Iterative Algorithms for Variational Inequalities Governed by Boundedly Lipschitzian and Strongly Monotone Operators by Caiping Yang, Songnian He

“…Consider the variational inequality VI(C,F) of finding a point x*∈C satisfying the property 〈Fx*,x-x*〉≥0 for all x∈C, where C is a level set of a convex function defined on a real Hilbert space H and F:H→H is a boundedly Lipschitzian (i.e., Lipschitzian on bounded subsets of H) and strongly monotone operator. …”

Improved Genetic Algorithm to Solve the Scheduling Problem of College English Courses by Jing Xu

“…It is experimentally demonstrated that the designed algorithm not only has a faster convergence speed but also improves the diversity of individuals to a certain extent to enhance the search space and jump out of the local optimum. Research shows that the improved genetic algorithm has improved average fitness value and time compared with traditional genetic algorithm. …”

To Read or Not to Read Dickens in the Twenty-First Century: What If He Needed to Be Read Twice?, by Nathalie Jaëck

“…In this respect, Dickens, like his famous fellow literary adventurers, situates himself in a very intense literary period and contributes to creating it by writing ‘in the middle,’ in a still undefined theoretical space, away from Realism, but not yet caught in the Modernist system: they settle in the unstable state of imminence they historically find themselves in, and methodically explore its literary possibilities.…”

Hospitalité publique et altérité tsigane : du modèle d’intégration au paradigme assimilationniste by Caroline Trouillet

“…The deeply contradictory dimension of this model reveals how the paradigm of insertion is irrelevant when it comes to the migration and settlement of roma people on the local and national space. Since the « insertion village » as it is conceived implies a colonial relationship between strangers and indigenous people, this article shows how the project draws its rules from essentialist thoughts that inspired 19th century paternalist structures aimed at controlling workers' practices.…”

Urban Industrial Land Expansion and Its Influencing Factors in Shunde: 1995–2017 by Chen Xiong, Jiayi Lu, Fangqu Niu

“…The main conclusions are as follows: the industrial land in Shunde has experienced the development trend of “slow expansion-rapid expansion-slow expansion,” and the “fragmentation” of the industrial land space is still prominent. Decentralization, marketization, capital, and labor force have passed the significance test of the model, which are important factors influencing the expansion of the industrial land in Shunde. …”
