Summer Note 2-The Adjoint Method

The outline can be listed below:
1. The bounded linear operator, and the continuity definition of a linear operator, which is equivalent to: bounded or continuous at the origin.
2. The dual space, which is defined as a real bounded linear function.  The adjoint operator definition:
Let T:X \to Y be a bounded linear operator between Banach spaces X and Y.  The adjoint operator T^{*} : X^{*} \to Y^{*} can be constructed as: T^{*} (F)(x)=F(T(x)) for all x\in X, F\in Y^*
Because every bounded linear operator over a Banach space X can be reconsidered as inner product:
F(x)=<x,y>for all x\in X and ||F||=||y|| Here y is only linked with F.
So it is a comparatively simple step to define the inner product form of an adjoint operator y^* instead of the function formT^*:
F_T(x):=<T(x),y>=<x,y^*> for all x\in H
3. The differentiability definition in a Banach Space:

Gateaux differentiable at x_0

DT(x_0;h):=\lim_{\epsilon \to 0} \frac{T(x_0+\epsilon h)-T(x_0)}{\epsilon}

Frechet differentiable:

\lim_{||\delta x||\to 0}\frac{||T(x_0+\delta x)-T(x)-T'(x_0)\delta x||}{||\delta x||}=0

They are equal when the two equations exist on all x,\delta x \in X

The partial Frechet derivative D_x(x_0,y)of an operator:

\lim_{||\delta x|| \to 0}\frac{||U(x_0+\delta x,y)-U(x_0,y)-D_x(x_0,y)(\delta x)||}{||\delta x||}=0

Because the differentiability is defined by limit equations, the notion of the chain rule applies to operators that are continuously Frechet differentiable.

Then it comes the optimal question, I had the problem on figuring out the two functions given: J(\rho,\lambda),E(\rho,\lambda)J(\rho,\lambda)is the cost function and E(\rho,\lambda)=0 is the solution of \frac{\partial \rho(x,t)}{\partial t}+\frac{\partial}{\partial x}(v(\rho)\rho(x,t))=0 with conditions.

Because \rho is a function of \lambda, J(\rho,\lambda) can be seen as j(\lambda).  Then the book gives 3 conditions assumed, which assume everything is continuously Frechet differentiable.  I have some problems here.  I can’t understand how he find these 3 assumptions.  Hope it will be clear when I reading the calculation part.

I should look up the details on Lagrangian operator.  The only thing I know in calculating minimum is Lagrange multipliers.  Which is said not work during the semiconductor factory problem.  I will update the Algorithm For Solving when I am ready.

引子

这几天事情很多,3天前林说了新加坡现在的状态,让我很无奈。2天前N说了下现在的英国状态,让我更无奈。客观上某个国家的状况会直接影响我的判断,因为我并没有想好我到底要读什么,我只是想着,只要一个比上海平静的地方,过着比民工高级的生活,享受着比屁民更好的福利,就行了。当强烈经济衰退和华人歧视摆在眼前的时候,我就会退缩,因为这些决定不是灵魂决定的,是物质取向的。

今天牛又有一篇老长的文章对数学系的抱怨。的确,三年了,我根本不知道自己要什么,也不知道自己该怎么做。N暑假在家,每天早晨5点起床,就是为了多读一本书,那么OK,我明天也5点起床好了,那么我该读哪本书呢?真的,想不出来,我该读哪本书。除了GRE和Toefl摆在眼前,我必须要背单词,除了这个,我真不知道,自己该读什么,该看什么,该学什么。
