Normalized solutions for a fractional Choquard-type equation with exponential critical growth in $\mathbb{R}$

In this paper, we study the following fractional Choquard-type equation with prescribed mass \begin{align*} \begin{cases} (-Δ)^{1/2}u=λu +(I_μ*F(u))f(u),\ \ \mbox{in}\ \mathbb{R}, \displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}}|u|^2 \mathrm{d}x=a^2, \end{cases} \end{align*} where $(-Δ)^{1/2}$ denotes the $1/2$-Laplacian operator, $a>0$, $λ\in \mathbb{R}$, $I_μ(x)=\frac{1}{|x|^μ}$ with $μ\in(0,1)$, $F(u)$ is the primitive function of $f(u)$, and $f$ is a continuous function with exponential critical growth in the sense of the Trudinger-Moser inequality. By using a minimax principle based on the homotopy stable family, we obtain that there is at least one normalized ground state solution to the above equation.

Normalized ground states for a biharmonic Choquard system in $\mathbb{R}^4$

In this paper, we study the existence of normalized ground state solutions for the following biharmonic Choquard system \begin{align*} \begin{split} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} Δ^2u=λ_1 u+(I_μ*F(u,v))F_u (u,v), \quad\mbox{in}\ \ \mathbb{R}^4, Δ^2v=λ_2 v+(I_μ*F(u,v)) F_v(u,v), \quad\mbox{in}\ \ \mathbb{R}^4, \displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}^4}|u|^2dx=a^2,\quad \displaystyle\int_{\mathbb{R}^4}|v|^2dx=b^2,\quad u,v\in H^2(\mathbb{R}^4), \end{array} \right. \end{split} \end{align*} where $a,b>0$ are prescribed, $λ_1,λ_2\in \mathbb{R}$, $I_μ=\frac{1}{|x|^μ}$ with $μ\in (0,4)$, $F_u,F_v$ are partial derivatives of $F$ and $F_u,F_v$ have exponential subcritical or critical growth in the sense of the Adams inequality. By using a minimax principle and analyzing the behavior of the ground state energy with respect to the prescribed mass, we obtain the existence of ground state solutions for the above problem.

In this article, we study the existence of normalized ground state solutions for the following biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with combined nonlinearities \begin{equation*} Δ^2u=λu+μ|u|^{q-2}u+|u|^{p-2}u,\quad \text {in $\mathbb{R}^N$} \end{equation*} having prescribed mass \begin{equation*} \int_{\mathbb{R}^N}|u|^2dx=a^2, \end{equation*} where $N\geq2$, $μ\in \mathbb{R}$, $a>0$, $2 0$, $p=4^*$, and $2<q<2+\frac{8}{N}$. Moreover, we also consider the case $μ=0$ and $μ<0$.

A weighted Adams' inequality in $\mathbb{R}^4$ and applications

In this paper, we establish a weighted Adams' inequality in some appropriate weighted Sobolev space in $\mathbb{R}^4$. Then we give an improvement inequality by proving the concentration-compactness result. In the last part, we consider an application to elliptic equation involving new exponential growth at infinity in $\mathbb{R}^4$.

Offline Stochastic Shortest Path: Learning, Evaluation and Towards Optimality

Goal-oriented Reinforcement Learning, where the agent needs to reach the goal state while simultaneously minimizing the cost, has received significant attention in real-world applications. Its theoretical formulation, stochastic shortest path (SSP), has been intensively researched in the online setting. Nevertheless, it remains understudied when such an online interaction is prohibited and only historical data is provided. In this paper, we consider the offline stochastic shortest path problem when the state space and the action space are finite. We design the simple value iteration-based algorithms for tackling both offline policy evaluation (OPE) and offline policy learning tasks. Notably, our analysis of these simple algorithms yields strong instance-dependent bounds which can imply worst-case bounds that are near-minimax optimal. We hope our study could help illuminate the fundamental statistical limits of the offline SSP problem and motivate further studies beyond the scope of current consideration.

