On Convergence of Infinite Matrix Products with Alternating Factors from Two Sets of Matrices by Victor Kozyakin

“…We consider the problem of convergence to zero of matrix products AnBn⋯A1B1 with factors from two sets of matrices, Ai∈A and Bi∈B, due to a suitable choice of matrices {Bi}. …”

Searching through the shelves of the «storia» of Francesco II Maria della Rovere’s library by Elisa Tosi Brandi

“…This contribution considers a selection of volumes from the Durantine book collection that belonged to Francesco Maria II Della Rovere. The theme of the research is the 10 shelves dedicated to ‘history’ where once there were more than 1700 books that represented about 1/10 of the more than 13,000 of the original library divided into 12 subject groups. …”

A Coordination Mechanism of Supply Chain with a Retailer and Two Competitive Suppliers by Zhi-yang Liu, Yong Liu, Hui Li

“…To deal with coordination problem of a supply chain consisting of two competitive suppliers and a dominant retailer, considering these factors such as cooperation effort degrees and competition on the supply chain members, we establish a two-stage model considering cooperation effort degrees and competition of the suppliers from the perspectives of decentralized decision and centralized decision and exploit it to discuss the optional decisions and explore the impact of cooperation effort degrees on the profits of supply chain members. …”

Periodic and Solitary-Wave Solutions for a Variant of the K(3,2) Equation by Jiangbo Zhou, Lixin Tian

“…We employ the bifurcation method of planar dynamical systems and qualitative theory of polynomial differential systems to derive new bounded traveling-wave solutions for a variant of the K(3,2) equation. For the focusing branch, we obtain hump-shaped and valley-shaped solitary-wave solutions and some periodic solutions. …”

A novel low-complexity two-tier group antenna selection algorithm by Peichang ZHANG, Wannian AN, Shida ZHONG, Lei HUANG, Chunsheng ZHUANG, Wei ZHANG

“…Aiming at the high complexity of the end-to-end massive MIMO systems in flat correlated Rayleigh fading channel environments, a low-complexity two-tier group antenna selection algorithm based on discrete cuckoo search was proposed.The algorithm firstly grouped large-scale antenna arrays based on the correlation of antenna channels, and then used a new two-tier algorithm to optimize antenna selection for the grouped antenna sets.The first layer of the new two-tier algorithm was the internal selection of each group of antennas based on discrete cuckoo search, and the second layer was the final selection of all antennas selected by the first layer using discrete cuckoo search.The novel antenna selection algorithm could effectively reduce the complexity of large-scale MIMO systems.The simulation results verify that the antenna selection algorithm can obtain the capacity performance close to the optimal selection method and better BER performance with lower selection complexity under the flat correlated Rayleigh fading channel environments.…”
