Let X be a Banach space and K a nonempty subset of X. The set K is called proximinal if for each x ∈ X, there exists an element y ∈ K such that ‖x − y‖ d x,K , where d x,K inf{‖x − z‖ : z ∈ K}. Let CB K , C K , P K , F T denote the family of nonempty closed bounded subsets, nonempty compact subsets, nonempty proximinal bounded subsets of K, and the set of fixed points, respectively. A multivalu...

In many fisheries, particularly high seas fisheries, effort is controlled primarily by scaling estimated fleet capacity to available biomass. Capacity is traditionally estimated by relating inputs to outputs, with gaps between maximum harvest and actual harvest ascribed to technical inefficiency; precaution often dictates managing for maximum technical efficiency. I demonstrate that cruise-leve...

The calculation of RTS amounts to measuring a relationship between inputs and outputs in a production structure. There are many methods to measure RTS in the primal space or the dual space. One of the main approaches is using the multiplier on the convexity constraint. But returns to scale measurements in DEA models are affected by the presence of regulatory constraints. These additional constr...

In a non-market environment, there is no pressure coming from competitors that leads firms toward efficiency. Public education system is the target of many critiques as being such an example of inefficiency. Some papers attempted to measure the level of inefficiency of schools or school districts using different methods. Unfortunately, those methods do not include an important aspect of the sch...

This paper combines quasi-Z-source into a typical five-level inverter, which includes two dc voltage sources, two quasi-Z-sources and five switching devices. In this structure, the output voltage amplitude is not limited to dc voltage source and it can be increased by quasi-Z-source. Besides, due to nature of Z-source families, this new structure is reliable and higher efficiency. Also, in this...

‎the purpose of this paper is to offer the equitable method for ranking decision making units(dmus) based on the dynamic data envelopment analysis (ddea) concept, where quasi-fixed inputs or intermediate products are the source of inter-temporal dependence between consecutive periods. in fact, this paper originally makes the use of an approach extending the ranking of dmus in dea by khodabakhsh...

in the process of production, some of the inputs are fixed and cannot easily be changed, such as work hours of workers and hours of administrative or work, these types of inputs are fixed and others are variables. in this paper, by considering some inputs or outputs which are limited, their amounts must be integrated; this concept for integer data is extended. we show the importance of subject ...

The infra-red fixed points are determined for all the parameters of the MSSM. They dominate the renormalisation group running when the top-Yukawa is in the quasi-fixed point regime (i.e. large at the GUT scale). We examine this behaviour analytically, by solving the full set of one-loop renormalisation group equations in the approximation that the electroweak contributions are negligible, and a...

This paper conducts a comprehensive analysis of the agricultural sector’s resource allocation and production decisions. uses differential systems with quasi-fixity to evaluate complete system, which examines input output linkages in terms elasticities. The are estimated using maximum likelihood estimation technique based on two-step profit-maximizing procedure theory. results reveal that livest...
