The optimal solution of a geometric program (GP) can be sensitive to variations in the problem data. Robust geometric programming can systematically alleviate the sensitivity problem by explicitly incorporating a model of data uncertainty in a GP and optimizing for the worst-case scenario under this model. However, it is not known whether a general robust GP can be reformulated as a tractable o...

LECTINS, phytagglutinins or seed agglutinins are now in common use in blood typing (cf. BIRD 1959; BOYD 1963). A classical example is lectin from lima beans which selectively agglutinates cells of type A of man in contrast to those of type B or 0. In 1959, BOYD, GREEN, FUJINAGA, DRABIK, and WASZCZENKO-ZACHARCZENKO reported a possible new blood factor in humans detected by an extract of the pean...

Many oncology patients are empowering themselves to self-treat with herbs, nutritional supplements, and mind–body techniques. Other practitioners, such as acupuncturists, are becoming involved in the supportive care of cancer patients. Government research agencies are supporting studies that evaluate complementary therapies. This educational article provides an overview of the challenges in des...

The purpose of this paper is to study several fixed point problems in E-metric spaces. Mainly, we show the existence and uniqueness points for two contractive mappings, including Ćirić type contraction α-ψ Furthermore, provide examples support accuracy our results present an application solution a class differential equations.
