The Iterative Positive Solution for a System of Fractional q-Difference Equations with Four-Point Boundary Conditions by Chuanzhi Bai, Dandan Yang

“…In this work, we investigate the following system of fractional q-difference equations with four-point boundary problems: Dqαut+ft,vt=0,0<t<1;Dqβvt+gt,ut=0,0<t<1;u0=0,u1=γ1uη1; and v0=0,v1=γ2uη2, where Dqα and Dqβ are the fractional Riemann–Liouville q-derivative of order α and β, respectively, 0<q<1, 1<β≤α≤2, 0<η1,η2<1, 0<γ1η1α−1<1, and 0<γ2η2β−1<1. By virtue of monotone iterative approach, the iterative positive solutions are obtained. …”

MRI Reconstruction with Separate Magnitude and Phase Priors Based on Dual-Tree Complex Wavelet Transform by Wei He, Linman Zhao

“…Owing to the separate regularization frame, this method reduces the impact of the phase jumps (that means the jumps or discontinuities of phase values) on magnitude reconstruction. Moreover, by virtue of the excellent features of DT CWT, such as nonoscillating envelope of coefficients and multidirectional selectivity, the proposed method is capable of capturing more details in the magnitude and phase images. …”
