The selection of input and output variables is a key step in evaluating the relative efficiency of decision- making units (DMUs) in data envelopment analysis (DEA). In this paper, we present a methodology based on Monte ...

In this paper we study sufficient local conditions for the existence of non-trivial solution to a critical equation for the p(x)-Laplacian where the critical term is placed as a source through the boundary of the domain. ...

In this paper, we study the critical Sobolev embeddings W1,p(.)(Ω)⊂Lp*(.)(Ω) for variable exponent Sobolev spaces from the point of view of the Γ-convergence. More precisely we determine the Γ-limit of subcritical approximation ...

A general strategy for global phase equilibrium calculations (GPEC) in binary mixtures is presented in this work along with specific methods for calculation of the different parts involved. A Newton procedure using ...

The purpose of this paper is to formulate sufficient existence conditions for a critical equation involving the p(x)-Laplacian of the form (0.1) below posed in RN. This equation is critical in the sense that the source ...

The critical power model has been utilized to estimate the anaerobic and aerobic capacities in swimming. There are studies which evidence the applicability of swimming velocity, force during tethered swimming and stroke ...

In this paper, we study the Sobolev trace Theorem for variable exponent spaces with critical exponents. We find conditions on the best constant in order to guaranty the existence of extremals. Then, we give local conditions ...

The location of invariant tori for a two-dimensional Hamiltonian mapping exhibiting mixed phase space is discussed. The phase space of the mapping shows a large chaotic sea surrounding periodic islands and limited by a set ...
