In optimization, the notion of a partly smooth objective function is powerful for applications in algorithmic convergence and postoptimality analysis, yet complex to define. A shift focus first-order optimality conditions reduces concept simple constant-rank condition. this view, partial smoothness extends more general variational systems, encompassing particular saddlepoint operators underlyin...

The importance of recycling and utilization of recycled fiber has recently been recognized because of concerns about environmental issues and economic aspects. In spite of several advantages offered by paper recycling such as wood savings through substitution of virgin pulp and reduction in chemical usage, recycled pulp also contains plenty of fines having high relative surface area and hig...