A New Approach to Compute Information Theoretic Outer Bounds and Its Application to Regenerating Codes

The study of the fundamental limits of information systems is a central theme in information theory. Both the traditional analytical approach and the recently proposed computational approach have significant limitations, where the former is mainly due to its reliance on human ingenuity, and the latter due to its exponential memory and computational complexity. In this work, we propose a new computational approach to tackle the problem with much lower memory and computational requirements, which can naturally utilize certain intuitions, but also can maintain the strong computational advantage of the existing computational approach. A reformulation of the underlying optimization problem is first proposed, which converts the large linear program to a maximin problem. This leads to an iterative solving procedure, which uses the LP dual to carry over learned evidence between iterations. The key in the reformulated problem is the selection of good information inequalities, with which a relaxed LP can be formed. A particularly powerful intuition is a potentially optimal code construction, and we provide a method that directly utilizes it in the new algorithm. As an application, we derive a tighter outer bound for the storage-repair tradeoff for the $(6,5,5)$ regenerating code problem, which involves at least 30 random variables and is impossible to compute with the previously known computational approach.

On Top-$k$ Selection from $m$-wise Partial Rankings via Borda Counting

We analyze the performance of the Borda counting algorithm in a non-parametric model. The algorithm needs to utilize probabilistic rankings of the items within $m$-sized subsets to accurately determine which items are the overall top-$k$ items in a total of $n$ items. The Borda counting algorithm simply counts the cumulative scores for each item from these partial ranking observations. This generalizes a previous work of a similar nature by Shah et al. using probabilistic pairwise comparison data. The performance of the Borda counting algorithm critically depends on the associated score separation $Δ_k$ between the $k$-th item and the $(k+1)$-th item. Specifically, we show that if $Δ_k$ is greater than certain value, then the top-$k$ items selected by the algorithm is asymptotically accurate almost surely; if $Δ_k$ is below certain value, then the result will be inaccurate with a constant probability. In the special case of $m=2$, i.e., pairwise comparison, the resultant bound is tighter than that given by Shah et al., leading to a reduced gap between the error probability upper and lower bounds. These results are further extended to the approximate top-$k$ selection setting. Numerical experiments demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the Borda counting algorithm, compared with the spectral MLE-based algorithm, particularly when the data does not necessarily follow an assumed parametric model.

Sign-changing bubble tower solutions for a Paneitz-type problem

This paper is concerned with the following biharmonic problem \begin{equation}\label{ineq} \begin{cases} Δ^2 u=|u|^{\frac{8}{N-4}}u &\text{ in } \ Ω\backslash \overline{B(ξ_0,\varepsilon)}, u=Δu=0 &\text{ on } \ \partial (Ω\backslash \overline{B(ξ_0,\varepsilon)}), \end{cases} \end{equation} where $Ω$ is an open bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^N$, $N\geq 5$, and $B(ξ_0,\varepsilon)$ is a ball centered at $ξ_0$ with radius $\varepsilon$, $\varepsilon$ is a small positive parameter. We obtain the existence of solutions for problem (\ref{ineq}), which is an arbitrary large number of sign-changing solutions whose profile is a superposition of bubbles with alternate sign which concentrate at the center of the hole.

We give some equivalent characterizations of $\mathcal{GP}$, the class of Gorenstein $(\mathcal{L}, \mathcal{A})$-projective modules, and construct some model structures associated to duality pairs and Frobenius pairs. Moreover, some rings are described by Frobenius pairs. Meanwhile, we investigate strongly Gorenstein $(\mathcal{L}, \mathcal{A})$-projective modules and obtain some equivalent characterizations of them. Also, some model structures and recollements associated to strongly Gorenstein $(\mathcal{L}, \mathcal{A})$-projective modules are constructed.

By using the fibering method jointly with Nehari manifold techniques, we obtain the existence of multiple solutions to a fractional $p$-Laplacian system involving critical concave-convex nonlinearities provided that a suitable smallness condition on the parameters involved is assumed. The result is obtained despite there is no general classification for the optimizers of the critical fractional Sobolev embedding.
