Multiple positive solutions for a class of nonlinear four-point boundary value problem with p-Laplacian

This paper deals with the existence of multiple positive solutions for a class of nonlinear singular four-point boundary value problem with p-Laplacian：{（φ（u′））′＋a（t）f（u（t））=0, 0〈t〈1, αφ（u（0））-βφ（u′（ξ））=0,γφ（u（1））＋δφ（u′（η））0,where φ（x） = ｜x｜^p-2x,p 〉 1, a（t） may be singular at t = 0 and/or t = 1. By applying Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem and Schauder fixed point theorem, the sufficient conditions for the existence of multiple （at least three） positive solutions to the above four-point boundary value problem are provided. An example to illustrate the importance of the results obtained is also given.

MULTIPLE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A CLASS OF SEMIPOSITONE NEUMANN PROBLEMSWITH SINGULARφ-LAPLACIAN

We study the existence of multiple positive solutions for a Neumann problem with singular φ-Laplacian{-(φ（u′）)′= λf（u）, x ∈（0, 1）,u′（0） = 0 = u′（1）,where λ is a positive parameter, φ（s） =s/（1-s;）;, f ∈ C;（[0, ∞）, R), f′（u） > 0 for u > 0, and for some 0 < β < θ such that f（u） < 0 for u ∈ [0, β)（semipositone） and f（u） > 0 for u > β.Under some suitable assumptions, we obtain the existence of multiple positive solutions of the above problem by using the quadrature technique. Further, if f ∈ C;（[0, β） ∪（β, ∞）, R),f′′（u） ≥ 0 for u ∈ [0, β) and f′′（u） ≤ 0 for u ∈（β, ∞）, then there exist exactly 2 n + 1 positive solutions for some interval of λ, which is dependent on n and θ. Moreover, We also give some examples to apply our results.

GPS： a constraint-based gene position procurement in chromosome for solving large-scale multiobjective multiple knapsack problems

The multiple knapsack problem （MKP） forms a base for resolving many real-life problems. This has also been considered with multiple objectives in genetic algorithms （GAs） for proving its efficiency. GAs use self- adaptability to effectively solve complex problems with constraints, but in certain cases, self-adaptability fails by converging toward an infeasible region. This pitfall can be resolved by using different existing repairing techniques; however, this cannot assure convergence toward attaining the optimal solution. To overcome this issue, gene position-based suppression （GPS） has been modeled and embedded as a new phase in a classical GA. This phase works on the genes of a newly generated individual after the recombination phase to retain the solution vector within its feasible region and to im- prove the solution vector to attain the optimal solution. Genes holding the highest expressibility are reserved into a subset, as the best genes identified from the current individuals by re- placing the weaker genes from the subset. This subset is used by the next generated individual to improve the solution vec- tor and to retain the best genes of the individuals. Each gene＇s positional point and its genotype exposure for each region in an environment are used to fit the best unique genes. Further, suppression of expression in conflicting gene＇s relies on the requirement toward the level of exposure in the environment or in eliminating the duplicate genes from the environment.The MKP benchmark instances from the OR-library are taken for the experiment to test the new model. The outcome por- trays that GPS in a classical GA is superior in most of the cases compared to the other existing repairing techniques.

Performance analysis of a low-complexity nonorthogonal multiple access scheme in visible light communication downlinks using pulse modulations

Although Successive Interference Cancellation(SIC)decoding is widely adopted in Nonorthogonal Multiple Access(NOMA)schemes for the recovery of user data at acceptable complexity,the imperfect SIC would cause Error Propagation(EP),which can severely degrade system performance.In this work,we propose an SIC-free NOMA scheme in pulse modulation based Visible Light Communication(VLC)downlinks,including two types of users with different data rate requirements.Low bit-rate users adopt on-off keying,whereas high bit-rate ones use Multiple Pulse Position Modulation(MPPM).The soft decision decoding scheme is exploited by high bit-rate users to decode MPPM signals,which could fundamentally eliminate the detrimental effect of EP;the scheme is also easier and faster to execute compared with the conventional SIC decoding scheme.Expressions of the symbol error rate and achievable data rate for two types of users are derived.Results of the Monte Carlo simulation are provided to confirm the correctness of theoretical results.

Multiple Choice Items in Testing

Language testing is very important and necessary,and moreover as we all know,nowadays,in English language testing, the muhiple-choice item is most widely used and many users regard the multiple-choice item as the most flexible and probably the most effective of the objective item types.The multiple-choice item has its characteristics,advantages and disadvantages.We should bring out its strengths to make up for its weaknesses and use it appropriately.Although it has its limitations,it is suitable for large-scale tests and tests dealing with wide-range knowledge.We should correctly ap- ply testing principles and methods in order to make testing more effective and reliable.
