In the restructured environment of electricity market, firstly the generating companies and the customers are looking for maximizing their profit and secondly independent system operator is looking for the stability of the power network and maximizing social welfare. In this paper, a one way auction in the electricity market for the generator companies is considered in both perfect and imperfec...

In this study, we consider the propagation of the Love-type wave in piezoelectric gradient covering layer on an elastic half-space having an imperfect interface between them. Dispersion relation has been obtained in the form of determinant for both electrically open and short cases. The effects of different material gradient coefficients of functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) and ...

This paper analyzed 96 current electronic negotiation models concerning their ability to handle imperfect information situations. The results of the empirical investigation show that most of the negotiation models assume imperfect information situations but mainly related to the negotiation partner. Research on imperfect described environments and negotiation items are not sufficient represente...

In the traditional economic order quantity/economic production quantity model, most of the items considered are of perfect type. But this situation rarely takes place in practice. Thus, in this paper, an economic order quantity model with imperfectquality items is developed. 100% screening process is performed, and the items of imperfect quality are sold as a single batch. A proportionate ra...

The reflection and transmission of thermoelastic plane waves at an imperfect boundary of two dissimilar fibre-reinforced transversely isotropic thermoelastic solid half-spaces under hydrostatic initial stress has been investigated. The appropriate boundary conditions are applied at the interface to obtain the reflection and transmission coefficients of various reflected and transmitted waves wi...

A positive integer n is called a k-imperfect number if kρ(n) = n for some integer k ! 2, where ρ is a multiplicative arithmetic function defined by ρ(pa) = pa−pa−1+pa−2−· · ·+ (−1)a for a prime power pa. In this paper, we prove that every odd k-imperfect number greater than 1 must be divisible by a prime greater than 102, give all k-imperfect numbers less than 232 = 4294 967 296, and give sever...
