Abstract

In this paper we consider a fluid-structure interaction problem given by the steady Navier Stokes equations coupled with linear elasticity taken from [Lasiecka, Szulc, and Zochoswki, Nonl. Anal.: Real World Appl., 44, 2018]. An elastic body surrounded by a liquid in a rectangular domain is deformed by the flow which can be controlled by the Dirichlet boundary condition at the inlet. On the walls along the channel homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions and on the outflow boundary do-nothing conditions are prescribed. We recall existence results for the nonlinear system from that reference and analyze the control to state mapping generalizing the results of [Wollner and Wick, J. Math. Fluid Mech., 21, 2019] to the setting of the nonlinear Navier-Stokes equation for the fluid and the situation of mixed boundary conditions in a domain with corners.

On the stability of proximal operators in Wasserstein spaces under different notions of convexity

The proximal operator is a fundamental tool in variational analysis and optimization. In the setting of a Hilbert space, given a proper, lower semicontinuous convex functional, its proximal operator is non-expansive, that is, 1-Lipschitz continuous. In the Wasserstein setting, the contraction properties of this operator have been investigated from different perspectives by Carlen and Craig and by Adve and Mészáros, among others, and are not completely understood. In this paper, we study the stability properties of proximal maps, with a particular focus on non-expansivity, under various notions of convexity of the functional that can be considered in the Wasserstein space.

Symmetry-dependence in Rounding of a Convex Body

The symmetry measure of a convex body $S\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ is given by: $\mathrm{sym}(S):=\max\{α\ge0:\text{ there exists }x\in S\text{ such that }-α(S-x)\subseteq S-x\}$, where such an $x$ is called a Minkowski center. We prove that every convex body $S$ admits a $\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}$-rounding of $S$, namely, there exists an origin-centered ellipsoid $E$ and a center $c$ such that $E\subseteq S-c\subseteq\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}\,E$. This result was conjectured in 2005 by Belloni and Freund. As special cases, this recovers an $n$-rounding of $S$ (since $\mathrm{sym}(S)\ge\frac{1}{n}$), and a $\sqrt{n}$-rounding when $\mathrm{sym}(S)=1$. In the case when $S$ is a polytope given as the convex hull of points, the desired rounding is produced by a regularized minimum-volume covering ellipsoid problem where the regularization is with respect to the Minkowski center. Similarly, when $S$ is a polytope given as the intersection of halfspaces, such a rounding is produced by a regularized maximum-volume inscribed ellipsoid problem. In both of these cases, the rounding can be computed by first solving a linear optimization problem (to compute $\mathrm{sym}(S)$ and a Minkowski center), and then solving a convex optimization problem with a logarithmic determinant objective, second-order cone constraints, and one semidefinite cone constraint. We also show that the factor $\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}$ is nearly tight in its dependence on dimension and symmetry. When $\frac{n+1}{1+\mathrm{sym}(S)}$ is an integer, we show by explicit construction that the factor $\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}$ is tight. In the more general case, for every dimension $n$ and every admissible symmetry value, we construct a polytope $S$ for which every rounding factor is at least $\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}\sqrt{\frac{n}{\mathrm{sym}(S)}}$.

Improving the Last-Iterate Guarantees of Anytime Algorithms for Stochastic Monotone Variational Inequalities

We analyze a stochastic algorithm with Halpern-type anchoring for constrained convex-concave problems and monotone variational inequalities. This single-loop and single-call algorithm uses one unbiased sample of the gradient operator at every iteration, to be applicable to monotone games with noisy feedback. With $t$ denoting the iteration counter, we prove an anytime last-iterate convergence rate of $O(t^{-1/4})$ for both the gradient-mapping norm and restricted gap, bypassing the $O(t^{-1/5})$ constrained-anytime bottleneck in the literature. Specializing then to multi-point oracles, we use variance reduction to achieve the $O(t^{-1/2})$ rate with an anytime single-loop algorithm using $2$ samples per iteration. Our results allow constrained problems with a potentially unbounded feasible set; as well as a structured class of stochastic oracles whose variance need not be uniformly bounded.
