We propose a subspace-accelerated Bregman method for the linearly constrained minimization of functions of the form$ f(\mathbf u) + \tau_1\,\|\mathbf u\|_1 + \tau_2\,\|D\,\mathbf u\|_1 $, where $f$ is a smooth convex function and $D$ represents a linear operator,e.g., a...

Modern scholarship realizes that statutory law of Árpádian Hungary may not have meant to regulate actual situations, but only to follow general medieval patterns of Christian rulers issuing codes of law. Sources on actual legal practice show a different picture of the p...

This article describes a possible cause of natural laminar-turbulent transition in channel flow, and the minimum critical Reynolds number Rc,min is determined. It is assumed that the mechanism of transition is the same for both circular pipe flow and channel flow since ...

This article discusses dewatering systems in Egyptian temples from the Early Dynastic to the Graeco-Roman Period (ca. 3000 BCE˗395 AD). In particular, installations for the discharge of rainwater and already used water will be analyzed, followed by whether the water was...
