New Regulations on Supplementary Income for Transfer Recipients: a Great Challenge by Kerstin Bruckmeier, Jürgen Wiemers

“…In doing so, it takes up a frequently voiced criticism of the design of the basic income support for job-seekers under Book II of the Social Code. In recent years, researchers have called for a strengthening of (monetary) incentives to work, especially to take up employment with higher weekly working hours. …”

Certificateless signature scheme without bilinear pairings by Sheng-bao WANG, Wen-hao LIU, Qi XIE

“…To solve the key escrow problem inherited in ID-based cryptography and the complex certificate management problem of traditional certification-based public key cryptosystem,Al-Riyami and Paterson proposed the novel concept of certificateless public key cryptography.Almost all existing certificateless signature schemes need bilinear pairings either during signature generation stage or the signature verification stage,and were proven secure only with stronger computational assumptions.A new certificateless signature scheme without pairings was proposed.The scheme is provably secure in the random oracle model(ROM)under the relatively weaker assumption,i.e.,the discrete logarithm assumption and is more efficient than the existing schemes.…”

Mixed quasi invex equilibrium problems by Muhammad Aslam Noor

“…It is shown that the convergence of these iterative schemes requires either pseudomonotonicity or partially relaxed strong monotonicity, which are weaker conditions than the previous ones. As special cases, we also obtained the correct forms of the algorithms for solving variational-like inequalities, which have been considered in the setting of convexity. …”

On the Convergence Analysis of the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers with Three Blocks by Caihua Chen, Yuan Shen, Yanfei You

“…In this paper, a new proof of this result is found under new conditions which are much weaker than Han and Yuan’s assumptions. Moreover, in order to accelerate the ADMM with three blocks, we also propose a relaxed ADMM involving an additional computation of optimal step size and establish its global convergence under mild conditions.…”

Beamwidth of beamforming vectors in millimeter-wave channels by Binjian LOU, Haiquan WANG, Yi HUANG, Ziwei LI, Yunyun YU

“…The beamforming technology is one of the core technologies in 5G and it can concentrate the transmitted energy in a specified area, thereby improving the performance of the system.But it is because of this feature that the energy is concentrated，any changes of the channel may cause to keep the receiver outside the specified area, and therefore, the performance of robustness is reduced.The concept of the beam width of a beamforming is one of the indicators to measure this tradeoff.Existing definition of beam widths are based on antennas, not on beamforming.Interms of beamforming, the definition of beam width was given and studied with the help of the concept in Grassmannian manifolds.On this basis, the method of beam width was discussed.It is found that the beam width of beamforming is closely related to the number of the transmitting antennas.The more the number of antennas, the more concentrated the energy, and the weaker robustness is.…”
