Quasi-variational equilibrium models for network flow problems
We consider a formulation of a network equilibrium problem given by a suitable quasi-variational inequality where the feasible flows are supposed to be dependent on the equilibrium solution of the model. The K...

Role of electrostatics in the thermal stability of ubiquitin
The failure of the ubiquitin-proteasome system is involved in many diseases. Here, in order to assess the pH-induced changes in the physico-chemical properties of ubiquitin, DSC measurements have been carried ...

Phase behaviour of polymer-grafted DPPC membranes for drug delivery systems design
DPPC dispersions containing DPPE with attached PEG of molecular masses 350, 2000 and 5000 were investigated by DSC in order to determine their phase behaviour and potential use as drug delivery systems. In com...

About the Duality Gap in Vector Optimization
Since a vector program has not just an optimal value but a set of optimal ones, the analysis of duality gap requires at least the comparison between two sets of vector optimal values. Relying only on a weak du...

On Generalized Variational Inequalities
In this paper we illustrate the connections between generalized variational inequalities (GVI) and other mathematical models: optimization, complementarity, inclusions, dynamical systems. In particular, we ana...

On the Image Regularity Condition
In this paper, we continue the analysis of the image regularity condition (IRC) as introduced in a previous paper where we have proved that IRC implies the existence of generalized Lagrange-John multipliers wi...

Regularity Conditions in Vector Optimization
By exploiting very recent results concerning linear separation between a set and a convex cone, the image space approach allows us to achieve new regularity conditions for vector minimum problems. In particula...

G-Semidifferentiability in Euclidean Spaces
To unify the increasing number of generalized derivatives in the recent literature, a general concept of differentiability, embracing several classical cases, has been proposed in Ref. 1. Proceeding in this ve...

Regularity Conditions for the Linear Separation of Sets
In this paper, we study the linear separation between a set and a convex cone. We introduce the concepts of regularity and total regularity of the separation with respect to a face of the cone and we give theo...

Separation of Sets, Lagrange Multipliers, and Totally Regular Extremum Problems
We introduce the concept of total regularity for the separation of sets, and we give a characterization of it. Also, we prove the equivalence between total regularity and boundedness of the generalized multipl...

Experimental Validation of a Piezoceramic Annular Plate Theoretical Model
The vibrational behavior of a piezoceramic ring is quite different from that of a solid disk with the same radius and thickness and therefore an “ad hoc” model is desirable. Berlincourt et al. proposed a simpl...
