In this article, we focus on the problem of minimizing sum convex cost functions in a distributed fashion over peer-to-peer network. particular, are interested case which communications between nodes prone to failures, and agents not synchronized among themselves. We address proposing modified version relaxed alternating direction method multipliers, corresponds Peaceman-Rachford splitting appl...

We prove convergence for the nonoverlapping Robin--Robin method applied to nonlinear elliptic equations with a $p$-structure, including degenerate diffusion governed by $p$-Laplacian. This domain decomposition is commonly encountered when discretizing equations, as it enables usage of parallel and distributed hardware. Convergence has been derived in various linear contexts, but little proven e...

The minimum cut problem, MC, and the special case of vertex separator consists in partitioning set nodes a graph G into k subsets given sizes order to minimize number edges after removing k-th set. Previous work on approximate solutions uses, increasing strength expense: eigenvalue, semidefinite programming, SDP, doubly nonnegative, DNN, bounding techniques. In this paper, we derive strengthene...

BACKGROUND The association between excess body weight, impairment of health and different co-morbidities is well recognized; however, little is known on how excess body weight may affect the quality of life in the general population. Our study investigates the relationship between perceived health-related quality of life (HRQL) and body mass index (BMI) in the urban population of Belgrade. ME...

Ultraviolet (UV) exposure significantly contributes to non-melanoma skin cancer. In the context of health, UV is product time and Index (UVI), a weighted sum irradiance I(λ) over all wavelengths from λ = 250 400 nm. our analysis United States Environmental Protection Agency’s UV-Net database 400,000 spectral measurements taken several years, we found that UVI well estimated by 77 I310. To furth...

BACKGROUND Acquired brain injury (ABI), often arising from stroke or trauma, is a common cause of long-term disability, physical inactivity and poor health outcomes globally. Individuals with ABI face many barriers to increasing physical activity, such as impaired mobility, access to services and knowledge regarding management of physical activity. Self-management programmes aim to build skills...

BACKGROUND Because people care about their weight relative to peers and society, obesity inequality plays a role in explaining obesity incidence and the impacts of being obese on subjective well-being. While the increase in obesity prevalence and mean body mass index (BMI) is well documented, the measurement of distributional changes and corresponding obesity inequality is yet to be fully explo...
