The analysis of flow in water-distribution networks with several pumps by the Content Model may be turned into a non-convex optimization uncertain problem with multiple solutions. Newton-based methods such as GGA are not able to capture a global optimum in these situations. On the other hand, evolutionary methods designed to use the population of individuals may find a global solution even for ...

in this paper, we first introduce some function spaces, with certain locally convex topologies, closely  related to the space of real-valued continuous functions on $x$,  where $x$ is a $c$-distinguished topological space. then, we show that their dual spaces can be identified in a natural way with certain spaces of radon measures.

Let $Omega_X$ be a bounded, circular and strictly convex domain of a Banach space $X$ and $mathcal{H}(Omega_X)$ denote the space of all holomorphic functions defined on $Omega_X$. The growth space $mathcal{A}^omega(Omega_X)$ is the space of all $finmathcal{H}(Omega_X)$ for which $$|f(x)|leqslant C omega(r_{Omega_X}(x)),quad xin Omega_X,$$ for some constant $C>0$, whenever $r_{Omega_X}$ is the M...

in this paper, we first introduce the notion of $c$-affine functions for $c> 0$.then we deal with some properties of strongly convex functions in real inner product spaces by using a quadratic support function at each point which is $c$-affine. moreover, a hyers–-ulam stability result for strongly convex functions is shown.

in this paper, an optimization problem with a linear objective function subject to a consistent finite system of fuzzy relation inequalities using the max-product composition is studied. since its feasible domain is non-convex, traditional linear programming methods cannot be applied to solve it. we study this problem and capture some special characteristics of its feasible domain and optimal s...

In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $left(varphi_1, varphi_2right)$-convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm,  such that $f + g $ attains its strong minimum on $X. $ This result extends some of the  well-known varitional principles as that of Ekeland [On the variational principle,  J.
