Water allocation in lossy canal trees must respect local capacities and a service guarantee. We develop a deterministic three-stage lexicographic model for a rooted, fixed-route tree: Stage 1 maximizes the minimum service ratio, Stage 2 maximizes wei...
Off-site construction (OSC) projects face persistent challenges in balancing design performance, cost efficiency, and stakeholder priorities due to fragmented workflows between generative design (GD) and building information modelling (BIM). Although...
Sickle cell disease is associated with abnormal erythrocyte deformation and altered blood rheology, which may increase resistance to blood flow and contribute to impaired tissue perfusion. The presence of arterial stenosis can further modify the haem...
Suspended carbon nanotubes provide a useful platform for studying controlled nanomechanical motion in regimes where environmental fluctuations, memory effects, and quantum coherence can all influence the dynamics. We model the fundamental flexural mo...
We introduce a new class of three-dimensional (3D) fractional-order Zernike moments by extending the radial component of classical 3D Zernike polynomials to admit fractional exponents. We derive explicit formulas for the fractional radial coefficient...
We study threshold traveling waves in a one-dimensional Grindrod individual-clustering model with strong-Allee growth and an elliptically regularized directed velocity. The waves connect the stable positive equilibrium to the unstable Allee threshold...
This study revisits the integrated vendor–buyer inventory model with backordering analyzed by Chung and clarifies its relationship to the finite-horizon cost-comparison method of Minner. We show that the perturbation arguments used for the cont...
Classical formulas for second-order constant-coefficient ODEs split the solution into distinct-root, repeated-root, and resonant cases; near the transition points, otherwise correct formulas may suffer cancellation or small-denominator loss. We deriv...
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming modern medicine, providing powerful tools to assist clinicians. However, the most accurate models are opaque, and their limited interpretability hinders clinical adoption and raises regulatory concerns....
Ordered categorical sequence analysis is distributed across specialist methods and software, making preparation decisions, method settings, diagnostics, and provenance difficult to inspect consistently across an end-to-end workflow. This paper presen...
Transport planning requires an accurate estimate of household trip rates to evaluate transportation needs. However, it has been believed that high accuracy is associated with large sample sizes, which hinders low-population local government units fro...
Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy is widely used for lithium-ion battery development, diagnostics, performance evaluation, and state-of-health and state-of-charge estimation. However, the characterization of equivalent circuit models from experi...
We introduce and analyze a two-step inertial viscosity-type algorithm for approximating a common solution of a generalized mixed equilibrium problem and the fixed-point problems associated with a family of quasi-nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilber...
This paper studies a nonnegative square-root diffusion subject to finite-activity multiplicative jumps whose multipliers follow a Gamma distribution. The analysis develops the mathematical foundation that is needed before moment calculations can be u...
The ability to develop mathematical models of infectious disease systems that integrate the dynamics of infectious disease processes at multiple scales is essential in furthering our understanding of infectious disease control, elimination, and even...
Induced matchings are a fundamental graph-theoretic concept with applications in secure communication, network flow, and very-large-scale integration. An induced matching in a graph is a set of pairwise non-adjacent edges such that no edge of the gra...
We introduce a Frobenius-norm-based class of block matrices in which the interaction between diagonal and off-diagonal blocks is measured directly through the preconditioned blocks
This paper presents an analytical and control model for a fractional-order delayed predator–prey system with a Holling Type-III functional response. In the model, Caputo fractional derivatives capture long-term memory and hereditary effects in...
