Solving variational inequalities by a modified projection method with an effective step-size

In this paper, we propose a new projection method for the solution of variational inequality problems. The method is simple, which uses only function evaluations and projections onto the feasible set. We adopt a new step-size rule and a new search direction in the new method. Under the mild conditions, we prove the proposed method is globally convergent. Preliminary numerical results are reported.     

Abstract Hardy-Sobolev spaces and interpolation

The purpose of this work is to describe an abstract theory of Hardy-Sobolev spaces on doubling Riemannian manifolds via an atomic decomposition. We study the real interpolation of these spaces with Sobolev spaces and finally give applications to Riesz inequalities.

An Optimal L∞–error Estimate for an Approximation of a Parabolic Variational Inequality

In this article, an optimal error estimate for parabolic variational inequalities is studied. Existence and uniqueness of the solution is provided by the introduction of a constructive algorithm. An optimally L^∞-asymptotic behavior in uniform norm is proved using the semi-implicit time scheme combined with the finite element spatial approximation. The approach is based on the concept of subsolutions.     

Global exponential stability for interval general bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with proportional delays

This paper is concerned with interval general bidirectional associative memory (BAM) neural networks with proportional delays. Using appropriate nonlinear variable transformations, the interval general BAM neural networks with proportional delays can be equivalently transformed into the interval general BAM neural networks with constant delays. The sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of equilibrium point of the model is established by applying Brouwer's fixed point theorem. By constructing suitable delay differential inequalities, some sufficient conditions for the global exponential stability of the model are obtained. Two examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results. This paper ends with a brief conclusion. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optimal replacement and allocation of multi‐state elements in k‐within‐m‐from‐r/n sliding window systems

This paper proposes a new model that generalizes the linear sliding window system to the case of multiple failures. The considered k ‐within‐ m ‐from‐ r / n sliding window system consists of n linearly ordered multi‐state elements and fails if at least k groups out of m consecutive groups of r consecutive multi‐state elements have cumulative performance lower than the demand W . A reliability evaluation algorithm is suggested for the proposed system. In order to increase the system availability, maintenance actions can be performed, and the elements can be optimally allocated. A joint element allocation and maintenance optimization model is formulated with the objective of minimizing the total maintenance cost subjected to the pre‐specified system availability requirement. Basic procedures of genetic algorithms are adapted to solve the optimization problem. Numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the applications. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
