  • Structural optimization algorithm of steel box girder bridges using improved higher-order approximate reanalysis technique is proposed in this paper. The proposed approximation method is a generalization of the convex approximation method. The order of the approximate reanalysis for each function is analytically adjusted in the optimization process. This self-adjusted capability makes the approximate structural analysis values conservative enough to maintain the optimum design point of the approximate problem. The efficiency of proposed optimazation algorithm, compared with conventional algorithm, is successfully demonstrated in the steel box girder bridges. The efficiency and robustness of proposed algorithm is also demonstrated in practical steel box girder bridges.

  • In this paper, improved power-mean integral inequality, which provides a better approach than power-mean integral inequality, is proved. Using Hölder-İşcan integral inequality and improved power-mean integral inequality, some inequalities of Hadamard's type for functions whose derivatives in absolute value at certain power are quasi-convex are given. In addition, the results obtained are compared with the previous ones. Then, it is shown that the results obtained together with identity are better than those previously obtained.

  • In this paper, we prove Lp estimates of a class of singular integral operators on product domains along surfaces defined by mappings that are more general than polynomials and convex functions. We assume that the kernels are in L(log L)2 (𝕊n-1 × 𝕊m-1). Furthermore, we prove Lp estimates of the related class of Marcinkiewicz integral operators. Our results extend as well as improve previously known results.

  • There have been numerous studies on the characteristics of the solutions of ordinary differential equations for optimization methods, including gradient descent methods and alternating direction methods of multipliers. To investigate computer simulation of ODE solutions, we need to trace pseudo-orbits by real orbits and it is called shadowing property in dynamics. In this paper, we demonstrate that the flow induced by the alternating direction methods of multipliers (ADMM) for a C2 strongly convex objective function has the eventual shadowing property. For the converse, we partially answer that convexity with the eventual shadowing property guarantees a unique minimizer. In contrast, we show that the flow generated by a second-order ODE, which is related to the accelerated version of ADMM, does not have the eventual shadowing property.

  • In this paper, we study analytic and geometric properties of the solution q(z) to the differential equation q(z) + zq'(z)/q(z) = h(z) with the initial condition q(0) = 1 for a given analytic function h(z) on the unit disk |z| < 1 in the complex plane with h(0) = 1. In particular, we investigate the possible largest constant c > 0 such that the condition |Im [zf"(z)/f'(z)]| < c on |z| < 1 implies starlikeness of an analytic function f(z) on |z| < 1 with f(0) = f'(0) - 1 = 0.

  • In this paper, a multiobjective nondifferentiable fractional programming problem (MFP) is considered where the objective function contains a term involving the support function of a compact convex set. A vector valued (generalized) ${\alpha}$-univex function is defined to extend the concept of a real valued (generalized) ${\alpha}$-univex function. Using these functions, sufficient optimality criteria are obtained for a feasible solution of (MFP) to be an efficient or weakly efficient solution of (MFP). Duality results are obtained for a Mond-Weir type dual under (generalized) ${\alpha}$-univexity assumptions.

  • In this paper, making use of symmetric differential operator, we introduce a new class of ℓ-symmetric - mutually adjoint functions. To make this study more comprehensive and versatile, we have used a differential operator involving three-parameter extension of the well-known Mittag-Leffler functions. Mainly we investigated the inclusion relation and subordination conditions which are the main results of the paper. To establish connections or relations with earlier studies, we have presented applications of main results as corollaries.

  • This linear fractional - quadratic bilevel programming problem, in which the leader's objective function is a linear fractional function and the follower's objective function is a quadratic function, is studied in this paper. The leader's and the follower's variables are related by linear constraints. The derivations of the optimality conditions are based on Kuhn-Tucker conditions and the duality theory. It is also shown that the original linear fractional - quadratic bilevel programming problem can be solved by solving a standard linear fractional program and the optimal solution of the original problem can be achieved at one of the extreme point of a convex polyhedral formed by the new feasible region. The algorithm is illustrated with the help of an example.

  • In this paper we define the $L_p$-mixed curvature function of a convex body. We develop a formula connection the support function of $L_p$-mixed projection body with Fourier transform of the $L_p$-mixed curvature function. Using this formula we solve an analog of the Shephard projection problem for $L_p$-mixed projection bodies.

  • The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) has been a popular regression estimator with simultaneous variable selection. However, LASSO does not have the oracle property and its robust version is needed in the case of heavy-tailed errors or serious outliers. We propose a robust penalized regression estimator which provide a simultaneous variable selection and estimator. It is based on the rank regression and the non-convex penalty function, the smoothly clipped absolute deviation (SCAD) function which has the oracle property. The proposed method combines the robustness of the rank regression and the oracle property of the SCAD penalty. We develop an efficient algorithm to compute the proposed estimator that includes a SCAD estimate based on the local linear approximation and the tuning parameter of the penalty function. Our estimate can be obtained by the least absolute deviation method. We used an optimal tuning parameter based on the Bayesian information criterion and the cross validation method. Numerical simulation shows that the proposed estimator is robust and effective to analyze contaminated data.
