In this paper we examine optimization problems involving multidimensional nonsmooth integral functionals defined on Sobolev spaces. We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality in convex, finite dimensional problems using techniques from convex analysis and in nonconvex, finite dimensional problems, using the subdifferential of Clarke. We also consider problems with infinite dimensional state space and we finally present two examples.

We characterize the necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality in discrete-time, infinite-horizon optimization problems with a state space of finite or infinite dimension. It is well known that the challenging task in this problem is to prove the necessity of the transversality condition. To do this, we follow a duality approach in an abstract linear space. Our proof resembles that of Kamihigashi (2003), but does not explicitly use results from real analysis. As an application, we formalize Sims's argument that the no-Ponzi constraint on the government budget follows from the necessity of the tranversality condition for optimal consumption.

We prove that Nichols algebras of irreducible Yetter–Drinfeld modules over classical Weyl groups A ⋊ 𝕊nsupported by 𝕊nare infinite dimensional, except in three cases. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for Nichols algebras of Yetter–Drinfeld modules over classical Weyl groups A ⋊ 𝕊nsupported by A to be finite dimensional.

Abstract In a Hilbert space setting, necessary and sufficient conditions for the minimum norm solution u to the equation Su = Rz to be continuously dependent on z are given. These conditions are used to study the continuity of minimum energy and linear-quadratic control problems for infinite dimensional linear systems with fixed endpoints.

Let F be a local field with ring of integers and unique prime ideal (p). Suppose that V a finite-dimensional regular quadratic space over F, W and W′ are two isometric subspaces of V (i.e. τ: W → W′ is an isometry from W to W′). By the well-known Witt's Theorem, τ can always be extended to an isometry σ ∈ O(V).The integral analogue of this theorem has been solved over non-dyadic local fields by James and Rosenzweig [2], over the 2-adic fields by Trojan [4], and partially over the dyadics by Hsia [1], all for the special case that W is a line. In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions that two arbitrary dimensional subspaces W and W′ are integrally equivalent over non-dyadic local fields.

AbstractLet G be a finite group, let k be a field and let R be a finite dimensional fully G-graded k-algebra. Also let L be a completely reducible R-module and let P be a projective cover of R. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for P|R1 to be a projective cover of L|R1 in Mod (R1). In particular, this happens if and only if L is R1-projective. Some consequences in finite group representation theory are deduced.

Let Γ.𝒜 be the semi-direct product group of a nuclear Lie group Γ with the additive group 𝒜 of a real nuclear vector space. We give an explicit description of all the continuous representations of Γ.𝒜 the restriction of which to 𝒜 is a cyclic unitary representation, and a necessary and sufficient condition for the unitarity of such cylindrical representations is stated. This general result is successfully used to obtain irreducible unitary representations of the nuclear Lie groups of Riemannian motions, and, in the setting of the theory of multiplicative distributions initiated by I.M. Gelfand, it is proved that for any connected real finite dimensional Lie groupGand for any strictly positive integerkthere exist non located and non trivially decomposable representations of orderkof the nuclear Lie group(M;G) of all theG-valued test-functions on a given paracompact manifoldM.

Low-rank matrix recovery (LMR) is a rank minimization problem subject to linear equality constraints, and it arises in many fields such as signal and image processing, statistics, computer vision, and system identification and control. This class of optimization problems is generally𝒩𝒫hard. A popular approach replaces the rank function with the nuclear norm of the matrix variable. In this paper, we extend and characterize the concept ofs-goodness for a sensing matrix in sparse signal recovery (proposed by Juditsky and Nemirovski (Math Program, 2011)) to linear transformations in LMR. Using the two characteristics-goodness constants,γsandγ^s, of a linear transformation, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a linear transformation to bes-good. Moreover, we establish the equivalence ofs-goodness and the null space properties. Therefore,s-goodness is a necessary and sufficient condition for exacts-rank matrix recovery via the nuclear norm minimization.

Under suitable assumptions we establish the formulas for calculating generalised gradients and generalised directional derivatives in the Clarke sense of the supremum and the infimum of an infinite family of Lipschitz functions. From these results we derive the results ensuring such a supremum or infimum are an invex function when all functions of the invex. Applying these results to a class of mathematical programs, we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality.
