The pair 〈Θ, P 〉 of a pointset Θ ⊂ IR and a polynomial space P on IR is correct if the restriction map P → IR : p 7→ p|Θ is invertible, i.e., if there is, for any f defined on Θ, a unique p ∈ P which matches f on Θ. We discuss here a particular assignment Θ 7→ ΠΘ, introduced in [3], for which 〈Θ,ΠΘ〉 is always correct, and provide an algorithm for the contruction of a basis for ΠΘ which is relat...

Recently, recursive least square (RLS), or extended Kalman ltering (EKF), based algorithms have been demonstrated to be a class of eeective online training methods for neural networks. This paper discusses several aspects of pruning a neural network trained by the RLS based approach. Based on our study, the RLS approach is implicitly a weight decay training algorithm. Also, we derive two prunin...

The complementarity problem over a symmetric cone (that we call the Symmetric Cone Complementarity Problem, or the SCCP) has received much attention of researchers in the last decade. Many of studies done on the SCCP can be categorized into the three research themes, interior point methods for the SCCP, merit or smoothing function methods for the SCCP, and various properties of the SCCP. In thi...

As evidenced by a large number of well-conducted randomized trials, the complications and confounding conditions that can result from mismanagement of diabetes can be reduced or prevented with appropriate medical care (1–5). Observational studies to ascertain the level of glycemic control, blood pressure control, and cholesterol control in people with diabetes provide evidence of poor adherence...

"Background: Depression is considered one of the main determinants economic deficits by limiting functionality patients. Our study aimed to longitudinally assess implications cognitive on and quality life for patients with major depressive disorder, during an acute episode also euthymia. Materials methods: included 65 diagnosed recurrent disorder. The domains were tested after 6 months For both...

The goal of  this paper is to investigate the solutionand stability in random normed spaces, in non--Archimedean spacesand also in $p$--Banach spaces and finally the stability using thealternative fixed point of generalized additive functions inseveral variables.

The Malmquist productivity index evaluates the productivity change of a decision making unit (DMU) between two time periods. In this current study, a method is proposed to compute the Malmquist productivity index in several time periods (from the first to the last periods) in data envelopment analysis (DEA) and then, the obtained Malmquist productivity index is compared with Malmquist produ...

over the two last decades, distribution companies have been aware of the importance of paying attention to the all aspects of a distribution system simultaneously to be successful in the global market. these aspects are the economic, the environmental, the social and the safety aspects. in the vehicle routing problem (vrp) literature, the economic issue has often been used, while the environmen...
