In [15], the second author defined algebraic geometric codes over rings. This definition was motivated by two recent trends in coding theory: the study of algebraic geometric codes over finite fields, and the study of codes over rings. In that paper, many of the basic parameters of these new codes were computed. However, the Lee weight, which is very important for codes over the ring Z/4Z, was ...

Using the method of explosive sub and supper solution, the existence and boundary behavior of positive boundary blow up solutions for some quasilinear elliptic systems with singular weight function are obtained under more extensive conditions.

The paper begins in §1 with a foundational discussion of a new notion, that of a semistandard filtration in a highest weight category. The main result is Theorem 1, which says that “multiplicities” of standard modules in such filtration are well-defined. In §2, we specialize to the case of semistandard filtrations of maximal submodules of standard modules. The main result is Theorem 2, which un...

In this paper we consider a class of weighted integral operators on L2(0,∞) and show that they are unitarily equivalent to little Hankel operators between weighted Bergman spaces of the right half plane. We use two parameters α, β ∈ (−1,∞) and involve two weights to define Bergman spaces of the domain and range of the little Hankel operators. We obtained conditions for the Hankel integral opera...

This paper presents a Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) for redundant robotic manipulators. Using NMPC, the end-effector of the robotic manipulator tracks a predefined geometry path in Cartesian space in such a way that no collision with obstacles in the workspace and no singular configurations for the robot occurs. Nonlinear dynamic of the robot, including actuators dynamic, is also co...

We study the Cauchy singular integral operator SwI on (−1, 1), where |w| is a generalized Jacobi weight. This operator is considered in pairs of weighted spaces of continuous functions, where the weights u and v are generalized Jacobi weights with nonnegative exponents such that |w| = u/v. We introduce a certain polynomial approximation space which is well appropriated to serve as domain of def...

Spectral approximations for ODEs in unbounded domains have only received limited attention. In many applicable problems, singular initial value problems arise. In solving these problems, most of numerical methods have difficulties and often could not pass the singular point successfully. In this paper, we apply the sinc-collocation method for solving singular initial value problems. The ability...

Recommended by Pavel Drabek We study existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the following Dirichlet equations: −Δu − μ/|x| 2 u λfx|u| q−2 u gx|u| 2 * −2 u in Ω, u 0 on ∂Ω, where 0 ∈ Ω ⊂ R N N ≥ 3 is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ∂Ω, λ > 0, 0 ≤ μ < μ N − 2 2 /4, 2 * 2N/N − 2, 1 ≤ q < 2, and f, g are continuous functions on Ω which are somewhere positive but which may change...

BACKGROUND Digital self-monitoring, particularly of weight, is increasingly prevalent. The associated data could be reused for clinical and research purposes. OBJECTIVE The aim was to compare participants who use connected smart scale technologies with the general population and explore how use of smart scale technology affects, or is affected by, weight change. METHODS This was a retrospec...
