How to ensure the normal production of industries in an uncertain emergency environment has aroused a lot of concern in society. Selecting the best emergency material suppliers using the multicriteria group decision making (MCGDM) method will ensure...

We propose a new statistical analysis of the Acoustic Emissions (AE) produced in a series of triaxial deformation experiments leading to fractures and failure of two different rocks, namely, Darley Dale Sandstone (DDS) and AG Granite (AG). By means o...

This study proposes a continuous adaptive finite-time fractional-order sliding mode control method for fractional-order Buck converters. In order to establish a more accurate model, a fractional-order model based on the Riemann-Liouville (R-L) defini...

In this article, new properties of the Poisson distribution of order k with parameter λ are found. Based on them, the modes of the Poisson distributions of order k=3 and 4 are derived for λ in (0,1). They are 0, 3, 5, and 0, 4, 7, 8, re...

In this paper, we propose a new discrete-time risk model of an insurance portfolio with stochastic premiums, in which the temporal dependence among the premium numbers of consecutive periods is fitted by the first-order integer-valued autoregressive...

Knowledge graphs as external information has become one of the mainstream directions of current recommendation systems. Various knowledge-graph-representation methods have been proposed to promote the development of knowledge graphs in related fields...

The safe and comfortable operation of high-speed trains has attracted extensive attention. With the operation of the train, the performance of high-speed train bogie components inevitably degrades and eventually leads to failures. At present, it is a...

Fitts’ approach, which examines the information processing of the human motor system, has the problem that the movement speed is controlled by the difficulty index of the task, which the participant uniquely sets, but it is an arbitrary speed....

Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) systems and associated programming interfaces make it possible to explore and investigate the design and development of quantum computing techniques for Machine Learning (ML) applications. Among the most recent...

An optimized Schwarz domain decomposition method (DDM) for solving the local optical response model (LORM) is proposed in this paper. We introduce a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) scheme for the discretization of such a model problem based...
