Abstract. Two ice cores were retrieved from high elevations (~5800 m a.s.l.) at Mt. Nyainqêntanglha and Geladaindong in the southern central Tibetan Plateau region. The combined tracer analysis of tritium (3H), 210Pb mercury, along with other chemical records, provided multiple lines evidence supporting that two coring sites had not received net accumulation since least 1950s 1980s, respectively. These results implied an annual loss rate more than several hundred millimeter water equivalent...

Abstract Understanding past atmospheric dust variability is necessary to put modern into historical context and assess the impacts of on climate. In Asia, meteorological data temporally limited, beginning only in 1950s. High‐resolution ice cores provide ideal archive for reconstructing preinstrumental concentrations. Using a ~500 year (1477–1982 A.D.) annually resolved calcium (Ca) proxy from Tibetan Plateau (TP) core, we demonstrate lowest concentrations years during latter twentieth...

Terrestrial net primary production (NPP), the balance of gross (GPP) and autotrophic respiration (AR), is a critical measure carbon sequestration capacity for Earth's land surface. The aim this study was to understand spatio-temporal variability NPP associated with GPP AR in Yangtze River Basin (YRB), China, from 2000 2009 during which basin warmed significantly. We first derived carbon-use efficiency (CUE) improved Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer GPP/NPP products (MOD17) then...

In autumn 2005, a joint expedition between the University of Maine and Institute Tibetan Plateau Research recovered three ice cores from Guoqu Glacier (33°34′37.8″N, 91°10′35.3″E, 5720 m above sea level) on northern side Mt. Geladaindong, central Plateau. Isotopes ( δ 18 O), major soluble ions (Na + , K Mg 2+ Ca Cl − NO 3 SO 4 2− ), radionuclide β ‐activity) measurements one revealed 70‐year record (1935–2005). Statistical analysis ion time series suggests that atmospheric dust species...

.Strong variational sufficiency is a newly proposed property, which turns out to be of great use in the convergence analysis multiplier methods. However, what this property implies for nonpolyhedral problems remains puzzle. In paper, we prove equivalence between strong and second-order sufficient condition (SOSC) nonlinear semidefinite programming (NLSDP) without requiring uniqueness or any other constraint qualifications. Based on characterization, local augmented Lagrangian method (ALM)...

Undirected graphical models have been especially popular for learning the conditional independence structure among a large number of variables where observations are drawn independently and identically from same distribution. However, many modern statistical problems would involve categorical data or time-varying data, which might follow different but related underlying distributions. In order to learn collection simultaneously, various joint inducing sparsity in graphs similarity across...

We consider the problem of learning a graph under Laplacian constraint with non-convex penalty: minimax concave penalty (MCP). For solving MCP penalized graphical model, we design an inexact proximal difference-of-convex algorithm (DCA) and prove its convergence to critical points. note that each subproblem DCA enjoys nice property objective function in dual is continuously differentiable semismooth gradient. Therefore, apply efficient Newton method subproblems DCA. Numerical experiments on...

We consider the problem of jointly learning row-wise and column-wise dependencies matrix-variate observations, which are modelled separately by two precision matrices. Due to complicated structure Kronecker-product matrices in commonly used Gaussian graphical models, a sparser Kronecker-sum was proposed recently based on Cartesian product graphs. However, existing methods for estimating structured do not scale well large datasets. In this paper, we introduce DNNLasso, diagonally non-negative...

Common clustering methods, such as $k$-means and convex clustering, group similar vector-valued observations into clusters. However, with the increasing prevalence of matrix-valued observations, which often exhibit low rank characteristics, there is a growing need for specialized techniques these data types. In this paper, we propose model tailored observations. Our approach extends originally designed to classify Additionally, it serves relaxation method proposed by Z. Lyu, D. Xia...

Recently, the square root principal component pursuit (SRPCP) model has garnered significant research interest. It is shown in literature that SRPCP guarantees robust matrix recovery with a universal, constant penalty parameter. While its statistical advantages are well-documented, computational aspects from an optimization perspective remain largely unexplored. In this paper, we focus on developing efficient algorithms for solving problem. Specifically, propose tuning-free alternating...

Square-root (loss) regularized models have recently become popular in linear regression due to their nice statistical properties. Moreover, some of these can be interpreted as the distributionally robust optimization counterparts traditional least-squares models. In this paper, we give a unified proof show that any square-root model whose penalty function being sum simple norm and seminorm (DRO) formulation corresponding problem. particular, optimal transport cost DRO is given by certain...

The Riemannian Augmented Lagrangian Method (RALM), a recently proposed algorithm for nonsmooth optimization problems on manifolds, has consistently exhibited high efficiency as evidenced in prior studies \cite{ZBDZ21,ZBD22}. It often demonstrates rapid local linear convergence rate. However, comprehensive analysis of the RALM under more realistic assumptions, notably without imposition uniqueness assumption multiplier, remains an uncharted territory. In this paper, we introduce manifold...
