The System Resource Constraint Theory intends to research growth of economy under different classes of system resource constraint. By analogy between ecology system and economic system, from the angle of total nature resource, total supply ability and total market volume, the theory focuses on the constraint condition and development characteristic of economy as well as the various game charact...

BACKGROUND To analyze the association between the OHIP-14 and the different subtypes making up the clinical and psychological axis obtained using the RDC/TMD. MATERIAL AND METHODS 407 patients treated at the TMD unit of the Andalusian Healthcare Service were administered the Spanish version of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders questionnaire (RDC/TMD), together w...

A joint chance constrained optimization problem involves multiple uncertain constraints, i.e., constraints with stochastic parameters, that are jointly required to be satisfied with probability exceeding a prespecified threshold. In a distributionally robust joint chance constrained optimization problem (DRCCP), the joint chance constraint is required to hold for all probability distributions o...

This paper investigates the discrete-time per-sample model of the zero-dispersion optical fiber. It is shown that the capacityachieving input distribution is unique, has (continuous) uniform phase and discrete amplitude with a finite number of mass points. The optimality of this multi-ring input holds when the channel is subject to general input cost constraints that include peak power constrai...

We present a method for achieving geometrical constraint stabilization for a linear-complementaritybased time-stepping scheme for rigid multibody dynamics with joints, contact, and friction. The method requires the solution of only one linear complementarity problem per step. We prove that the velocity stays bounded and that the constraint infeasibility is uniformly bounded in terms of the size...

We make a novel connection between an energy-efficient wireless transmission scheduling problem and a multi-period, multi-item inventory control problem with stochastic convex ordering costs, deterministic demands, and a joint budget constraint. In the special case of a single item, we show that a state-dependent modified base-stock policy is optimal when the stochastic ordering costs are linea...

This work aims at presenting, in a comprehensive manner, several approaches to model and simulate closed loop topologies using the classical Lagrangian formulation. One of great advantages approach is its simplicity easiness obtaining equations motion. However, critical aspect arises when mechanical systems include topologies, since process deriving motion becomes complex task. The key point pr...

Performance and energy are critical aspects in high performance computing (HPC) data centers. Highly parallel HPC applications that require multiple nodes usually run for long durations in the range of minutes, hours or days. As the threads of parallel applications communicate with each other intensively, the communication cost of these applications has a significant impact on data center perfo...

This paper studies the geometry of multi-image perspective projection and the matching constraints that this induces on image measurements. The combined image projections define a 3D joint image subspace of the space of combined homogeneous image coordinates. This is a complete projective replica of the 3D world in image coordinates. Its location encodes the imaging geometry and is captured by ...
