This paper focuses mainly on the problem of computing the γth, γ>0, moment of a random variable Yn:=∑i=1nαiXi in which the αi’s are positive real numbers and the Xi’s are independent and distributed accordin...

In the last decade, the volume of semantic data has increased exponentially, with the number of Resource Description Framework (RDF) datasets exceeding trillions of triples in RDF repositories. Hence, the size of RDF datasets continues to grow. Howev...

This paper introduces a novel distributionally robust mean-variance portfolio estimator based on the projection robust Wasserstein (PRW) distance. This approach addresses the issue of increasing conservatism of portfolio allocation strategies due to...

The novel coronavirus pandemic is a major global public health emergency, and has presented new challenges and requirements for the timely response and operational stability of emergency logistics that were required to address the major public health...

This paper proposes a novel optimization method for solving real-world optimization problems. It is inspired by a cooperative human phenomenon named the mountaineering team-based optimization (MTBO) algorithm. Proposed for the first time, the MTBO al...

Using a two-piece normal distribution for modeling univariate data that exhibits symmetry, and uni/bimodality is notably effective. In this respect, the shape parameter value determines whether unimodality or bimodality is present. This paper propose...

In this paper, optimal and multi-objective planning of a hybrid energy system (HES) with wind turbine and battery storage (WT/Battery) has been proposed to drop power loss, smooth voltage profile, enhance customers reliability, as well as minimize th...

This article presents a mathematical and experimental model of a neuronal oscillator with memristor-based nonlinearity. The mathematical model describes the dynamics of an electronic circuit implementing the FitzHugh–Nagumo neuron model. A nonl...

With the rapid development of the Internet of Things and the popularity of numerous sensing devices, Mobile crowdsourcing (MCS) has become a paradigm for collecting sensing data and solving problems. However, most early studies focused on schemes of...

Delay and especially delay in the transmission of agents’ information, is one of the most important causes of disruption to achieving consensus in a multi-agent system. This paper deals with achieving consensus in delayed fractional-order multi...
