a new class of nonlinear set-valued variationalinclusions involving $(a,eta)$-monotone mappings in a banachspace setting is introduced, and then based on the generalizedresolvent operator technique associated with$(a,eta)$-monotonicity, the existence and approximationsolvability of solutions using an iterative algorithm and fixedpint theory is investigated.

We study the statistical mechanics of the self-gravitating gas at thermal equilibrium with two kinds of particles. We start from the partition function in the canonical ensemble, which we express as a functional integral over the densities of the two kinds of particles for a large number of particles. The system is shown to possess an infinite volume limit when (N(1),N(2),V)--> infinity, keepin...

We extract the leading Fock state light-front wave functions (LF-LFWFs) of both light and heavy pseudoscalar mesons, e.g., pion (at masses 130, 310, 690 MeV), ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{c}$ ${\ensuremath{\eta}}_{b}$, from their covariant Bethe-Salpeter within rainbow-ladder truncation. It is shown that LF-LFWFs get narrower in $x$ (the longitudinal momentum fraction meson carried by quark) with incr...

the analysis of flow in water-distribution networks with several pumps by the content model may be turned into a non-convex optimization uncertain problem with multiple solutions. newton-based methods such as gga are not able to capture a global optimum in these situations. on the other hand, evolutionary methods designed to use the population of individuals may find a global solution even for ...

We measure the mass of the eta;{'} meson using psi(2S)-->pi;{+}pi;{-}J/psi, J/psi-->gammaeta;{'} events acquired with the CLEO-c detector operating at the CESR e;{+}e;{-} collider. Using three decay modes, eta;{'}-->rho;{0}gamma, eta;{'}-->pi;{+}pi;{-}eta with eta-->gammagamma, and eta;{'}-->pi;{+}pi;{-}eta with eta-->pi;{+}pi;{-}pi;{0}, we find M_{eta;{'}}=957.793+/-0.054+/-0.036 MeV, in which...

We present the results of extensive observations by the gamma-ray AGILE satellite of the Galactic region hosting the Carina nebula and the remarkable colliding wind binary Eta Carinae (η Car) during the period 2007 July – 2009 January. We detect a gamma-ray source (1AGL J1043-5931) consistent with the position of η Car. If 1AGL J1043-5931 is associated with the Car system our data provide the l...

The dynamics of star polymers is investigated via extensive molecular and Brownian dynamics simulations for a large range of functionality f and packing fraction eta. The calculated isodiffusivity curves display both minima and maxima as a function of eta and minima as a function of f. Simulation results are compared with theoretical predictions based on different approximations for the structu...

an analytical equation of state is applied to calculate the thermodynamic properties for argon. theequation of state is that of song and mason. it is based on a statistical-mechanical perturbation theory ofhard convex bodies and can be written as fifth-order polynomial in the density. there exist three temperaturedependentparameters: the second virial coefficient, an effective molecular volume,...
