When implementing a nonlinear constraint in quantum field theory by means of Lagrange multiplier, $\ensuremath{\lambda}(x)$, it is often the case that dynamics induce quadratic and even higher-order terms which then does not enforce anymore. This illustrated unimodular gravity, where metric tensor has to be ($g(x)\ensuremath{\equiv}\mathrm{det}\text{ }{g}_{\ensuremath{\mu}\ensuremath{\nu}}(x)=\...

‎In this paper, using the idea of convexificators, we study boundedness and nonemptiness of Lagrange multipliers satisfying the first order necessary conditions. We consider a class of nons- mooth fractional programming problems with equality, inequality constraints and an arbitrary set constraint. Within this context, define generalized Mangasarian-Fromovitz constraint qualification and sh...

In this paper mixed finite element methods of higher-order for time-dependent contact problems are discussed. The mixed methods are based on resolving the contact conditions by the introduction of Lagrange multipliers. Dynamic Signorini problems with and without friction are considered involving thermomechanical and rolling contact. Rothe’s method is used to provide a suitable time and space di...

In modern DSL systems, multi-user crosstalk is the major source of performance degradation. Optimal Spectrum Balancing (OSB) is a centralized algorithm that optimally allocates the available transmit power over frequencies, thereby mitigating the effect of crosstalk. OSB uses Lagrange multipliers to enforce constraints that are coupled over frequencies. However, finding the optimal Lagrange mul...

In this paper, cross entropy method is used for solving dual Lagrange support vector machine (SVM). Cross entropy (CE) method is a new practical approach which is widely used in some applications such as combinatorial optimization, learning algorithm and simulation. Our approach refers to Kernel Adatron which is solving dual Lagrange SVM using gradient ascent method. Hereby, the cross entropy m...

This paper proposes low-complexity blind detection for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems with the differential space-time block code (DSTBC) under time-varying frequencyselective Rayleigh fading. The detector employs the maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) in cooperation with the blind linear prediction (BLP), of which prediction coefficients are determined by ...

We study the convergence of the finite element method with Lagrange multipliers for approximately solving the Dirichlet problem for a second-order elliptic equation in a plane domain with piecewise smooth boundary. Assuming mesh refinements around the corners, we construct families of boundary subspaces that are compatible with triangular Lagrange elements in the interior, and we carry out the ...

We consider the so-called Babuska method of finite elements with Lagrange multipliers for numerically solving the problem Au = f in il, u = g on 3Í2, iî C Rn, 7i > 2. We state a number of local conditions from which we prove the uniform stability of the Lagrange multiplier method in terms of a weighted, mesh-dependent norm. The stability conditions given weaken the conditions known so far and a...
