there are many reasons for the health inequities that we see around the world today. public policy and the way society organises its affairs affects the economic, social and physical factors that influence the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age - the social determinants of health. tackling health inequities is a political issue that requires leadership, political cour...

In this paper, we establish integral inequalities of Hermite-Hadamard type for multiplicativelys-preinvex functions. We also obtain some new inequalities involving multiplicative integralsby using some properties of multiplicatively s-preinvex and preinvex functions.

Random matrix models provide a phenomenological description of vast variety physical phenomena. Prominent examples include the eigenvalue statistics quantum (chaotic) systems, which are characterized by spectral form factor (SFF). Here, we calculate SFF unitary ensembles infinite order with weight function satisfying assumptions Szeg"{o}’s limit theorem. We then consider parameter-dependent cri...

We propose a new look at one of the most fundamental types of behavioral interfaces: discrete time specifications of communication—directly related to the work of de Alfaro and Henzinger [2]. Our framework is concerned with distributed non-blocking asynchronous systems in the style of Lynch’s I/O-automata [11], relying on a context dependent notion of refinement based on relativized language in...

or to conclude that no such vectors ω, z exist. The inequalities appearing in (1) and in the sequel are understood componentwise and o denotes the zero vector. Many applications and solution methods for (1) can be found in [3] and [4], respectively. In [8] (see also Section 9.2 in [4]), the so-called modulus algorithm was developed for solving the LCP: Let I denote the identity and with x ∈ R w...

This paper presents a class of proximal point algorithms (PPA) with nonlinear proximal terms. Proximal minimization algorithm using Bregman distance for convex minimization is extended for solving monotonic variational inequalities. Under suitable conditions, the convergence and O(1/N) computing complexity/convergence rate of the proposed algorithm is obtained. Further more, connections to some...

In this paper, we study the generalization bound for an empirical process of samples independently drawn from an infinitely divisible (ID) distribution, which is termed as the ID empirical process. In particular, based on a martingale method, we develop deviation inequalities for the sequence of random variables of an ID distribution. By applying the obtained deviation inequalities, we then sho...

This paper presents bounds for the variation of the spectral radius λ(G) of a graph G after some perturbations or local vertex/edge modifications of G. The perturbations considered here are the connection of a new vertex with, say, g vertices of G, the addition of a pendant edge (the previous case with g = 1) and the addition of an edge. The method proposed here is based on continuous perturbat...
