The work described in this paper is inspired by SpikeNET, a system developed to test the feasibility of using rank-order codes in modelling largescale networks of asynchronously spiking neurons. The rank-order code theory proposed by Thorpe concerns the encoding of information by a population of spiking neurons in the primate visual system. The theory proposes using the order of firing across a...

This paper studies a financial exchange in which liquidity may “dry up” endogenously. The drought is generated on a model of a limit order book under conditions of asymmetric information and an evolving fundamental. The book exhibits an equilibrium spread that is in steady state when it balances the rate that traders acquire information with the rate at which their stock of information decays. ...

The concept of locally dually flat Finsler metrics originate from information geometry. As we know, (α, β)-metrics defined by a Riemannian metric α and an 1-form β, represent an important class of Finsler metrics, which contains the Matsumoto metric. In this paper, we study and characterize locally dually flat first approximation of the Matsumoto metric with isotropic S-curvature, which is not ...

This paper is focused on the coordination of order and production policy between buyers and suppliers in supply chains. When a buyer and a supplier of an item work independently, the buyer will place orders based on his economic order quantity (EOQ). However, the buyer’s EOQ may not lead to an optimal policy for the supplier. It can be shown that a cooperative batching policy can reduce total c...

In this paper, an inventory model for two-stage supply chain is investigated. A supply chain with single vendor and single buyer is considered. We assume that shortage as a backorder is allowed for the buyer and the vendor makes the production set up every time the buyer places an order and supplies on a lot for lot basis. With these assumptions, the joint economic lot size model is introduced ...

in studying the problems of complex systems, usually the noise is considered in relation 10 the concept of order. it means that order is assumed as the basic feature of system, per se. information also conceptually is used to be connected to entropy. negentropy , order, and disorder, proposed in thermodynamics in 19 century. but in recent theories, order and disorder both are the devices for me...

For at least partially ordered three-way tables, it is well known how to arithmetically decompose Pearson’s X2 P statistic into informative components that enable a close scrutiny of the data. Similarly well-known are smooth models for two-way tables from which score tests for homogeneity and independence can be derived. From these models, both the components of Pearson’s X2 P and information a...

This paper describes a groupware prototype addressing the alternative resolution of legal conflicts. The groupware prototype integrates the storytelling and argumentation models with the legal process, accomplishing two major complementary objectives: eliciting spontaneous and informal explanations about the conflict, while contributing to the process with correct inferences and logic. The pape...
