Upper semismooth functions and the subdifferential determination property [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 In this paper, an upper semismooth function is defined to be a lower semicontinuous function whose radial subderivative satisfies a mild directional upper semicontinuity property. Examples of upper semismooth functions are the proper lower semicontinuous convex functions, the lower-C$^1$ functions, the regular directionally Lipschitz functions, the ...

A characterization of a class of maximum nonlinear functions [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 Maximum nonlinear functions on finite fields are widely used in cryptography because the coordinate functions have large distance to linear functions. More precisely, the Hamming distance to the characteristic functions of hyperplanes is large. One class of maximum nonlinear functions are the Gold power functions We characterize these functions in ...

Clinical assessment of masticatory efficiency in the rehabilitation of edentulous patients
Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences, 2015 Rehabilitation of edentulous patients has been a constant concern in dentistry. Several studies have reported a reduction in the masticatory function in these patients.

Orlicz_Spaces and Orlicz_Sobolev_space [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 A new class of convex functions called functions, Young functions, strong Young functions and Orlicz functions are introduced by relaxing the definitions of functions, Young functions, strong Young functions and Orlicz functions. Then, new classes of Orlicz spaces and Orlicz Sobolev space will be defined.

BMC Oral HealthBackground With the global rise in the aging population, the relationship between oral function and risk of long-term care is attracting attention. One method for subjective assessment of masticatory function is the use of a food acceptance questionnaire.

Evaluation of masticatory efficiency in patients with jaw deformities using the gummy jelly method
Advances in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2021 The gummy jelly method is easy to perform and is a reliable method for evaluating masticatory function. This study aimed to evaluate the masticatory function of patients with jaw deformities using the gummy jelly method and to analyse the factors that ...

Graph structure of commuting functions [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The problem of finding graph structure of functions commuting with a given function in terms of their functional graphs is considered. Structure of functional graphs of commuting functions is described. The problem is reduced to describing graph homomorphisms of weakly connected components of functional graphs.

Functional and molecular outcomes of the human masticatory muscles
Oral Diseases, 2017 The masticatory muscles achieve a broad range of different activities such as chewing, sucking, swallowing, and speech. In order to accomplish these duties, masticatory muscles have a unique and heterogeneous structure and fiber composition, enabling them to produce their strength and contraction speed largely dependent on their motor units and myosin ...

Products of generalized Nevanlinna functions with symmetric rational functions [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 New classes of generalized Nevanlinna functions, which under multiplication with an arbitrary fixed symmetric rational function remain generalized Nevanlinna functions, are introduced. Characterizations for these classes of functions are established by connecting the canonical factorizations of the product function and the original generalized ...
