In this letter, we provide counter-examples to demonstrate that it is possible retain second-order accuracy using Sakurai et al.'s method, even when different flux boundary conditions are imposed on multiple interfaces do not conform the Cartesian grid. We consider both continuous and discontinuous indicator functions in our test problems. Both yield a similar convergence rate for problems cons...

Complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) has always been a challenging subject to diagnose and treat. New, less invasive, techniques have been introduced in the last decade with the development of the new generations of high definition endoscopes and the robotic platforms to treat the surgically correctable pathologies underlying UTIs. This review will discuss the different underlying patholog...

Abstract. In this paper we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution to the relaxed commutant lifting problem. The obtained conditions are more complicated than those for the classical commutant lifting setting, and earlier obtained sufficient conditions turn out not to be necessary conditions. It is also shown that these conditions simplify in certain s...
