Let $V$ be a full flag, $\lambda$ a partition. Consider $$\sigma_\lambda(V) = \{ \Lambda \in G(k,n): \Lambda \cap V_{n-k+i-\lambda_i} \geq i \}.$$ If you have another full flag $V'$, are $\sigma_\lambda(V)$ and $\sigma_\lambda(V')$ isomorphic to each other? It seems that in intersection theory, they only care about the...
I am finding a Cauchy point to minimize a quadratic problem using gradient projection method. And I get a trouble reading this equation. $x(t) = x(t_{j−1}) + ∆t*p_{j−1}$ where $∆t=t_{j}-t_{j-1}$. For example let us say that $t_{j-1}=0.0024$. Then what does $x(t_{j−1})=x(0.0024)$ mean and how do I compute it?
