Equilibrium states and their entropy densities in gauge-invariant C*-systems
A gauge-invariant C*-system is obtained as the fixed point subalgebra of the
infinite tensor product of full matrix algebras under the tensor product
unitary action of a compact group. In the paper, thermodynamics is studied on
such systems and the chemical potential theory developed by Araki, Haag,
Kastler and Takesaki is used. As a generalization of quantum spin system, the
equivalence of the KMS condition, the Gibbs condition and the variational
principle is shown for translation-invariant states. The entropy density of
extremal equilibrium states is also investigated in relation to macroscopic
uniformity.Comment: 20 pages, revised in March 200
On magnetic leaf-wise intersections
In this article we introduce the notion of a magnetic leaf-wise intersection
point which is a generalization of the leaf-wise intersection point with
magnetic effects. We also prove the existence of magnetic leaf-wise
intersection points under certain topological assumptions.Comment: 43 page
Necessary and sufficient condition on global optimality without convexity and second order differentiability
The main goal of this paper is to give a necessary and sufficient condition
of global optimality for unconstrained optimization problems, when the objective
function is not necessarily convex. We use GĂąteaux differentiability of the objective
function and its bidual (the latter is known from convex analysis)
Scalar Representation and Conjugation of Set-Valued Functions
To a function with values in the power set of a pre-ordered, separated
locally convex space a family of scalarizations is given which completely
characterizes the original function. A concept of a Legendre-Fenchel conjugate
for set-valued functions is introduced and identified with the conjugates of
the scalarizations. Using this conjugate, weak and strong duality results are
proven.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1012.435
Free energy density for mean field perturbation of states of a one-dimensional spin chain
Motivated by recent developments on large deviations in states of the spin
chain, we reconsider the work of Petz, Raggio and Verbeure in 1989 on the
variational expression of free energy density in the presence of a mean field
type perturbation. We extend their results from the product state case to the
Gibbs state case in the setting of translation-invariant interactions of finite
range. In the special case of a locally faithful quantum Markov state, we
clarify the relation between two different kinds of free energy densities (or
pressure functions).Comment: 29 pages, Section 5 added, to appear in Rev. Math. Phy
A forward-backward splitting algorithm for the minimization of non-smooth convex functionals in Banach space
We consider the task of computing an approximate minimizer of the sum of a
smooth and non-smooth convex functional, respectively, in Banach space.
Motivated by the classical forward-backward splitting method for the
subgradients in Hilbert space, we propose a generalization which involves the
iterative solution of simpler subproblems. Descent and convergence properties
of this new algorithm are studied. Furthermore, the results are applied to the
minimization of Tikhonov-functionals associated with linear inverse problems
and semi-norm penalization in Banach spaces. With the help of
Bregman-Taylor-distance estimates, rates of convergence for the
forward-backward splitting procedure are obtained. Examples which demonstrate
the applicability are given, in particular, a generalization of the iterative
soft-thresholding method by Daubechies, Defrise and De Mol to Banach spaces as
well as total-variation based image restoration in higher dimensions are
presented
