This article considers the generalized (two-player) Nash equilibrium (GNE) problem with a separable non-smooth part, which is known to include the generalized saddle-point (GSP) problem as a special case. Due to its two-block structure, this problem can be solved by any algorithm belonging to the block-decomposition hybrid proximal-extragradient framework proposed in [13]. The framework consist...

Background: Radiation protection in the dental examination is often overlooked because doses delivered are negligible. However, volume of radiological examinations will constitute almost 15% all carried out medical field. Aim: This study aims to evaluate and compare surface equivalent dose on various target organs from radiology devices RINN phantom, effect numerous scanning protocols said usin...

It is known, by Rockafellar [SIAM J. Control Optim., 14 (1976), 877898], that the proximal point algorithm (PPA) converges weakly to a zero of a maximal monotone operator in a Hilbert space, but it fails to converge strongly. Lehdili and Moudafi [Optimization, 37(1996), 239-252] introduced the new proxTikhonov regularization method for PPA to generate a strongly convergent sequence and establis...

Appendix A Strong convexity As we discussed, the posterior from Bayes’s rule could be viewed as the optimal of an optimization problem in Eq (1). We will show that the objective function is strongly convex w.r.t KL-divergence. Proof for Lemma 1. The lemma directly results from the generalized Pythagaras theorem for Bregman divergence. Particularly, for KL-divergence, we have KL(q 1 ||q) = KL(q ...

O texto analisa quais teriam sido as razões estruturais pelas Habermas, no seu sobre a desobediência civil de 1983, estranhamente, não referencia o nome Arendt, mas Rawls. Para isso, apresenta alguns elemen tos do t ratamento arendtiano da desobediên cia que inviabilizaram alinhamento trabalho Habermas [1983] com aquele pensadora. Por fim, aponta para prox imidades teoria aq uela Rawls, muito e...

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDA) are expressed in the kidney, where little is known of their functional role. Several series of micropuncture experiments were performed in hydropenic rats using the NMDA channel blocker, MK801, and the NMDA coagonist, L-glycine, to probe NMDA for effects on single-nephron glomerular filtration rate (SNGFR) and proximal reabsorption (J(prox)). During intrave...
