The recent data for Bose-Einstein Correlations (BEC) of three-charged particles obtained by NA44 Collaboration have been analysed using theoretical formula with Coulomb wave functions. It has been recently proposed by Alt et al. It turns out that there are discrepancies between these data and the respective theoretical values. To resolve this problem we seek a possibly improved theoretical form...

We present a novel formulation for startup cost computation in the unit commitment problem (UC). Both the proposed formulation and existing formulations in the literature are placed in a formal, theoretical dominance hierarchy based on their respective linear programming relaxations. The proposed formulation is tested empirically against existing formulations on large-scale unit commitment inst...

This paper contains a theoretical formulation of multiple interface cracks in two bonded dissimilar half planes subjected to in-plane traction. The distributed dislocation technique is used to construct integral equations for a dissimilar mediums weakened by several interface cracks. These equations are of Cauchy singular type at the location of dislocation, which are solved numerically to obta...

In this paper we analyze a new dual mixed formulation of the elastodynamic system in polygonal domains. In this formulation the symmetry of the strain tensor is relaxed by the rotational of the displacement. For the time discretization of this new dual mixed formulation, we use an explicit scheme. After the analysis of stability of the fully discrete scheme, L∞ in time, L2 in space a priori err...

This paper reports the results of our experiments performed for the Query Term Expansion Subtask, a subtask of the WEB Task, at the Fifth NTCIR Workshop, and the results of our further experiments. In this paper we mainly investigated: (i) the effectiveness of query formulation by composing or decomposing compound words and phrases of the Japanese language, which is based on a theoretical frame...
