We consider nonlinear elliptic equations with small diffusion and Dirichlet boundary conditions. We construct changing sign solutions with peaks close to the boundary and consider the location of the peak.

| Conics are widely accepted as one of the most fundamental image features together with points and line segments. The problem of space reconstruction and correspondence of two conics from two views is addressed in this paper. It is shown that there are two independent polynomial conditions on the corresponding pair of conics across two views, given the relative orientation of the two views. Th...

A binary matrix has the consecutive ones property (C1P) if it is possible to order the columns so that all 1s are consecutive in every row. In [McConnell, SODA 2004 768-777] the notion of incompatibility graph of a binary matrix was introduced and it was shown that odd cycles of this graph provide a certificate that a matrix does not have the consecutive ones property. A bound of k + 2 was clai...

We consider semilinear elliptic problems of the form ∆u+g(u) = f(x) with Neumann boundary conditions or ∆u + λ1u + g(u) = f(x) with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and we derive conditions on g and f under which an upper bound on the number of solutions can be obtained.

Abs t rac t -P roper t i e s of nonlinear multiobjective problems implied by the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker necessary conditions are investigated. It is shown that trajectories of Lagrange multipliers corresponding to the components of the vector cost function are orthogonal to the corresponding trajectories of vector deviations in the balance space (to the balance set for Pareto solutions). ~) 2003 El...

In the context of mixed complementarity problems, various concepts of solution regularity are known, each of them playing a certain role in related theoretical and algorithmic developments. In this note, we provide the complete picture of relations between the most important regularity conditions for mixed complementarity problems. A special attention is paid to the particular cases of a nonlin...

This paper is concerned with deriving necessary and sufficient optimality conditions for a fuzzy linear programming problem. Toward this end, an equivalence between fuzzy and crisp linear programming problems is established by means of a specific ranking function. Under this setting, a main theorem gives optimality conditions which do not seem to be in conflict with the so-called Karush-Kuhn-Tu...

Abstract The well-known Karush-Kuhn-Tucker theorem can be used, as in the fuzzy case, to find the trapezoidal approximation of a given intuitionistic fuzzy number. The method is quite technical such that obtaining the trapezoidal approximation of an intuitionistic fuzzy numbers from the trapezoidal approximation of a fuzzy number is proposed in the present paper. Among the advantages of this me...
