The Drinfel’d Lagrangian Grassmannian compactifies the space of algebraic maps of fixed degree from the projective line into the Lagrangian Grassmannian. It has a natural projective embedding arising from the canonical embedding of the Lagrangian Grassmannian. We show that the defining ideal of any Schubert subvariety of the Drinfel’d Lagrangian Grassmannian is generated by polynomials which gi...

In this paper we study nonlinear Lagrangian functions for constrained optimization problems which are, in general, nonlinear with respect to the objective function. We establish an equivalence between two types of zero duality gap properties, which are described using augmented Lagrangian dual functions and nonlinear Lagrangian dual functions, respectively. Furthermore, we show the existence of...

Experimentalists now measure intense rotations of Lagrangian particles in turbulent flows by tracking their trajectories and Lagrangian-average velocity gradients at high Reynolds numbers. This paper formulates the dynamics of an orthonormal frame attached to each Lagrangian fluid particle undergoing three-axis rotations, by using quaternions in combination with Ertel's theorem for frozen-in vo...

The augmented Lagrangian method is a popular method for solving linearly constrained convex minimization problem and has been used many applications. In recently, the accelerated version of augmented Lagrangian method was developed. The augmented Lagrangian method has the subproblem and dose not have the closed form solution in general. In this talk, we propose the inexact version of accelerate...

Lagrangian spheres in the symplectic Del Pezzo surfaces arising as blow-ups of CP in 4 or fewer points are classified up to Lagrangian isotopy. Unlike the case of the 5-point blow-up, there is no Lagrangian knotting.

In this work, we establish new rigidity results for the Maslov class of Lagrangian submanifolds in large classes of closed and convex symplectic manifolds. Our main result establishes upper bounds for the minimal Maslov number of displaceable Lagrangian submanifolds which are product manifolds whose factors each admit a metric of negative sectional curvature. Such Lagrangian submanifolds exist ...
