The Magnetocaloric Properties Around the Second-Order Magnetic Transition in \(\hbox {Ni}_{2}\hbox {Mn}_{1.4}\hbox {In}_{\mathrm{0.6-x}}\hbox {R}_{\mathrm{x}} (\hbox {R}= \hbox {Si, Ge, Al})\)
By combining the first-principles with Monte Carlo method, we investigate the magnetic exchange interactions and the magnetic entropy changes in the vicinity of the second-order transition in

Convexification of Nonsmooth Monotone Functions1
We consider a convexification method for a class of nonsmooth monotone functions. Specifically, we prove that a semismooth monotone function can be converted into a convex function via certain convexification ...
