where p,q and r are arbitrary constants. We construct twenty five exact traveling wave solutions of the (1+1)-dimensional modified KdV equation involving parameter by applying this method. The solutions are presented in terms of the hyperbolic, the trigonometric and the rational functional form including solitons and periodic solutions. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that one of our obtained ...

Considerable experimental evidence suggests that non-pecuniary motives must be addressed when modeling behavior in economic contexts. Recent models of non-pecuniary motives can be classified as either altruism-based, equity-based, or reciprocity-based. We estimate and compare leading approaches in these categories, using experimental data. We then offer a flexible approach that nests the above ...

For subspaces, X and Y , of the space, D, of all derivatives M(X, Y ) denotes the set of all g ∈ D such that fg ∈ Y for all f ∈ X. Subspaces of D are defined depending on a parameter p ∈ [0,∞]. In Section 6, M(X, D) is determined for each of these subspaces and in Section 7, M(X, Y ) is found for X and Y any of these subspaces. In Section 3, M(X, D) is determined for other spaces of functions o...

Today, half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. By 2050, 70 percent of the population will be urban. India has been witnessing massive urbanization. Over the six decades since independence, India’s population grew three-fold from 350 million in 1947 to 1027 million in the year in 2001. During the same period, the urban population grew almost 4.6 fold as fast – from 62.4 million to 2...

Changing the internal structure of a program without changing its behavior is called restructuring. This paper presents a transformation called tuck for restructuring programs by decomposing large functions into small functions. Tuck consists of three steps: Wedge, Split, and Fold. A wedge—a subset of statements in a slice—contains computations that are related and that may create a meaningful ...

The impact-parameter representation of the spin-flip amplitude of hadron elastic scattering is examined in different unitarisation schemes, taking the Born term of the spin-flip amplitude from the Dubna Dynamical Model (DDM). It is shown that the basic properties of the unitarisation schemes are independent of the functional form used for unitarisation but heavily depend on the asymptotic value...

in this paper, we obtain  bayesian prediction intervals as well as bayes predictive estimatorsunder square error loss for generalized order statistics when the distribution of the underlying population belongs to a family which includes several important distributions.

It is well known that principal component analysis (PCA) only considers the second-order statistics and that independent component analysis (ICA) exploits higher-order statistics of the data. In this paper, for whitened data, we give an elegant way to incorporate higherorder statistics implicitly in the form of second-order moments, and show that ICA can be performed by PCA following a simple t...

This paper derives a model of maintenance and repair expenses from an analytical framework based on rational economic behavior in which maintenance, utilization and service life are appropriately integrated and estimates it with the help of data from 433 automobiles imported into Greece from various countries. On the theoretical plain it is shown that the model allows endogenously for most of t...
