    A New Exceptional Family of Elements and Solvability of General Order Complementarity Problems

    By using the concept of exceptional family, we propose a sufficient condition of a solution to general order complementarity problems (denoted by GOCP) in Banach space, which is weaker than that in NĂ©meth, 2010 (Theorem 3.1). Then we study some sufficient conditions for the nonexistence of exceptional family for GOCP in Hilbert space. Moreover, we prove that without exceptional family is a sufficient and necessary condition for the solvability of pseudomonotone general order complementarity problems

    This thesis deals with four different but interrelated topics: variational problems on Euclidean Jordan algebras, complementarity problems on the space of symmetric matrices, angular analysis between two closed convex cones and the central path for symmetric cone linear programming.In the first part of this work we study the concept of “operator commutation” in Euclidean Jordan algebras by providing a commutation principle for variational problems involving spectral data.Our main concern of the second part is the analysis and numerical resolution of a broad class of complementarity problems on spaces of symmetric matrices. The complementarity conditions are expressed in terms of the Loewner ordering or, more generally, with respect to a dual pair of Loewnerian cones.The third part of this work is an attempt to build a general theory of critical angles for a pair of closed convex cones. The angular analysis for a pair of specially structured cones is also covered. For instance, we work with linear subspaces, polyhedral cones, revolution cones, topheavy cones and cones of matrices.The last part of this work focuses on the convergence and the limiting behavior of the central path in symmetric cone linear programming. This is done by using Jordan-algebra techniques.Cette thĂšse concerne quatre thĂšmes apparemment diffĂ©rents, mais en fait intimement liĂ©s : problĂšmes variationnels sur les algĂšbres de Jordan euclidiennes, problĂšmes de complĂ©mentaritĂ© sur l’espace des matrices symĂ©triques, analyse angulaire entre deux cĂŽnes convexes fermĂ©s et analyse du chemin central en programmation conique symĂ©trique.Dans la premiĂšre partie de ce travail, le concept de “commutation au sens opĂ©rationnel” dans les algĂšbres de Jordan euclidiennes est Ă©tudiĂ© en fournissant un principe de commutation pour problĂšmes variationnels avec donnĂ©es spectrales.Dans la deuxiĂšme partie, nous abordons l’analyse et la rĂ©solution numĂ©rique d’une large classe de problĂšmes de complĂ©mentaritĂ© sur l’espace des matrices symĂ©triques. Les conditions de complĂ©mentaritĂ© sont exprimĂ©es en termes de l’ordre de Loewner ou, plus gĂ©nĂ©ralement, en termes d’un cĂŽne du type Loewnerien.La troisiĂšme partie de ce travail est une tentative de construction d’une thĂ©orie gĂ©nĂ©rale des angles critiques pour une paire de cĂŽnes convexes fermĂ©s. L’analyse angulaire pour une paire de cĂŽnes spĂ©cialement structurĂ©s est Ă©galement considĂ©rĂ©e. Par-exemple, nous travaillons avec des sous-espaces linĂ©aires, des cĂŽnes polyĂ©driques, des cĂŽnes de rĂ©volution, des cĂŽnes “topheavy” et des cĂŽnes de matrices.La derniĂšre partie de ce travail Ă©tudie la convergence et le comportement asymptotique du chemin central en programmation conique symĂ©trique. Ceci est fait en utilisant des techniques propres aux algĂšbres de Jordan

    World cinema beyond the periphery : developing film cultures in Bhutan, Mongolia, and Myanmar

    Full text link
    According to UNESCO’s Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity there exists a need in light of the “imbalances in flows and exchanges of cultural goods and services at the global level” to enable “all countries, especially developing countries and countries in transition, to establish cultural industries that are viable and competitive at a national and international level” (2001). The dissertation explores ways in which viable cultural industries can be established in developing countries. More specifically, the focus is on the development of film industries in countries in transition. Three national film industries, examined in light of their historical development and contemporary situation, provide the empirical basis for the dissertation’s claims and arguments. The three developing countries under investigation are Bhutan, Mongolia, and Myanmar, and in each case the study traces the historical trajectory of the relevant film industries leading to the mapping of the recent trends and tendencies. The examination of the individual cases foregrounds industrial and commercial challenges and solutions rather than the aesthetic or stylistic properties of specific films. That is, the study seeks to explore how educational practices, production modes, approaches to distribution and exhibition, and cultural policy measures have facilitated or thwarted the emergence of film industries in three developing countries in the Asian region. The approach taken builds on the call for a more inclusive approach to the study of world cinema (Nagib 2006). Equally important is an analytical approach derived from the field of small national cinema studies, one that underscores the need to explore solutions to problems facing filmmakers in countries sharing similar developmental challenges (Hjort & Petrie 2007). Following this conceptual perspective the study aims firstly, through its historical examination, to contribute to expanding the historiography of world cinema, where little to no attention is given to these largely unexplored national cinema cultures. Secondly, following the mapping of the contemporary situation of the institutional and organizational make-up of the film industries in question, the aim is to identify the systematic challenges and opportunities that are embedded in specific film sectors. The approach is applied with the intention of facilitating a constructive discussion that explores and compares proactive strategies. The point ultimately is to identify models that might be more generally relevant and thus transferable across national boundaries

    Annual Report of the University, 1968-1969, Volumes 1 & 2

    At least once every ten years the University of New Mexico has a chance to see itself as others sec it. The opportunity is provided by its accrediting agency. Routinely every decade, the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools sends a team of scholars and administrators to campus to determine whether the University is maintaining the prerequisites to continuing accreditation as a doctoral degree granting institution. While the examination is scheduled routinely, it is by no means a routine visit. The visitation team probes such areas as curricula, library, finances, administration, day-to-day operations, and long-range plans. Its report, much like that of an auditor, helps provide operational guidelines for succeeding years. The University of New Mexico in 1969 underwent its decennial examination by the North Central Association. The team of visitors prepared a comprehensive report touching on many areas vital to the University\u27s future. Findings of the committee and the University\u27s responses to them serve as the basis for this annual report of the President
