Weak solutions of a discrete Robin problem involving the anisotropic $\vect{p}$-mean curvature operator
B. Moussa, I. Nyanquini, S. Ouaro
This work investigates the existence and uniqueness of a so- lution to a discrete Robin boundary value problem involving the anisotropic p⃗-mean curvature operator. The existence re- sult is established through variational methods, specifically by applying the Mountain Pass Theorem of Ambrosetti and Rabinowitz in combination with Ekeland’s Var(...)

On Skew Cyclic Reversible DNA Codes Over F4[v]/⟨v4 − v⟩
Joel KABORE, Mohammed Elhassani Charkani
In this paper, we study a specific class of skew cyclic codes over the ring F_4[v]/⟨v^4− v⟩ which is suitable for describing DNA codes over this ring. Using the Gray map between F_4[v]/⟨v^4− v⟩ and F_4^4(or equivalently DNA 4-bases), we describe reversible DNA codes and reversible-complement DNA codes over this ring.
