In this paper, we study the global topological linearization of a differential equation with piecewise constant argument of generalized type (DEPCAG) when the nonlinear term is unbounded. Some sufficient conditions are established for the topological conjugacy between a nonlinear system and its linear system. Our work generalizes the main result of Pinto and Robledo in [25].

The effects of truncating the (approximate) scattering transform in the D-bar reconstruction method for 2-D electrical impedance tomography are studied. The method is based on Nachman’s uniqueness proof [Ann. of Math. 143 (1996)] that applies to twice differentiable conductivities. However, the reconstruction algorithm has been successfully applied to experimental data, which can be characteriz...

It is well known that a continuous piecewise monotone interval map with positive topological entropy is semiconjugate to a map of a constant slope and the same entropy, and if it is additionally transitive then this semiconjugacy is actually a conjugacy. We generalize this result to piecewise continuous piecewise monotone interval maps, and as a consequence, get it also for piecewise monotone g...

In this article, we will estimate efficiency amountof decision-making unit by offering the continuous piecewise polynomialextrapolation and interpolation by CCR model input-oriented on the assumptionthat it is constant returns to scale in different times. And finally, we willestimate efficiency amount of decision-making unit indifferent times byoffering an example.

This paper is concerned with the existence of mild solutions for impulsive integro-differential equations with nonlocal conditions. We apply the technique measure of noncompactness in the space of piecewise continuous functions and by using Darbo-Sadovskii's fixed point theorem, we prove reasults about impulsive integro-differential equations for convex-power condensing operators.

Multigrid methods have been shown to be an efficient tool for solving partial differential equations. In this paper, the idea of a multigrid method for nonsmooth problems is presented based on techniques from piecewise linear differentiation. In detail, the original nonsmooth problem is approximated by a sequence of piecewise linear models, which can be written in abs-normal form by using addit...

This paper presents an active-set algorithm for large-scale optimization that occupies the middle ground between sequential quadratic programming (SQP) and sequential linear-quadratic programming (SL-QP) methods. It consists of two phases. The algorithm first minimizes a piecewise linear approximation of the Lagrangian, subject to a linearization of the constraints, to determine a working set. ...
