We introduce the notion of a C *-valued weight between two C *-algebras as a generalization of an ordinary weight on a C *-algebra and as a C *-version of operator valued weights on von Neumann algebras. Also, some form of lower semi-continuity will be discussed together with an extension to the Multiplier algebra. A strong but useful condition for C *-valued weights, the so-called regularity, ...

Existing ranking schemes assume all term occurrences in a given document are of equal influence. Intuitively, terms occurring in some places should have a greater influence than those elsewhere. An occurrence in an abstract may be more important than an occurrence in the body text. Although this observation is not new, there remains the issue of finding good weights for each structure. Vector s...

in this paper we introduce a sequential block iterative method and its simultaneous version with op-timal combination of weights (instead of convex combination) for solving convex feasibility problems.when the intersection of the given family of convex sets is nonempty, it is shown that any sequencegenerated by the given algorithms converges to a feasible point. additionally for linear feasibil...
