We study semi-iterative methods for an approximate solution of a linear equation x = Tx+c with a bounded linear operator T acting on a Banach space X, considering separately the cases when λ = 1 is an isolated and accumulation spectral point for T . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of a semi-iterative method, utilizing the generalized Drazin inverse introduced by ...

This paper studies the ambulance routing problem (ARP) in disaster situations when a large number of injured people from various locations require receiving treatments and medical aids. In such circumstances, many people summoning the ambulances but the capacity and number of emergency vehicles are not sufficient to visit all the patients at the same time. Therefore, a pivotal issue is to manag...

Microgrids offer several reliability benefits, such as the improvement of load-point reliability and the opportunity for reliability-differentiated services. The primary goal of this work is to investigate the impacts of operating condition on the reliability index for microgrid system. It relies on a component failure rate model which quantifies the relationship between component failure rate ...

Considering a frame L, we introduce the notions of stratified L-semi-topological neighborhood group, stratified L-quasi-topological neighborhood group, and stratified L-quasi-bi-topological neighborhood group. In so doing, we look at the notion of stratified L-right (left) semi-topological neighborhood group, provide some basic facts, and present a construction of a stratified L-right semi-topo...

In this paper we propose to study budget semi-supervised learning, i.e., semi-supervised learning with a resource budget, such as a limited memory insufficient to accommodate and/or process all available unlabeled data. This setting is with practical importance because in most real scenarios although there may exist abundant unlabeled data, the computational resource that can be used is general...

By considering the epigraphs of conjugate functions, we extend the Fenchel duality, applicable to a (possibly infinite) family of proper lower semicontinuous convex functions on a Banach space. Applications are given in providing fuzzy KKT conditions for semi-infinite programming.

side weir is a flow control structure that used extensively in irrigation and drainage as well as sewer networks. throughout the present research, a study comprised of 162 experiments was done on sharp-crested semi-circular side weir. since the height in this side weir varies along its length, this feature enables it to more properly control flood than rectangular side weirs in various flood co...

Distributing papers into sessions in scientific conferences is a task consisting in grouping papers with common topics and considering the size restrictions imposed by the conference schedule. This problem can be seen as a semi-supervised clustering of scientific papers based on their features. This paper presents a web tool called ADoCS that solves the problem of configuring conference schedul...
