A simplification of a run-relaxed heap, called a relaxed weak queue, is presented. This new priority-queue implementation supports all operations as efficiently as the original: find -min, insert , and decrease (also called decrease-key) in O(1) worst-case time, and delete in O(lg n) worst-case time, n denoting the number of elements stored prior to the operation. These time bounds are valid on...

The micro-scale gas flows are usually low-speed flows and exhibit rarefied gas effects. It is challenging to simulate these flows because traditional CFD method is unable to capture the rarefied gas effects and the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method is very inefficient for low-speed flows. In this study we combine two techniques to improve the efficiency of the DSMC method. The informa...

This paper presents a proximal bundle variant, namely, the relaxed (RPB) method, for solving convex nonsmooth composite optimization problems. Like other variants, R...

Several papers have recently presented results of measurements of physical aging by studying the behavior of glassy materials quenched from temperatures above their glass transition temperature g T . The evolution of the aging process is usually followed by plotting the relaxed enthalpy versus the accompanying decrease in volume. Here, we focus on the slope of such plots, which are found to be ...

This paper investigates the Lyapunov characterizations of input-to-output stability (IOS) and input-to-state (ISS) for nonlinear switched systems. The restriction on negativity derivatives functions is relaxed; additionally, subsystems are not restricted to be ISS/IOS throughout state space. These problems overcome by a newly proposed method, which extends multiple (MLFs) an indefinite form. In...

The relaxatory effect of Vitis vinifera leaf extract on rat uterus has been reported and it was postulated that, the extract relaxed through the blockade of voltage dependent calcium channels. The extract also, relaxed rat aorta through NO and was dependent on the functional endothelium. In the present study, the effect of Vitis vinifera hydroalcoholic leaf extract (VHLE) on rat vas deferens pr...
