofbounded linear operators between Hilbert spaces H and K of any dimension. Observe that the previous optimization problem generalizes the first two. Then a unified MATLAB code is presented for computing generalized supporting vectors of a finite number of matrices. Some particular cases are considered and three novel examples are provided to which our technique applies: optimized observable magnitudes by a pure state in a quantum mechanical system, a TMS optimized coil and an optimal location problem using statistics multivariate analysis. These three examples show the wide applicability of our theoretical and computational model.

Typical dynamical properties of operators on $\ell_p$

We investigate the typical dynamical properties of hypercyclic operators in $\mathcal{L}_M(X)$, the set of all bounded linear operators on $X$ whose norms are at most $M$, when $X=\ell_p$, $1< p<\infty$. We show that, with respect to SOT$^*$, a typical operator $T\in \mathcal{L}_M(X)$ is weakly mixing, is weakly disjoint from a given hypercyclic operator $S$, is not topologically ergodic, and satisfies $(T,T^2,\dotsc,T^k)$ is disjoint hypercyclic for any $k\geq 2$. We also study the typical dynamical properties for the concrete family $\mathcal{M}=\{I+B_w\in \mathcal{L}(X)\colon w\in c_0(\mathbb{Z})\}$, endowed with the norm topology, where $B_w$ is a bilateral weighted backward shift.

A bi-Lipschitz characterization of strong minimum-attainment for Lipschitz maps

We completely characterize the denseness of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions, a minimum analogue for strongly norm-attaining Lipschitz functions, in terms of bi-Lipschitz embeddings. More precisely, our main result shows that the set of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz functions defined on a complete metric space $M$ fails the denseness if and only if $M$ is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to a subset of $\mathbb{R}$ with positive Lebesgue measure, or equivalently, if $M$ admits a bi-Lipschitz embedding into $\mathbb{R}$ and $M$ has positive 1-dimensional Hausdorff measure. As a consequence, we provide an isometric characterization of the pure 1-unrectifiability of $M$ in terms of strongly minimum-attaining Lipschitz maps defined on bi-Lipschitz copies of closed subsets of $M$. Several counterexamples showing that the main result cannot be naturally extended to the vector-valued setting are also presented.

On weak dominance of t-conorms over t-norms

The weak dominance of aggregation operators, particularly between triangular norms (t-norms) and triangular conorms (t-conorms), has attracted considerable attention in aggregation operator theory. While several characterizations have been obtained for Archimedean and continuous cases, a general criterion for continuous t-conorms over continuous t-norms remains to be fully clarified. In this paper, we provide a complete characterization of a continuous t-conorm weakly dominating a continuous t-norm. We first reduce the problem for ordinal sum operators to that for their single Archimedean components, and then express the weak dominance condition entirely in terms of the additive generators of these components. Our approach covers both strict and nilpotent cases uniformly, and recovers the known results for Archimedean operators as a special case.
