Generalized parameter-free duality models in discrete minmax fractional programming based on second-order optimality conditions

This article discusses the construction of six generalized second-order parameter-free duality models, and proves several weak, strong, and strict converse duality theorems for a discrete minmax fractional programming problem using two partitioning schemes and various types of generalized second-order (ℱ, β, ɸ, 𝜌, θ, 𝑚)-univexity assumptions.

Loitering at the hilltop on exterior domains (open access)

Loitering at the hilltop on exterior domains

In this article, the author proves the existence of an infinite number of radial solutions of Δu+f(u)=0 on the exterior of the ball of radius R>0 centered at the origin and f is odd with f<0 on (0,β), f>0 on (β,δ), and f≡0 for u>δ. The primitive F(u)=∫u0f(t)dt has a "hilltop" at u=δ which allows one to use the shooting method and ODE techniques to prove the existence of solutions.
