We establish the notion of augmented weak sharpness of solution sets for the variational inequality problems which can be abbreviated to VIPs. This notion of augmented weak sharpness is an extension of the weak sharpness of the solution set of monoto...

The classification of a block-transitive designs is an important subject on algebraic combinatorics. With the aid of MATLAB software, using the classification theorem of 3-homogeneous permutation groups, we look at the classification problem of block...

Image interpolation is a basic operation in image processing. Lots of methods have been proposed, including convolution-based methods, edge modeling methods, point spread function (PSF)-based methods or learning-based methods. Most of them, however,...

Dynamical systems play a vital role in studying highly non-linear phenomena. One of the families of the dynamical systems is integer sequences. There is an integer sequence called Q-sequence: Q(n) = Q(n − Q(n − 1)) + Q(n − Q(n − 2)); for n = 3, 4, …;...

The concept of soft sets was initiated by Molodtsov. Then, some operations on soft sets were defined by Maji et al. Later on, the concept of soft topological space was introduced. In this paper, we introduce the concept of the pointwise topology of s...

In this study, a new smoothing nonlinear penalty function for constrained optimization problems is presented. It is proved that the optimal solution of the smoothed penalty problem is an approximate optimal solution of the original problem. Based on...

The importance of early fault detection in electric motors has attracted the attention of research groups, as the detection of incipient faults can prevent damage spreading and increase the lifetime of the motor. At present, studies have focused thei...

Firstly, an SEIR mathematical model with standard incidence rate is established to describe the transmission of Hand-Foot-Mouth disease (HFMD). The equilibrium of the nondimensionalized model is calculated and the basic reproduction number of the mod...

This paper represents a new image encryption algorithm based on modifying generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) by decomposing the plain-image into two segments using GSVD with an exchanged key-image to produce the cipher-image. The exchang...
