An Adaptive Prediction-Correction Method for Solving Large-Scale Nonlinear Systems of Monotone Equations with Applications by Gaohang Yu, Shanzhou Niu, Jianhua Ma, Yisheng Song

“…The proposed method possesses some favorable properties: (1) it is progressive step by step, that is, the distance between iterates and the solution set is decreasing monotonically; (2) global convergence result is independent of the merit function and its Lipschitz continuity; (3) it is a derivative-free method and could be applied for solving large-scale nonsmooth equations due to its lower storage requirement. …”

Design and Characterization of a Miniaturized Antenna Based on Palisade-Shaped Metasurface by Ximing Li, Jingjing Yang, Zhigang Chen, Pengshan Ren, Ming Huang

“…Furthermore, through analyzing the dispersion curve of the metasurface to optimize the structure, the proposed antenna achieves a compact structure with a maximum size of 0.38λ02; a low profile of 0.08λ0 (where λ0 is the free-space wavelength at 5.0 GHz) exhibits a 19.6% impedance bandwidth (S11<−10dB) and an average gain of 6.76 dBi across the bandwidth.…”

Relationship between Capital Allocation Efficiency and Diversification Strategy from the Perspective of Internal Control by Jingjuan Wang, Weili Xia

“…The results show that when the level of free cash flow is high, the incentive mechanism of corporate governance increases the possibility of diversification; the lower the quality of internal control information is, the more likely it is for enterprises to pursue diversification; improving the quality of internal control helps management to allocate internal resources reasonably. …”

COMPOSITE MODEL ERROR SOURCES IN DISCRETE CHANNELS OF DATA CONVERSION by Yu. D. Ivanov, B. V. Lozka, Е. O. Kozljuk

“…Organization of burst errors in a channel based on the generalized implementation of the principle of compression of individual sections of the background in dependent error that causes the formation of plots, completely free of errors. The presence of such sites in infallible conversion channel does not reflect the actual processes of errors, which leads to the need to share the channel with generalized packet errors and channel errors independent background that provides the background presence of errors in all areas except the packet. …”
