We generalize, to the bilateral case (that is, with variable initial and end points), the main results of Nour and Stern [C. Nour, R.J. Stern, Regularity of the state constrained minimal time function, Nonlinear Anal. 66 ...

For a given multifunction, we provide proximal differentiability condition under which the equivalence between the interior sphere condition of each value of the multifunction and the interior sphere condition of its graph holds.

This paper develops optimal algorithms to multiply an n × n symmetric tridiagonal matrix by: (i) an arbitrary n × m matrix using 2nm − m multiplications; (ii) a symmetric tridiagonal matrix using 6n − 7 multiplications; ...

The segmentation and recognition of Arabic handwritten text has been an area of great interest in the past few years. However, a small number of research papers and reports have been published in this area. There are several ...
