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.

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 ...

Optical vortices in dispersive nonlinear Kerr‐type media
The applied method of slowly varying amplitudes gives us the possibility to reduce the nonlinear vector integrodifferential wave equation of the electrical and magnetic vector fields to the amplitude vector nonlinear differential equations. Using this approximation, different orders of dispersion of the linear and nonlinear susceptibility can be ...

Least Change Secant Update Methods for Nonlinear Complementarity Problem
In this work, we introduce a family of Least Change Secant Update Methods for solving Nonlinear Complementarity Problems based on its reformulation as a nonsmooth system using the one-parametric class of nonlinear complementarity functions introduced by ...

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.
