In many infeasible linear programs it is important to construct it to a feasible problem with a minimum pa-rameters changing corresponding to a given nonnegative vector. This paper defines a new inverse problem, called “inverse feasible problem”. For a given infeasible polyhedron and an n-vector a minimum perturba-tion on the parameters can be applied and then a feasible polyhedron is concluded.

In this paper we study the almost universal convergence of weighted sums for sequence {x ,n } of negatively dependent (ND) uniformly bounded random variables, where a, k21 is an may of nonnegative real numbers such that 0(k ) for every ?> 0 and E|x | F | =0 , F = ?(X ,…, X ) for every n>l.

Linear differential systems ẋ(t) = Ax(t) (A ∈ Rn×n, x0 = x(0) ∈ Rn, t ≥ 0) whose solutions become and remain nonnegative are studied. It is shown that the eigenvalue of A furthest to the right must be real and must possess nonnegative right and left eigenvectors. Moreover, for some a ≥ 0, A+aI must be eventually nonnegative, that is, its powers must become and remain entrywise nonnegative. Init...

Nonnegative nilpotent lower triangular completions of a nonnegative nilpotent matrix are studied. It is shown that for every natural number between the index of the matrix and its order, there exists a completion that has this number as its index. A similar result is obtained for the rank. However, unlike the case of complex completions of complex matrices, it is proved that for every nonincrea...

The exact nonnegative matrix factorization (exact NMF) problem is the following: given an m-by-n nonnegative matrix X and a factorization rank r, find, if possible, an m-by-r nonnegative matrix W and an r-by-n nonnegative matrix H such that X = WH . In this paper, we propose two heuristics for exact NMF, one inspired from simulated annealing and the other from the greedy randomized adaptive sea...

Nonnegative and compartmental dynamical system models are derived from mass and energy balance considerations that involve dynamic states whose values are nonnegative. These models are widespread in engineering and life sciences, and they typically involve the exchange of nonnegative quantities between subsystems or compartments, wherein each compartment is assumed to be kinetically homogeneous...

We present a model and propose an approach to compute an approximate solution of Fully Fuzzy Linear System $(FFLS)$ of equations in which all the components of the coefficient matrix are either nonnegative or nonpositive. First, in discussing an $FFLS$ with a nonnegative coefficient matrix, we consider an equivalent $FFLS$ by using an appropriate permutation to simplify fuzzy multiplications. T...
