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,

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 ...

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 ...
