By a convex mode of convergence to infinity 〈Ck〉, we mean a sequence of nonempty closed convex subsets of a normed linear space X such that for each k, Ck+1 ⊆ int Ck and and a sequence 〈xn〉 is X is declared convergent to infinity with respect to 〈Ck〉 provided each Ck contains xn eventually. Positive convergence to infinity with respect to a pointed cone with nonempty interior as well as convergence to infinity in a fixed direction fit within this framework.

In this paper, a new method is proposed for finding an optimal solution to a Quasi-Concave Quadratic Programming Problem with Bounded Variables in which the objective function involves the product of two indefinite factorized linear functions and constraints functions are in the form of linear inequalities. The proposed method is mainly based upon the primal dual simplex method. The Linear Programming with Bounded Variables (LPBV) algorithm is extended to solve quasi-concave Quadratic Programming with Bounded Variables (QPBV).

We investigate the stability of isomorphisms acting between interpolation spaces generated by the method of means. We focus on the methods which are determined by balanced sequences for non-degenerate quasi-concave functions. The key point for our investigation is that these methods have orbital description by a single element generated by a special ideal of operators between Banach couples. We prove that if an operator is invertible in one orbit it is also invertible by nearby orbits provided that the corresponding indices of quasi-concave functions generated these orbits are close to each ot

Current neural network architectures have no mechanism for explicitly reasoning about item trade-offs. Such trade-offs are important for popular tasks such as recommendation. The main idea of this work is to give neural networks inductive biases that are inspired by economic theories. To this end, we propose Neural Utility Functions, which directly optimize the gradients of a neural network so that they are more consistent with utility theory, a mathematical framework for modeling choice among items. We demonstrate that Neural Utility Functions can recover theoretical item relationships better
