In general the infimal value of a mathematical program with variational inequality constraints (MPVI) is not stable under perturbations in the sense that the sequence of infimal values for the perturbed programs may not converge to the infimal value of the original problem even in presence of...

We propose a new relationship between the slip and waiting time of real earthquake series. We calculated the Hurst exponents for both time series of slip and waiting time of earthquake sequence in Taiwan CWB (Central Weather Bureau) catalogue. Our findings suggest a good correlation with a...

In this paper, a novel, simple yet efficient method is proposed to approximately solve linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Emphasis is put on second-order linear ODEs with variable coefficients. First, the ODE to be solved is transformed to either a Volterra integral equation or a...

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the approximate solutions for variational inequalities. In terms of estimate functions, we establish some estimates of the sizes of the approximate solutions from outside and inside respectively. By considering the behaviors of estimate functions, we give...
