The convex cone SC1 SLip(X) of real-valued smooth semi-Lipschitz functions on a Finsler manifold X is an order-algebraic structure that captures both the differentiable and the quasi-metric feature of X. In this work ...

Detect the birth of limit cycles in non-smooth vector fields is a very important matter into the recent theory of dynamical systems and applied sciences. The goal of this paper is to study the bifurcation of limit cycles ...

This paper provides robust estimators for the first canonical correlation and directions of random elements on Hilbert separable spaces by using robust association and scale measures combined with basis expansion and/or ...

The strain smoothing technique over higher order elements and arbitrary polytopes yields less accurate solutions than other techniques such as the conventional polygonal finite element method. In this work, we propose a ...

For a C-2-smooth function on a finite-dimensional space, a necessary condition for its quasiconvexity is the positive semidefiniteness of its Hessian matrix on the subspace orthogonal to its gradient, whereas a sufficient ...

Contraction of cauda epididymal duct (CE) smooth muscle is one of the very first events of the seminal emission phase of ejaculation. The contraction of CE smooth muscle is governed by a complex interaction of hormones, ...

We propose to smooth the entire objective function rather than only the check function in a linear quantile regression context. We derive a uniform Bahadur-Kiefer representation for the resulting convolution-type kernel ...

The Environmental and Economic Dispatch Problem with Valve-Point loading effect representation (EEDP-VP) is a multi-objective, nonconvex and non-differentiable optimization problem. Due to these difficulties, it has been ...

The vascular segment of the caudal vena cava of the dog at the level of the caudate lobe was shown to be intimately related to hepatic tissue through the hepatic capsule and parenchyma. The tunica adventitia of the caudal ...
