PROBLEMI ELLITTICI COINVOLGENTI NONLINEARITA' INDEFINITE NEL SEGNO
Sia $\Omega$ un dominio limitato in $\R^N$, $N\geq 3$. In questa tesi studiamo due problemi ellittici con nonlinearità indefinita nel segno. Siano $\alpha,\beta:\Omega\to\R$ due funzioni misurabili e siano $s\in]1,2[$, $r\in]1,s[$. Per prima cosa ci occupiamo del seguente problema ellittico non …

On Differential Equations With Indefinite Principal Parts
… a study of various differential equations with indefinite principal parts whether they be classified as ordinary, abstract, or fractional. In the first paper (Chapter 2) we show that Sturm’s separation theorem always fails for a classical real two term second order differential equation in the …

An active landfill design for indefinite waste storage
The design characteristics of an active waste disposal capsule placed within a saturated groundwater environment is investigated, with the objective of developing a methodology to determine environmentally, technically and economically feasible conditions for its operation. In operation, conditions …

Polynomial and indefinite quadratic programming problems: algorithms and applications
… treatment of its particular special case, the indefinite quadratic programming problem. Polynomial programming problems are generally nonconvex, involving the optimization of a polynomial objective function over a compact feasible region defined in terms of polynomial constraints. These …

A contextual analysis of definite and indefinite interpretations of tense
… tense has both interpretations, definite and indefinite, and which interpretation a tense has depends on whether tense denotes salient times in the context. Tense involves a free variable over times and is assigned its value via an assignment function. Two different readings are achieved by …

Indefinite Ethnicity in Fact and Fiction: "Invisible Color" or "Honkified Meanderings"?
… The characters in these texts attempt indefinite ethnicity by denying color and are prone to restlessness and failure until they accept racial duality.</p>

Hydroelectric power optimization using a decomposition procedure for the indefinite quadratic form
… scheme. A decomposition procedure for the indefinite quadratic form is used to develop an algorithm that will find a near global optimum of a nonlinear hydroelectric power optimization model. The decomposition scheme, due to Pardalos et aI., splits the indefinite quadratic form into …

One of a kind. The processing of indefinite one-anaphora in spoken Danish
… no differences between referent accessibility in indefinite and definite pronominal forms. Furthermore, referents of definite and indefinite forms clearly tend to differ with respect to identifiability. An experimental eye-tracking study provides evidence that there is no difference in the …

The semantics of Russian indefinite pronouns : scope, domain widening, specificity, and proportionality and their interaction
… is to consider the different types of indefinites in Russian as a system and provide a semantic account for each of them that would be able to naturally explain their distribution. The four sets of so-called `indefinite pronouns' (-to, -nibud', -libo, and koe- indefinites) differ in …

Definite and Indefinite Articles in Learner English: Identifying the Learning Problem and Addressing It with Processing Instruction Intervention
… effect of specificity on definite and indefinite articles: learners tend to associate specificity with “a”, which results in article omission with non-specific indefinite singulars and overuse of “a” with specific indefinite mass nouns. Prenominal modifiers further contribute to …

Polynomial Preconditioning for Conjugate Gradient Methods
… and Stiefel is popular. When A is hermitian indefinite (hid), the conjugate residual method may be used. If A is ill-conditioned, these methods may converge slowly, in which case a preconditioner is needed. In this thesis we examine the use of polynomial preconditioning in CG methods for both …

Judgment of countability of English nouns by Korean EFL learners
… a key factor for the appropriate use of English indefinite articles and noun phrases. To investigate the subjects' judgments of noun countability and how they are related to the use of English indefinite articles and noun phrases, fourteen hypotheses were set forth and four task types were …

Value Indefiniteness, Randomness and Unpredictability in Quantum Foundations
… shows that some observables must be value indefinite. We strengthen this result, proving a stronger variant of the Kochen-Specker theorem showing that, under the same assumption, if a system is prepared in an arbitrary state j i, then every observable A is value indefinite unless j i is an …
