Recent Developments in Discrete Event Systems
This article is a brief exposure of the process approach to a newly emerging area called "discrete event systems" in control theory and summarizes some of the recent developments in this area. Discrete event systems is an area of research that is developing within the interstices of computer, control and communication sciences. The basic direction of research addresses issues in the analysis an...
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS On Infimal Convolution of M-Convex Functions
The infimal convolution of M-convex functions is M-convex. This is a fundamental fact in discrete convex analysis that is often useful in its application to mathematical economics and game theory. M-convexity and its variant called M-convexity are closely related to gross substitutability, and the infimal convolution operation corresponds to an aggregation. This note provides a succinct descrip...
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS Discrete Hessian Matrix for L-convex Functions
L-convex functions are nonlinear discrete functions on integer points that are computationally tractable in optimization. In this paper, a discrete Hessian matrix and a local quadratic expansion are defined for L-convex functions. We characterize L-convex functions in terms of the discrete Hessian matrix and the local quadratic expansion.
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS Discrete L-/M-Convex Function Minimization Based on Continuous Relaxation
We consider the problem of minimizing a nonlinear discrete function with L-/M-convexity proposed in the theory of discrete convex analysis. For this problem, steepest descent algorithms and steepest descent scaling algorithms are known. In this paper, we use continuous relaxation approach which minimizes the continuous variable version first in order to find a good initial solution of a steepes...
متن کاملMATHEMATICAL ENGINEERING TECHNICAL REPORTS Discrete Fixed Point Theorem Reconsidered
The aim of this note is to indicate an example that demonstrates the incorrectness of Iimura’s discrete fixed point theorem [J. Mathematical Economics 39 (2003) 725] and to present a corrected statement using the concept of integrally convex sets.
