Virtual solutions to ensure continuity of care

Continuity of Care

The American Academy of Family Physicians defines continuity of care as “the process by which the patient and his/her physician-led care team are cooperatively involved in ongoing health care management toward the shared goal of high-quality, cost-effective medical care.” Haggerty et al. identified three types of continuity in every discipline: informational, management, and relational. Informa...

Boundary Continuity of Solutions to Elliptic Equations with Nonstandard Growth

We study regularity properties of weak solutions to elliptic equations involving variable growth exponents. We prove the sufficiency of a Wiener type criterion for the regularity of boundary points. This criterion is formulated in terms of the natural capacity involving the variable growth exponent. We also prove the Hölder continuity of weak solutions up to the boundary in domains with uniform...

Lipschitz continuity of the solutions to team optimization problems revisited

Sufficient conditions for the existence and Lipschitz continuity of optimal strategies for static team optimization problems are studied. Revised statements and proofs of some results in “Kim K.H., Roush F.W., Team Theory. Ellis Horwood Limited Publishers, Chichester, UK, 1987” are presented. Keywords—Statistical information structure, team utility function, value of a team, Lipschitz continuity.

Continuity properties of solutions to H2 and H∞ Riccati equations

In most H2 and H∞ control problems solutions of the algebraic Riccati equation play a crucial role. Note that in general for continuous time systems we have to use quadratic matrix inequalities instead of Riccati equations. For details we refer to [5]. In particular we are interested in the stabilizing solution of these Riccati equations and quadratic matrix inequalities. However, if the system...
