Description:
Starting from known necessary extremality conditions in terms of strict subdifferentials and normals the notion of weak stationarity is introduced. It is defined in terms of initial space elements. The necessary conditions become necessary and sufficient (for stationarity).
Description:
In wireless local area network (WLAN), signal coverage is obtained by proper placement of access points (APs). The impact of incorrect placement of APs is significant. If they are placed too far apart, they generate a coverage gap but if they are too close to each other, this leads to excessive co-channel interferences. In this paper, we describe a mathematical model we have developed to find the optimal number and location of APs. To solve the problem, we use an optimization algorithm developed at the University of Ballarat called discrete gradient algorithm. Results indicate that our model is able to solve optimal coverage problems for different numbers of users.

When designing wireless communication systems, it is very important to know the optimum numbers and locations for the access points (APs). The impact of incorrect placement of APs is significant. If they are placed too far apart, they will generate a coverage gap, but if they are too close to each other, this will lead to excessive co-channel interferences.

Description:
Extremality, stationarity and regularity notions for a system of closed sets in a normed linear space are investigated. The equivalence of different abstract “extremal” settings in terms of set systems and multifunctions is proved. The dual necessary and sufficient conditions of weak stationarity (the Extended extremal principle) are presented for the case of an Asplund space.

Description:
The paper continues investigations of stationarity and regularity properties of collections of sets in normed spaces. It contains a summary of different characterizations (both primal and dual) of regularity and a list of sufficient conditions for a collection of sets to be regular.
Description:
When designing wireless communication systems, it is very important to know the optimum numbers of access points (APs) in order to provide a reliable design. In this paper we describe a mathematical model developed for finding the optimal number and location of APs. A new Global Optimization Algorithm (AGOP) is used to solve the problem. Results obtained demonstrate that the model and software are able to solve optimal coverage problems for design areas with different types of obstacles and number of users.

Description:
Different stationarity and regularity concepts for extended real-valued functions on metric spaces are considered in the paper. The properties are characterized in terms of certain local constants. A classifcation scheme for stationarity/regularity constants and corresponding concepts is proposed. The relations between different constants are established.
Description:
Stationarity and regularity concepts for the three typical for variational analysis classes of objects - real-valued functions, collections of sets, and multifunctions - are investigated. An attempt is maid to present a classification scheme for such concepts and to show that properties introduced for objects from different classes can be treated in a similar way. Furthermore, in many cases the corresponding properties appear to be in a sense equivalent. The properties are defined in terms of certain constants which in the case of regularity properties provide also some quantitative characterizations of these properties. The relations between different constants and properties are discussed.
Description:
This article is devoted to some extensions of the metric regularity property for mappings between metric or Banach spaces. Several new concepts are investigated in a unified manner: uniform metric regularity, metric regularity along a subspace, metric multi-regularity for mappings into product spaces (when each component is perturbed independently), as well as their Lipschitz-like counterparts. The properties are characterized in terms of certain derivative-like constants. Regularity criteria are established based on a set-valued extension of a nonlocal version of the Lyusternik-Graves theorem due to Milyutin.
