In this paper we introduce a sequential block iterative method and its simultaneous version with op-timal combination of weights (instead of convex combination) for solving convex feasibility problems.When the intersection of the given family of convex sets is nonempty, it is shown that any sequencegenerated by the given algorithms converges to a feasible point. Additionally for linear feasibil...

In this paper, we develop new results on consensus for continuous-time multi-agent systems. We introduce the assumptions of persistent connectivity of the interaction graph and of slow divergence of reciprocal interaction weights. Persistent connectivity can be considered as the counterpart of the notion of ultimate connectivity used in discrete-time consensus protocols. Slow divergence of reci...

An analysis of the brain weights of 168 alcoholics showed that the mean brain weight of male alcoholics was less (p less than 0.001) than that of a normal population. Two subgroups of alcoholics were identified. Firstly, those with nutritional brain damage (Wernicke's encephalopathy, caused by vitamin B1 deficiency) and, secondly, those with brains which appeared "normal" macroscopically and mi...

This paper investigates single-machine scheduling with a deteriorating maintenance activity, where the processing time of job depends on whether it is handled before or after activity. Under common and slack due date assignments, aim to find optimal schedule, position value (flow-allowance) so that linear weighted sum earliness, tardiness minimized, weights are location-dependent (position-depe...

Resolution, the ability to separate closely occurring events, is an important criterion for most analytical instrument techniques since it effects the ability to obtain accurate, quantitative results. Thermal Analysis techniques are no exception to this basic rule. A good example is thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) which measures weight changes with temperature, providing information about mate...
