Can citizens impact the broader discourse about an organization and its legitimacy? While social media have empowered to publicly question firms through large volumes of online evaluations, high heterogeneity their evaluations dilutes impact. Our empirical study applying a threshold vector autoregressive model (TVAR) analysis 2.5 million tweets 1,786 news articles tests condition by which conve...

In this paper, we introduce two general algorithms (one implicit and one explicit) for finding a common fixed point of a nonexpansive semigroup {T (s)}s≥0 in Hilbert spaces. We prove that both approaches converge strongly to a common fixed point of {T (s)}s≥0. Such common fixed point x∗ is the unique solution of some variational inequality, which is the optimality condition for some minimizatio...

smart home is composed of several controllers with different plants in control. if each controller works independently, without considering the mutual effect of the others in the control process, the whole system could definitely not converge to an optimum desired status and may not ever reach the demanded condition. the function of different controller system may has conflict in some condition...

The important and hazardous of the rescue mission in oceans and seas, autonomous vessels now are one of the most appropriate applications among others. Due to safety, reliability, and accessibility of smart, Autonomous and Cooperative vessels today has attracted much attention from the industry. Regard to the complication of the mono vessel for different objects, the multi- agent system was pro...
