Let K be a closed convex cone with dual K^* in a finite-dimensional real inner-product space V. The complementarity set of K is C(K) = { (x, s) in K × K^* | = 0 }. We say that a linear transformation L : V -> V is Lyapunov-like on K if = 0 for all (x, … Read more
In this paper we propose a linear scalarization proximal point algorithm for solving arbitrary lower semicontinuous quasiconvex multiobjective minimization problems. Under some natural assumptions and using the condition that the proximal parameters are bounded we prove the convergence of the sequence generated by the algorithm and when the objective functions are continuous, we prove the … Read more

Medical treatment decisions involve complex tradeoffs between the risks and benefits of various treatment options. The diversity of treatment options that patients can choose over time and uncertainties in future health outcomes, result in a difficult sequential decision making problem. Markov decision processes (MDPs) are commonly used to study medical treatment decisions; however, optimal policies … Read more
