In this paper, we investigate the notion of q-pseudoconvexity to discuss and describe some geometric characterizations of q-pseudoconvex domains ${\Omega}{\subset}{\mathbb{C}}^n$. In particular, we establish that ${\Omega}$ is q-pseudoconvex, if and only if, for every boundary point, the Levi form of the boundary is semipositive on the intersection of the holomorphic tangent space to the boundary with any (n-q+1)-dimensional subspace $E{\subset}{\mathbb{C}}^n$. Furthermore, we prove that the Kiselman's minimum principal holds true for all q-pseudoconvex domains in ${\mathbb{C}}^p{\times}{\mathbb{C}}^n$ such that each slice is a convex tube in ${\mathbb{C}}^n$.

In the space $C_1(X)$ of real-valued continuous functions with $L_1-norm$, every bounded set has a relative Chebyshev center in a finite-dimensional subspace S. Moreover, the set function $F\rightarrowZ_S(F)$ corresponding to F the set of its relative Chebyshev centers, in continuous on the space B[$C_1(X)$(X)] of nonempty bounded subsets of $C_1(X)$ (X) with the Hausdorff metric. In particular, every bounded set has a relative Chebyshev center in the closed convex set S(F) of S and the set function $F\rightarrowZ_S(F)$(F) is continuous on B[$C_1(X)$ (X)] with a condition that the sets S(.) are equal.

In this study, the simultaneous use of a multi-level converter (MLC) as a DC-motor drive and as an active battery cell balancer is investigated. MLCs allow each battery cell in a battery pack to be independently switched on and off, thereby enabling the potential non-uniform use of battery cells. By exploiting this property and the brake regeneration phases in the drive cycle, MLCs can balance both the state of charge (SoC) and temperature differences between cells, which are two known causes of battery wear, even without reciprocating the coolant flow inside the pack. The optimal control policy (OP) that considers both battery pack temperature and SoC dynamics is studied in detail based on the assumption that information on the state of each cell, the schedule of reciprocating air flow and the future driving profile are perfectly known. Results show that OP provides significant reductions in temperature and in SoC deviations compared with the uniform use of all cells even with uni-directional coolant flow. Thus, reciprocating coolant flow is a redundant function for a MLC-based cell balancer. A specific contribution of this paper is the derivation of a state-space electro-thermal model of a battery submodule for both uni-directional and reciprocating coolant flows under the switching action of MLC, resulting in OP being derived by the solution of a convex optimization problem.

In non-rigid image registration, the Jacobian determinant of the estimated deformation should be positive everywhere since physical deformations are always invertible. We propose a constrained optimization technique at ensures the positiveness of Jacobian determinant for cubic B-spline based deformation. We derived sufficient conditions for positive Jacobian determinant by bounding the differences of consecutive coefficients. The parameter set that satisfies the conditions is convex; it is the intersection of simple half spaces. We solve the optimization problem using a gradient projection method with Dykstra's cyclic projection algorithm. Analytical results, simulations and experimental results with inhale/exhale CT images with comparison to other methods are presented.

In this article, we establish some new weighted Hardy-type inequalities involving some variants of extended Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative operators, using convex and increasing functions. As special cases of the main results, we obtain the results of [18,19]. We also prove the boundedness of the k-fractional integral operator on L_p[a, b].

In the present investigation, sharp upper bounds of $|a3-{\mu}a^2_2|$ for functions $f(z)=z+a_2z^2+a_3z^3+...$ belonging to certain subclasses of starlike and convex functions with respect to symmetric points are obtained. Also certain applications of the main results for subclasses of functions defined by convolution with a normalized analytic function are given. In particular, Fekete-Szego inequalities for certain classes of functions defined through fractional derivatives are obtained.

In this paper, we prove L^p estimates of a class of singular integral operators on product domains along surfaces defined by mappings that are more general than polynomials and convex functions. We assume that the kernels are in L(log L)² (𝕊^n-1 × 𝕊^m-1). Furthermore, we prove L^p estimates of the related class of Marcinkiewicz integral operators. Our results extend as well as improve previously known results.

There have been numerous studies on the characteristics of the solutions of ordinary differential equations for optimization methods, including gradient descent methods and alternating direction methods of multipliers. To investigate computer simulation of ODE solutions, we need to trace pseudo-orbits by real orbits and it is called shadowing property in dynamics. In this paper, we demonstrate that the flow induced by the alternating direction methods of multipliers (ADMM) for a C² strongly convex objective function has the eventual shadowing property. For the converse, we partially answer that convexity with the eventual shadowing property guarantees a unique minimizer. In contrast, we show that the flow generated by a second-order ODE, which is related to the accelerated version of ADMM, does not have the eventual shadowing property.

We characterize Gelfand-continuous functions from a Tychonoff space X into an Arens-Michael algebra A. Then we define several algebras of such functions, and investigate them as topological algebras. Finally, we provide a class of examples of (metrizable) commutative unital complete Arens-Michael algebras A and locally compact spaces X for which all these algebras differ from each other.
