AbstractPrevious studies showed that the dynamic equations for a porous fluid-saturated solid may lose hyperbolicity and thus render the boundary-value problem ill-posed while the equations for the same but dry solid remain hyperbolic. This paper presents sufficient conditions for hyperbolicity in both dry and saturated states. Fluid-saturated solids are described by two different systems of equations depending on whether the permeability is zero or nonzero (locally undrained and drained conditions, respectively). The paper also introduces a notion of wave speed consistency between the two systems as a necessary condition which must be satisfied in order for the solution in the locally drained case to tend to the undrained solution as the permeability tends to zero. It is shown that the symmetry and positive definiteness of the acoustic tensor of the skeleton guarantee both hyperbolicity and the wave speed consistency of the equations.

AbstractThis paper discusses an active set trust-region algorithm for bound-constrained optimization problems. A sufficient descent condition is used as a computational measure to identify whether the function value is reduced or not. To get our complexity result, a critical measure is used which is computationally better than the other known critical measures. Under the positive definiteness of approximated Hessian matrices restricted to the subspace of non-active variables, it will be shown that unlimited zigzagging cannot occur. It is shown that our algorithm is competitive in comparison with the state-of-the-art solvers for solving an ill-conditioned bound-constrained least-squares problem.

We study the asymptotical properties of indefinite kernel network with coefficient regularization and dependent sampling. The framework under investigation is different from classical kernel learning. Positive definiteness is not required by the kernel function and the samples are allowed to be weakly dependent with the dependence measured by a strong mixing condition. By a new kernel decomposition technique introduced in [27], two reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces and their associated kernel integral operators are used to characterize the properties and learnability of the hypothesis function class. Capacity independent error bounds and learning rates are deduced.
