Role of Exponential Type Random Invexities for Asymptotically Sufficient Efficiency Conditions in Semi-Infinite Multi-Objective Fractional Programming

Description: This article introduces several notions of random exponential type asymptotic invexities to establish results to the context of a class of asymptotically sufficient efficiency conditions in semi-infinite multi-objective fractional programing.

Existence and Nonexistence of Solutions for Semilinear Equations on Exterior Domains

Description: This article studies radial solutions of Δu + K(r)ƒ(u) = 0 on the exterior of the ball of radius R > 0 centered at the origin in ℝᴺ where ƒ is odd with ƒ < 0 on (0,ß), ƒ > 0 on (β, δ), ƒ ≡ 0 for u > δ, and where the function K(r) is assumed to be positive and K(r) → 0 as r → ∞.

Reactive oxygen species, abiotic stress and stress combination

Description: This article reviews recent studies on the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in abiotic stress in plants, and propose that different abiotic stresses, such as drought, heat, salinity and high light, result in different ROS signatures that determine the specificity of the acclimation response and help tailor it to the exact stress the plant encounters.

EMOTION-III Model: A Theoretical Framework for Social Empathic Emotions in Autonomous Control Systems

Description: In this article, a theoretical model of social empathic emotion is derived based on the principles of survival by extending the maximization of self-gains to include others as an extended-self. This extended-self model of optimization for survival provides the computational mechanisms in the optimization process to maximize self-gains without minimizing the gains (or maximizing losses) for the other individuals. Thus, it can resolve conflicts in a competitive environment, and change the social … more

Ergodicity breaking and localization

Description: This article studies the joint action of the non-Poisson renewal events (NPR) yielding Continuous-time random walk (CTRW) with index α < 1 and two different generators of Hurst coefficient H ≠ 0.5, one generating fractional Brownian motion (FBM) and another scaled Brownian motion (SBM).
