In this work, we introduce a novel class of $C^1$ rational quadratic interpolation splines defined by two symmetric parameters. This generalization encompasses the rational quadratic interpolation schemes given by Schmidt in 1987 as a special case. For...

Cottonseed meal (CSM) and rapeseed meal (RSM) are protein sources in livestock feed. However, the applications of both ingredients are limited in diets due to the existence of anti-nutritional factors such as free gossypol and glucosinolate. The aim...

We consider a dynamic, discrete-time, game model where n players use a common resource and have different criteria to optimize. To construct a multicriteria Nash equilibrium the bargaining solution is adopted. To design a multicriteria cooperative eq...

This paper investigates the common coupled coincidence points and common coupled fixed points in fuzzy semi-metric spaces. The symmetric condition is not necessarily satisfied in fuzzy semi-metric space. Therefore, four kinds of triangle inequalities...

Thermodynamics is continuously spreading in the engineering practice, which is especially true for non-equilibrium models in continuum problems. Although there are concepts and approaches beyond the classical knowledge, which are known for decades, t...

AI plays a pivotal role in predicting plant growth in agricultural contexts and in creating optimized environments for cultivation. However, unlike agriculture, the application of AI in aquaculture is predominantly focused on diagnosing animal condit...

Nihilism about practical reasoning is the thesis that there is no such thing as practical rationality—as rationally figuring out what to do. While other philosophers have defended a theoretically oriented version of the thesis, usually called &...

In this work, we aim to formalize the inception of representative bubbles giving the condition under which they may arise. We will find that representative bubbles may start at any time, depending on the definition of a behavioral component. This res...

Overconfidence is a well-established behavioral bias that involves the overestimation of one’s own capabilities. We introduce a model in which managers and agents exert effort in a joint production, after the manager decides on the allocation o...

One proxy of price rationing of credit is an aggregation of information on interest rates, while loan officer survey data measures quantity rationing of credit, meaning some borrowers are denied loans. The latter Granger causes real GDP but the forme...

Developable surface plays an important role in geometric design, architectural design, and manufacturing of material. Bézier curve and surface are the main tools in the modeling of curve and surface. Since polynomial representations can not ex...

The global control problem of high-order nonlinear systems with unknown odd rational powers and nonlinearities has been solved in this paper for the first time. Barrier functions were introduced into the controller to set the controller free from rat...

Filtering has had a profound impact as a device of perceiving information and deriving agent expectations in dynamic economic models. For an abstract economic system, this paper shows that the foundation of applying the filtering method corresponds t...

Ensuring fire safety is an important condition for the successful operation of industrial enterprises. It is necessary to detect the threat of fire before the ignition. An indicator of danger is the appearance of gas, which occurs as a result of unau...

A review of the current state of the theory and practice of bioenergy production from waste allowed us to identify the scientific and applied problem of substantiating the rational configuration of a modular anaerobic bioenergy system, taking into ac...
