It has recently been demonstrated that the nucleobase-density profiles of mRNA coding sequences are related in a complementary manner to the nucleobase-affinity profiles of their cognate protein sequences. Based on this, it has been proposed that cognate mRNA/protein pairs may bind in a co-aligned manner, especially if unstructured. Here, we study the dependence of mRNA/protein sequence complem...

Complementarity and cost-efficiency are widely used principles for protected area network design. Despite the wide use and robust theoretical underpinnings, their effects on the performance and patterns of priority areas are rarely studied in detail. Here we compare two approaches for identifying the management priority areas inside the global protected area network: 1) a scoring-based approach...

Most known continuation methods for P 0 complementarity problems require some restrictive assumptions, such as the strictly feasible condition and a properness condition, to guarantee the existence and the boundedness of certain homotopy continuation trajectory. To relax such restrictions, we propose in this paper a new homotopy formulation for the complementarity problem based on which a new h...

This paper examines the impact of contracting complementarity across product development systems in the automobile industry. While most empirical research on contracting assumes that each governance choice is independent of each other, cross-system integration and incentive problems within product development suggest the potential for complementarities across contracting choices within the firm...

This paper consists of two parts. The first part presents a complementarity based recursive scheme to model intermittent contact for flexible multibody systems. A recursive divide and conquer framework is used to explicitly impose the bilateral constraints in the entire system. The presented approach is an extension of the hybrid scheme for rigid multibody systems to allow for small deformation...

It is well known that variational inequalities are systematically used in the theory of many practical problems related to ”equilibrium”. The equilibrium is an important state considered in Physics, Engineering, Sciences and Economics and even in Biology, [5], [37], [38], [24], [56]. When a variational inequality is defined on a closed convex set, which is in particular a closed convex cone, in...

in restructured power systems and in a wholesale power market, a distribution company as a market player intends to maximize its profit by utilizing its options. hence determining an optimal energy acquisition strategy for a distribution company is vital, for attaining to this goal. however an important challenge for determining these strategies is forecasting other competitors and generation c...

we present an improved version of a full nesterov-todd step infeasible interior-point method for linear complementarityproblem over symmetric cone (bull. iranian math. soc.,40(3), 541-564, (2014)). in the earlier version, each iteration consistedof one so-called feasibility step and a few -at most three -centering steps. here, each iteration consists of only a feasibilitystep. thus, the new alg...

In this paper, we present the boundedness of solution set of tensor complementarity problem defined by a strictly semi-positive tensor. For strictly semi-positive tensor, we prove that all H+(Z+)-eigenvalues of each principal sub-tensor are positive. We define two new constants associated with H+(Z+)-eigenvalues of a strictly semi-positive tensor. With the help of these two constants, we establ...

The Q-property of a multiplicative transformation AXAT in semidefinite linear complementarity problems is characterized when A is normal.
