The Mathematics of Diffusion

Diffusion has been used extensively in many scientific disciplines to model a wide variety of phenomena. The Mathematics of Diffusion focuses on the qualitative properties of solutions to nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations and syste...

Rule Quality Measures Settings in a Sequential Covering Rule Induction Algorithm - an Empirical Approach

Design Recommendations for Immersive Virtual Reality Application for English Learning: A Systematic Review

The growing popularity of immersive virtual reality (iVR) technologies has opened up new possibilities for learning English. In the literature, it is possible to find several studies focused on the design, development, and evaluation of imm...

Existence results and Ulam-Hyers stability for a sequential deformable fractional initial value problem

Abstract In this study, we establish existence and Ulam-Hyers results for nonlinear sequential fractional differential equations involving the deformable derivative. We employ the Banach contraction principle and Krasnoselskii’s theorem to ...

Understanding older adults’ continuance intention toward smart locks: a socio-technical study based on the Expectation-Confirmation Model of Information Systems and Task-Technology Fit Model

Background As aging populations continue to grow, smart home technologies—such as smart locks—have become increasingly essential to support older adults’ independent living. Long-term use remains a challenge, however, with most studies focu...

Application of a Novel Multi-Agent Optimization Algorithm Based on PID Controllers in Stochastic Control Problems

The article considers the problem of finding the optimal on average control of the trajectories of continuous stochastic systems with incomplete feedback. This class of problems includes control problems in which the initial states are desc...

Philosophy of Mathematics and Mathematical Practice in the Seventeenth Century

Abstract The seventeenth century saw dramatic advances in mathematical theory and practice. With the recovery of many of the classical Greek mathematical texts, new techniques were introduced, and within 100 years, the rules of analytic geo...

Solving a class of distributed-order time fractional wave-diffusion differential equations using the generalized fractional-order Bernoulli wavelets

In this research, we propose a new numerical method for solving a class of distributed-order fractional partial differential equations, specifically focusing on distributed-order time fractional wave-diffusion equations. The method begins b...

Lattice-based ring signcryption for consortium blockchain

Ring signcryption with no group administrator satisfies the decentralization and blockchain anonymity. In this article, we construct new lattice-based ring signcryption scheme suitable for consortium blockchain (CB-LRSCS), in which the smar...

Analyzing the Transparency and the Efficiency of Innovative Transparent Electrodes for Space Solar Cell Applications

In this work a study about the behavior of nanomaterial-based innovative transparent electrodes is presented, with a special focus on graphene, for space photovoltaic applications, in particular their transparency and the efficiency of the ...

An Agent Cascade for Explainable Relevance Assessment of Procurement Procedures in the Tenders Electronic Daily Environment

This paper considers the task of assessing the relevance of a procurement procedure for a supplier under conditions of growing volumes of open procurement data and increasing complexity of electronic publication services. It is shown that, ...

Marketing Resource Allocation Strategy Optimization Based on Dynamic Game Model

Game theory has become an important tool to study the competition between oligopolistic enterprises. After combing the existing literature, it is found that there is no research combining two-stage game and nonlinear dynamics to analyze the...

Matrix Mathematics

When first published in 2005, Matrix Mathematics quickly became the essential reference book for users of matrices in all branches of engineering, science, and applied mathematics. In this fully updated and expanded edition, the author brin...

What Is Mathematics?

Abstract For more than two thousand years a familiarity with mathematics has been regarded as an indispensable part of the intellectual equipment of every cultured person. Today, unfortunately, the traditional place of mathematics in educat...

Mass variation observing system by high low inter-satellite links (MOBILE) – a new concept for sustained observation of mass transport from space

As changes in gravity are directly related to mass variability, satellite missions observing the Earth’s time varying gravity field are a unique tool for observing mass transport processes in the Earth system, such as the water cycle, rapid...

On NeutroNilpotentGroups

In this paper, we introduce the notion of commutator of two elements in a specific NeutroGroup. Then we define the notion of a NeutroNilpotentGroup and we study some of their properties. Moreover, we show that the intersection of two Neutro...
