The purpose of this paper is to use an appropriate variational framework to discuss the boundary value problem with p-Laplacian type operators $$\{({\alpha}(t,x^{\Delta}(t)))^{\Delta}-a(t){\phi}_p(x^{\sigma}(t))+f({\sigma}(t),x^{\sigma}(t))=0,\;{\Delta}-a.e.\;t{\in}I\\x^{\sigma}(0)=0,\\{\beta}_1x^{\sigma}(1)+{\beta}_2x^{\Delta}({\sigma}(1))=0,$$ where ${\beta}_1$, ${\beta}_2$ > 0, $I=[0,1]^{k^2}$, ${\alpha}({\cdot},x({\cdot}))$ is an operator of $p$-Laplacian type, $\mathbb{T}$ is a time scale. Some sufficient conditions for the existence of constant-sign solutions are obtained.

In this paper, we propose a new detector based on the median-shift sign. We call it the median-shift sign (MSS) detector, which is an extension of the classical sign detector. We first analyze the problem of detecting a dc signal in noise of known probability density function (pdf). The MSS detector with the optimum median-shift value, the optimum MSS detector, performs better than the sign detector in Gaussian noise: it has the best performance among the detectors compared in Laplacian and Cauchy noise. It is shown that the MSS detectors with constant median-shift values are nearly equal to the optimum MSS detector. We also analyze the problem of detecting a dc signal when only partial information is available on the noise. The MSS detectors with constant median-shift values are almost equal to the sign detector in Gaussian noise: they perform better than the sign and Wilcoxon detectors for most signal ranges in Laplacian and Cauchy noise.

By using the fixed point index theory, we investigate the existence of at least two positive solutions for p-Laplace equation with sign-changing nonlinear terms $(\varphi_p(u'))'+a(t)f(t,u(t),u'(t))=0$, subject to some boundary conditions. As an application, we also give an example to illustrate our results.

In this paper, by using fixed point theorems in cones, the existence of positive solutions is considered for nonlinear m-point boundary value problem for the following second-order dynamic equations on time scales $({\phi}(u^{\Delta}))^{\nabla}+a(t)f(t,\;u(t))=0$, t $\in$ (0, T), $u(0)=\sum\limits^{m-2}_{i=1}a_iu(\xi_i)$, $\phi(u^{\Delta}(T))=\sum\limits^{m-2}_{i=1}b_i{\phi}(u^{\Delta}(\xi_i))$, where $\phi$ : R $\rightarrow$ R is an increasing homeomorphism and positive homomorphism and ${\phi}(0)=0$. In [27], we obtained the existence results of the above problem for an increasing homeomorphism and positive homomorphism with sign changing nonlinearity. The purpose of this paper is to supplement with a result in the case when the nonlinear term f is nonnegative, and the most point we must point out for readers is that there is only the p-Laplacian case for increasing homeomorphism and positive homomorphism due to the sign restriction. As an application, one example to demonstrate our results are given.

In the paper, we propose enhanced feature extraction and matching methods for a mobile environment based on modified SURF. We propose three methods to reduce the computational complexity in a mobile environment. The first is to reduce the dimensions of the SURF descriptor. We compare the performance of existing 64-dimensional SURF with several other dimensional SURFs. The second is to improve the performance using the sign of the trace of the Hessian matrix. In other words, feature points are considered as matched if they have the same sign for the trace of the Hessian matrix, otherwise considered not matched. The last one is to find the best distance-ratio which is used to determine the matching points. We find the best distance-ratio through experiments, and it gives the relatively high accuracy. Finally, existing system which is based on normal SURF method is compared with our proposed system which is based on these three proposed methods. We present that our proposed system shows reduced response time while preserving reasonably good matching accuracy.

A hybrid approach which includes edge- and region-based methods is considered. The modified non-linear Laplacian(MNL) filter is used for feature extraction. The matching algorithm has three steps which are edge, signed region, and residual region matching. At first, the edge points are matched using the sign and direction of edges. Then, the disparity is propagated from edge to inside region. A variable window is used to consider the local method which give accurate matched points and area-based method which can obtain full-resolution disparity map. In addition, a new relaxation algorithm for considering matching possibility derived from normalized error and regional continuity constraint is proposed to reduce the mismatched points. By the result of simulation for various images, this algorithm is insensitive to noise and gives full- resolution disparity map.

Suppose that G = (V, E) is a connected locally finite graph with the vertex set V and the edge set E. Let ${\Omega}{\subset}V$ be a bounded domain. Consider the following quasilinear elliptic equation on graph G $$\{-{\Delta}_{pu}={\lambda}K(x){\mid}u{\mid}^{p-2}u+f(x,u),\;x{\in}{\Omega}^{\circ},\\u=0,\;x{\in}{\partial}{\Omega},$$ where ${\Omega}^{\circ}$ and ${\partial}{\Omega}$ denote the interior and the boundary of ${\Omega}$, respectively, ${\Delta}_p$ is the discrete p-Laplacian, K(x) is a given function which may change sign, ${\lambda}$ is the eigenvalue parameter and f(x, u) has exponential growth. We prove the existence and monotonicity of the principal eigenvalue of the corresponding eigenvalue problem. Furthermore, we also obtain the existence of a positive solution by using variational methods.

In this paper we give conditions for the existence of, and describe the asymtotic behavior of, radial positive solutions of the nonlinear elliptic equation of Emden-Fowler type with convection term ∆_p u + 𝛼|u|^q-1u + 𝛽x.∇(|u|^q-1u) = 0 for x ∈ ℝ^N, where p > 2, q > 1, N ≥ 1, 𝛼 > 0, 𝛽 > 0 and ∆_p is the p-Laplacian operator. In particular, we determine ${\lim}_{r{\rightarrow}}{\infty}\,r^{\frac{p}{q+1-p}}\,u(r)$ when $\frac{{\alpha}}{{\beta}}$ > N > p and $q\,{\geq}\,{\frac{N(p-1)+p}{N-p}}$.
