We extend the DuBois–Reymond necessary optimality condition and Noether’s symmetry theorem to the time delay variational setting. Both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian versions of Noether’s theorem are proved, covering problems of the calculus of variations and optimal control with delays.

Many ranking methods have been proposed so far. However, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different ranking for the same situation. For overcoming the above problems, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy quantities based on ...

We prove a necessary optimality condition for isoperimetric problems on time scales in the space of delta-differentiable functions with rdcontinuous derivatives. The results are then applied to Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems on time scales.

Second-order necessary optimality conditions for nonlinear conic programming problems that depend on a single Lagrange multiplier are usually built under nondegeneracy and strict complementarity. In this paper we establish condition of such type two classes problems, namely semidefinite second-order cone programming, assuming Robinson’s constraint qualification weak constant rank-type property ...

Abstract In this paper, we construct a uniformly recurrent infinite word of low complexity without uniform frequencies letters. This shows the optimality bound Boshernitzan, which gives sufficient condition for to admit frequencies.

In this paper, we integrate goal programming (GP), Taylor Series, Kuhn-Tucker conditions and Penalty Function approaches to solve linear fractional bi-level programming (LFBLP)problems. As we know, the Taylor Series is having the property of transforming fractional functions to a polynomial. In the present article by Taylor Series we obtain polynomial objective functions which are equivalent...

The celebrated S-lemma establishes a powerful equivalent condition for the nonnegativity of a quadratic function over a single quadratic inequality. However, this lemma fails without the technical condition, known as the Slater condition. In this paper, we first show that the Slater condition is indeed necessary for the S-lemma and then establishes a regularized form of the S-lemma in the absen...
