We previously developed an all-in-one photopolymerization device by modifying a commercially available liquid crystal display projector (LCDP) for the preparation of micropatterned surfaces and microfluidic channels without the need for expensive photomasks. In the present study, we demonstrate a simple and reliable method for rapid prototyping of cell micropatterning with high resolution using...

We extend pattern search methods to linearly constrained minimization. We develop a general class of feasible point pattern search algorithms and prove global convergence to a KarushKuhn-Tucker point. As in the case of unconstrained minimization, pattern search methods for linearly constrained problems accomplish this without explicit recourse to the gradient or the directional derivative of th...

In this paper, we apply the local fractional Adomian decomposition and variational iteration methods to obtain the analytic approximate solutions of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind within local fractional derivative operators. The iteration procedure is based on local fractional derivative. The obtained results reveal that the proposed methods are very efficient and simple tools ...

In this paper we determine the number of the meaningful compositions of higher order of the differential operations and Gateaux directional derivative.

This paper deals with the number of meaningful compositions of higher order of differential operations and the Gateaux directional derivative.

this paper studies a fractional boundary value problem of nonlineardifferential equations of arbitrary orders. new existence and uniquenessresults are established using banach contraction principle. other existenceresults are obtained using schaefer and krasnoselskii fixed point theorems.in order to clarify our results, some illustrative examples are alsopresented.

The paper contains calculus rules for coderivatives of compositions, sums and intersections of set-valued mappings. The types of coderivatives considered correspond to Dini-Hadamard and limiting Dini-Hadamard subdifferentials in Gâteaux differentiable spaces, Fréchet and limiting Fréchet subdifferentials in Asplund spaces and approximate subdifferentials in arbitrary Banach spaces. The key elem...
