We study softly broken N = 1 supersymmetric QCD with the gauge group SU(Nc) and Nf flavours of quarks for Nf > Nc + 1. We investigate the phase structure of its dual theory adding generic soft supersymmetry breking terms, i.e. soft scalar masses, trilinear coupling terms of scalar fields and gaugino masses. It is found that the trilinear coupling terms play an improtant role in determining the ...

This paper begins a series studying D-modules on the Feigin-Frenkel semi-infinite flag variety from the perspective of the Beilinson-Drinfeld factorization (or chiral) theory. Here we calculate Whittaker-twisted cohomology groups of Zastava spaces, which are certain finite-dimensional subvarieties of the affine Grassmannian. We show that such cohomology groups realize the nilradical of a Borel ...

We investigate solution of the maximum cut problem using a polyhedral cut and price approach. The dual of the well-known SDP relaxation of maxcut is formulated as a semi-infinite linear programming problem, which is solved within an interior point cutting plane algorithm in a dual setting; this constitutes the pricing (column generation) phase of the algorithm. Cutting planes based on the polyh...

Stochastic dual coordinate ascent (SDCA) is an effective technique for solving regularized loss minimization problems in machine learning. This paper considers an extension of SDCA under the minibatch setting that is often used in practice. Our main contribution is to introduce an accelerated minibatch version of SDCA and prove a fast convergence rate for this method. We discuss an implementati...

The purpose of this study was to compare the properties of 2 new dual-cure, bulk-fill restorative composite resins to those of a hybrid composite resin material. Depth of cure, fracture toughness, porosity, microleakage, and volumetric shrinkage properties were examined. With the exception of fracture toughness, significant differences were found among materials. Compared to the incrementally p...

We make Hamiltonian analyses of the new set of dual bosonic p-brane (including string) actions which contain high non-linearity. The difficulties exist in two basic steps of the Hamiltonian procedure, that is, in calculating canonical momenta and in solving velocities in terms of momenta. The former difficulty can be overcome by an ADM reparametrization of induced metrics, while the latter may ...

Sufficient conditions are given for a classical dual exterior penalty function of a linear program to be independent of its penalty parameter. This ensures that an exact solution to the primal linear program can be obtained by minimizing the dual exterior penalty function. The sufficient conditions give a precise value to such a penalty parameter introduced in (Mangasarian, 2005), where no quan...

objectives: this study aimed to identify elderly fallers and non-fallers by balance test under dual tasks conditions. methods & materials: this study was an analyze-comparative study. subjects were from three park of tehran. subjects were 20 older adults with outhistory of falls (aged 75.95±6.28 years) and 21 older adults with a history of 2 or more falls in the previous one year (aged 72.50±7....

A common high level task for the user of complex modelling software is making comparisons between models. The differences between the current and previous models guide future modelling efforts and model acceptance. This paper explores an interactive graphical paradigm to support this task. The computer displays the state history—the series of states the system takes one—corresponds closely to a...
