Many resource allocation problems can be studied within the framework of interference functions. Basic properties of interference functions are non-negativity, scale-invariance, and monotonicity. In ...

To solve this problem, we propose the approach of modifying a Jerk parameter, through the use of a pair of convex and concave functions, including aggregation functions.

This paper examines properties and interrelations of several concepts of generalized concavity. It shows that the class of functions that are both 'generalized concave' and 'generalized convex' is ...

As is shown by Yang, Means, and Moody [1], for a given domain, the concavity or convexity property may not be preserved beyond functional addition. The MRP curve cannot be concave to the origin, due ...

Based on these concave and convex surfaces simulating airway topographic microenvironments, we revealed two emergent self-organization patterns of ASMCs and intracellular SFs on the concave and convex ...

Mathematical methods for economic theory: concave and convex functions of a single variable.Mathematical methods for economic theory.A function of a single variable is concave if every line segment ...

ABSTRACT: We show that the lateral regularizations of the generator of any uniformly bounded set-valued composition Nemytskij operator acting in the spaces of functions of bounded variation in the ...

To fill the research gap of the above literature, this article proposes a convex–concave procedure-based method for the energy optimization of offshore wind power systems. This method mainly focuses ...
