In this paper we characterise the maximal convex subsets of the (non-convex) rate region in 802.11 WLANs. In addition to being of intrinsic interest as a fundamental property of 802.11 WLANs, this characterisation can be exploited to allow the wealth of convex optimisation approaches to be applied to 802.11 WLANs.

Quantitative versions (i.e., taking into account a suitable “distance” of a set from being a sphere) of the isoperimetric inequality are obtained, in the spirit of [17, 18], for a class of not necessarily convex sets called φ-convex sets. Our work is based on geometrical results on φ-convex sets, obtained using methods of both nonsmooth analysis and geometric measure theory.

We first obtain some properties of a fundamentally nonexpansive self-mapping on a nonempty subset of a Banach space and next show that if the Banach space is having the Opial condition, then the fixed points set of such a mapping with the convex range is nonempty. In particular, we establish that if the Banach space is uniformly convex, and the range of such a mapping is bounded, closed and con...

the aim of this paper is to prove some inequalities for p-valent meromorphic functions in thepunctured unit disk δ* and find important corollaries.

Discrete convex analysis, which is a unified framework of discrete optimization, is being recognized as a basic tool for mathematical economics. This paper surveys the recent progress in applications of discrete convex analysis to mathematical economics.

In this paper, we define the notions of fuzzy congruence relations and fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice and we obtain some related results. In particular, we will show that there exists a one to one correspondence between the set of all fuzzy congruence relations and the set of all fuzzy convex subalgebras on a commutative residuated lattice. Then we study fuzzy...

In this paper, we propose a new method for fuzzy numbers. In this method, we assume that Ai= (ai1, ai2, ai3, ai4) is to be a fuzzy number. So, the convex combination of ai1 and ai2 and also the convex combination of ai3 and ai4 are obtained separately. Then, Mic and Mis that are to be the convex combinations and the standard deviation respectively we acquire them from these components. Finally,...

the rational cubic function with three parameters has been extended to rational bi-cubic function to visualize the shape of regular convex surface data. the rational bi-cubic function involves six parameters in each rectangular patch. data dependent constraints are derived on four of these parameters to visualize the shape of convex surface data while other two are free to refine the shape of s...

If two symmetric convex bodies K and L both have nicely bounded sections, then the intersection of random rotations of K and L is also nicely bounded. For L being a subspace, this main result immediately yields the unexpected “existence vs. prevalence” phenomenon: If K has one nicely bounded section, then most sections of K are nicely bounded. The main result represents a new connection between...
