We consider the solution of the single commodity strictly convex network flow problem in a distributed asynchronous computation environment. The dual of this problem is unconstrained, differentiable, and well suited for solution via Gauss-Seidel relaxation. We show that the structure of the dual allows the successful application of a distributed asynchronous method whereby relaxation iterations...

where F is a Fréchet-differentiable operator defined on an open subset D of a Banach space X with values in a Banach space Y . Finding roots of Eq.(1) is a classical problem arising in many areas of applied mathematics and engineering. In this study we are concerned with the problem of approximating a locally unique solution α of Eq.(1). Some of the well known methods for this purpose are the f...

Assuming that the motions of a complex system structural units take place on continuous, but non-differentiable curves of a space-time manifold, the scale relativity model with arbitrary constant fractal dimension (the hydrodynamic and wave function versions) is built. For non-differentiability through stochastic processes of the Markov type, the non-differentiable entropy concept on a space-ti...

Recent differentiable rendering techniques have become key tools to tackle many inverse problems in graphics and vision. Existing models, however, assume steady-state light transport, i.e., infinite speed of light. While this is a safe assumption for applications, recent advances ultrafast imaging leverage the wealth information that can be extracted from exact time flight In context, physicall...

Many engineering design and developmental activities finally resort to an optimization task which must be solved to get an efficient and often an intelligent solution. Due to various complexities involved with objective functions, constraints, and decision variables, these optimization problems are adequately suitable to be solved by means of classical point-bypoint methodologies. Evolutionary ...

This note is a sequel to [7] where we investigated the endomorphisms of a certain class of Banach algebras of infinitely differentiable functions on the unit interval. Start with a perfect, compact plane setX. We say that a complex-valued function f defined on X is complex-differentiable at a point a ∈ X if the limit f (a) = lim z→a, z∈X f(z)− f(a) z − a exists. We call f ′(a) the complex deriv...
