On the extended T-system of type C3C_3

We continue the study of extended T-systems of quantum affine algebras. We find a sub-system of the extended T-system of the quantum affine algebra $U_q \hat{\mathfrak{g}}$ of type $C_3$. The sub-system consisting of four systems which are denoted by I, II, III, and IV. Each of the systems I, II, III, IV is closed. The systems I-IV can be used to compute minimal affinizations with weights of the form $\lambda_1 \omega_1 + \lambda_2 \omega_2 + \lambda_3 \omega_3$, where at least one of $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$, $\lambda_3$ are zero. Using the systems I-IV, we compute the characters of the restrictions of the minimal affinizations in the systems to $U_q \mathfrak{g}$ and obtain some conjectural decomposition formulas for the restrictions of some minimal affinizations.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1208.482

New Perturbed Proximal Point Algorithms for Set-valued Quasi Variational Inclusions

In this paper, by using some new and innovative techniques, some perturbed iterative algorithms for solving generalized set-valued variational inclusions are suggested and analyzed. Since the generalized set-valued variational inclusions include many variational inclusions , variational inequalities and set-valued operator equation studied by others in recent years, the results obtained in this paper continue to hold for them and represent a significant refinement and improvement of the previously known results in this area

Identity, Self-Identity and Beauty in Chinese Female Worker

In this chapter, we leave “the Cultural Study” in the contemporary researches on beauty, claiming economico-political matters in our self-acceptance and image projection. Rather than studying the standard set for the middle class, we examine the middle-class dream in the self-acceptance of contemporary Chinese female migrant workers. We take “The Sundress”, a poem written by Wuxia, a migrant worker in Shenzhen, as an example, arguing that it is mainly the political and economic ideologies that function in the overdetermination of the contemporary working class’ projection of beauty in China. In the poem, the “I” speaker, a steam press operator working late in the night, (mis)identifies herself with a middle-class girl who buys and puts on the dress that she irons. She takes great pleasure and tranquillity in picturing the beauty and the leisure time that the idealized “you-I” in the dress enjoys. What’s more, our linguistic study testifies that she, as the speaker in the poem, is subjectified by the (mis)identification. Her self-acceptance, activeness and sense of control arise when she overlaps herself with that idealized body image. A great loss, however, is engendered by her having to leave that body and the fantasy world
