At its core, continuity implies that small changes in the input of a function result in small changes in its output. More ...

Given a separated dual system (E, E'), the Fenchel transform determines a pairing of the convex functions on E with the convex functions on E'. This operation is shown to have a continuity property.

Given x 0 , a point of a convex subset C of a Euclidean space, the two following statements are proven to be equivalent: (i) every convex function f : C → ℝ is upper semi-continuous at x 0 , and (ii) ...

The benchmark tests show that the noise-free realization of QA can significantly outperform state-of-the-art classical algorithms. Quantum annealing (QA) is a cutting-edge algorithm that leverages the ...
