The Monge problem (Monge 1781; Taton 1951), as reformulated by Kantorovich (2006a, 2006b) is that of the transportation at a minimum "cost" of a given mass distribution from an initial to a final position during a given time interval. It is an optimal tran ...
We consider an eigenvalue problem for a certain type of quasi-linear second-order differential equation on the interval (0, infinity). Using an appropriate version of the mountain pass theorem, we establish the existence of a positive solution in H-0(1)(0, ...
The applicability of extremely thin non-electroneutral membranes for ion-selective electrodes (ISEs) is investigated. A theoretical treatment of potential and concentration profiles in space-charge membranes of
In the context of metric perturbation theory for nonspinning black holes, extreme mass ratio binary systems are described by distributionally forced master wave equations. Numerical solution of a master wave equation as an initial boundary value problem re ...
In a recent publication, Haestier [J. Appl. Cryst. (2009), 42, 798-809] has proposed a method to take care of the unit-cell-parameter uncertainties in the calculation of geometric quantities such as interatomic distances and bond angles by modifying the un ...
Laboratory column experiments involving steady flow in homogeneous soil are often analyzed assuming that the flow is spatially uniform in any plane transverse to the longitudinal axis aligned with the column centerline. Axisymmetric steady flow in such a c ...
Navigability of networks, that is, the ability to find any given destination vertex starting from any other vertex, is crucial to their usefulness. In 2000 Kleinberg showed that optimal navigability could be achieved in small world networks provided that a ...
We consider a gauge symmetric version of the p-spin glass model on a complete graph. The gauge symmetry guarantees the absence of replica symmetry breaking and allows to fully use the interpolation scheme of Guerra to rigorously compute the free energy. In ...
In this paper, an exact solution is derived for the characterization of thermal stresses in a single-fibre composite of finite length. All the required boundary and interfacial conditions of the thermo-elastic problem are thus satisfied exactly. The propos ...
We address the problem of joint optimal rate allocation and scheduling between media source rate and error protection rate in scalable streaming applications over lossy multipath networks. Starting from a distortion representation of the received media inf ...
