Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

Dynamics of Dengue epidemics using optimal control [PDF]
We present an application of optimal control theory to Dengue epidemics. This epidemiologic disease is an important theme in tropical countries due to the growing number of infected individuals.

A refined error analysis for fixed-degree polynomial optimization over the simplex [PDF]
We consider the problem of minimizing a fixed-degree polynomial over the standard simplex. This problem is well known to be NP-hard, since it contains the maximum stable set problem in combinatorial optimization as a special case.

Global Solutions to Nonconvex Optimization of 4th-Order Polynomial and Log-Sum-Exp Functions [PDF]
This paper presents a canonical dual approach for solving a nonconvex global optimization problem governed by a sum of fourth-order polynomial and a log-sum-exp function. Such a problem arises extensively in engineering and sciences.

We propose new mathematical models of inventory management in a reverse logistics system. The proposed models extend the model introduced by Nahmias and Rivera with the assumption that the demand for newly produced and repaired (remanufacturing) items ...

A Ky Fan minimax inequality for quasiequilibria on finite dimensional spaces [PDF]
Several results concerning existence of solutions of a quasiequilibrium problem defined on a finite dimensional space are established. The proof of the first result is based on a Michael selection theorem for lower semicontinuous set-valued maps which ...

Characterizations of Benson proper efficiency of set-valued optimization in real linear spaces
A new class of generalized convex set-valued maps termed relatively solid generalized cone-subconvexlike maps is introduced in real linear spaces not equipped with any topology.

Characterizations of the Solution Sets of Generalized Convex Fuzzy Optimization Problem
This paper provides some new characterizations of the solution sets for non-differentiable generalized convex fuzzy optimization problem. Firstly, we introduce some new generalized convex fuzzy functions and discuss the relationships among them. Secondly,
