In this paper, motivated by a result due to Champion [Math. Program.99, 2004], we introduce a property $${\mathcal{D}(y)}$$ for a conic quasi-convex vector-valued function in a general normed space. We prove that this property $${\mathcal{D}(y)}$$ characterizes the zero duality gap for a class...

A map Î¸:Aâ†’B between algebras A and B is called n-multiplicative if Î¸(a1a2â‹¯an)=Î¸(a1) Î¸(a2)â‹¯Î¸(an) for all elements a1,a2,â€¦,anâˆˆA. If Î¸ is also linear then it is called an n-homomorphism. This notion is an extension of a homomorphism. We obtain some...

The article discusses the ways three planes intersect in a point. Using linear algebra, the answer to the topic lies on linearly independent three equations, according to the authors. To attack the problem, the authors used geometric approach and techniques from Calculus III. They highlight the...
