Uncertainty associated with mixing models is often substantial, but has not yet been fully incorporated in models. The objective of this study is to develop and apply a Bayesian-mixing model that estimates probability distributions of source contributions to a mixture associated with multiple sources for assessing the uncertainty estimation in sediment fingerprinting in Zidasht catchment, Iran....

Abstract – Distributed generation (DG) technology is known as an efficient solution for applying in distribution system planning (DSP) problems. Load growth uncertainty associated with distribution network is a significant source of uncertainty which highly affects optimal management of DGs. In order to handle this problem, a novel model is proposed in this paper based on DG solution, consideri...

Let H be a Heisenberg superalgebra. In this paper, the definition of biderivations and the properties of biderivations on Lie superalgebras are introduced. And some properties of biderivations on Heisenberg superalgebras are introduced by the definition of Heisenberg superalge-bras.

We construct an anisotropic, degenerate, fractional operator that nevertheless satisfies a strong form of the maximum principle. By applying such an operator to the concavity function associated to the solution of an equation involving the usual fractional Laplacian, we obtain a fractional form of the celebrated convexity maximum principle devised by Korevaar in the 80’s. Some applications are ...

We introduce reserve prices in the literature concerning all-pay auctions with complete information, and reconsider the case for the so-called Exclusion Principle (namely, the fact that the seller may find it in her best interest to exclude the bidders with the largest willingness to pay for the prize). We show that a version of it extends to our setting. However, we also show that the Exclusio...

Previous research has demonstrated that risk and ambiguity preferences are both influenced by a decision-maker’s perceived sense of competence. However, related research has been limited to the effects of task-specific competence rather than those of general competence. In this paper, we argue that a perception of competence need not be related to the domain of the evaluated decision in order t...
