Set against the context of the debate over the profitability of Information Technology (IT), this article is focused on the impact of IT use within support departments. It serves to introduce an efficiency variable of the support system with respect to operating departments. A formal model helps explain how to select the single-best method for these support departments. Reliance on IT leads to ...

Point source localisation is generally modelled as a Lasso-type problem on measures. However, optimisation methods in non-Hilbert spaces, such the space of Radon measures, are much less developed than Hilbert spaces. Most numerical algorithms for point based Frank-Wolfe conditional gradient method, which ad hoc convergence theory developed. We develop extensions proximal-type to spaces This inc...

Infiltration is one of the most important hydraulic parameters affecting surface irrigation and one ofthe most difficult parameters in practical field determinations. The infiltration equations are used todescribe water flow hydraulics and surface irrigation systems design. But determination of theparameters in these equations are costly and time consuming. Therefore, some estimating methods ar...
