We consider a supply function equilibrium (SFE) model of interaction in an electricity market. We assume a linear demand function and consider a competitive fringe and several strategic players having capacity limits and affine marginal costs. The choice of SFE over Cournot equilibrium and other models and the choice of affine marginal costs is reviewed in the context of the existing literature...

Constrained optimization problems have a wide range of applications in science, economics, and engineering. In this paper, a neural network model is proposed to solve a class of nonsmooth constrained optimization problems with a nonsmooth convex objective function subject to nonlinear inequality and affine equality constraints. It is a one-layer non-penalty recurrent neural network based on the...

We prove that any arithmetically Gorenstein curve on a smooth, general hypersurface X ⊂ P of degree at least 6, is a complete intersection. This gives a characterisation of complete intersection curves on general type hypersurfaces in P. We also verify that certain 1-cycles on a general quintic hypersurface are non-trivial elements of the Griffiths group.

background: rose bengal is a common test for serologic diagnosis of brucellosis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the agreement rate between modified rose bengal, rose bengal and rapid wright tests for detection of antibody positive serum samples.  methods: c ross section study was designed. 941 serum sample of patients referred to the central medical laboratory of kermanshah, were evaluat...

Piecewise affine neural networks can be constructed to emulate any continuous piecewise affine function in any hypercube of its input space. This property can be used to initialize such a network with a set of linear controllers, where each of them is known to be efficient locally. This paper expose and illustrate this properties of piecewise affine neural networks.

A simple construction of adaptive confidence sets is proposed in isotonic, convex and unimodal regression. In univariate isotonic regression, the set enjoys uniform coverage over all non-decreasing regression functions. Furthermore, diameter automatically adapts to unknown number pieces true parameter, sense that bounded from above by minimax risk class $k$-piecewise constant The a increasing f...

locally extended affine lie algebras were introduced by morita and yoshii in [j. algebra 301(1) (2006), 59-81] as a natural generalization of extended affine lie algebras. after that, various generalizations of these lie algebras have been investigated by others. it is known that a locally extended affine lie algebra can be recovered from its centerless core, i.e., the ideal generated by weight...

Boolean function in even number of variables is called bent if it is at the maximal possible Hamming distance from the class of all affine Boolean functions. We have proven that every isometric mapping of the set of all Boolean functions into itself that transforms bent functions into bent functions is a combination of an affine transform of coordinates and an affine shift.
