We prove the existence and the invariance of a Gibbs measure associated to the defocusing sub-quintic Nonlinear Schrödinger equations on the disc of the plane R 2. We also prove an estimate giving some intuition to what may happen in 3 dimensions. Résumé. On démontre l'existence et l'invariance d'une mesure de Gibbs par le flot de l'´ equation de Schrödinger non linéaire posée sur le disque du ...

Executive Summary • Issuers and states faced considerable challenges in 2018 due to federal policy changes and uncertainty, including reduced carrier participation and the need to make premium work-arounds to address the removal of direct federal funding for the cost-sharing reduction (“CSR”) program. For those receiving subsidies, their premium cost fell on average 3 percent in federally facil...

This report details the investigations undertaken to date in the general area of community-area networking. It proposes that existing networking mechanisms are not suited sufficiently to enable a newly emerging class of community-area network; one where individuals connect together directly their home and personal-area networks, to form a local neighbourhood mesh or community network. A backgro...

This paper describes yet another series of C compilers. These compilers were developed over the last several years and are now in use on Plan 9. These compilers are experimental in nature and were developed to try out new ideas. Some of the ideas were good and some not so good.

This paper develops a two-stage planning procedure for master planning of elective and emergency patients while allocating at best the available hospital resources. Four types of resources are considered: operating theatre, beds in the medium and in the intensive care units, and nursing hours in the intensive care unit. A tactical plan is obtained by minimizing the deviations of the resources c...

State-of-the-art dynamic middleware uses information about the environment in order to evaluate alternative configurations of an application and select one according to some criteria. In the context of applications sensitive to Quality of Service, we have identified the need for a platform independent description of configurations that includes non-functional behaviour, and that allows handling...

We extend the contingent claims framework for the levered firm in explicitly modeling the resolution of financial distress under formal bankruptcy as a non-cooperative game between claimants under the supervision of the bankruptcy judge. The identity of the class of claimants proposing the first reorganization plan is found to be a key determinant of the likelihood of liquidation and of the ren...

Domain applications in planning vary in the extent to which situational uncertainty can undermine the ability of an agent to act successfully. For domains in which observation alone is unable to render the outcome to a situation certain enough to inform action, plan recognition plays a crucial role in dynamically modelling situational outcomes. It also diminishes the need to sense situational i...

Since 2002, the healthcare system in Taiwan has implemented a global budgeting scheme in clinics and hospitals with an expenditure cap. The current mode of payment for medical points in Taiwan is primarily through the fee-for-service (FFS) mechanism. This payment mechanism has diminished the quality of services that clinics and hospitals provide to patients. Furthermore, FFS does not grant ince...

In this paper, we propose a robust hierarchical production planning approach for a two-stage real world capacitated production system operating in an uncertain environment. The first stage of the system produces a set of semi-finished products having relatively stable annual demands, and the second finishing stage produces finished products having highly variable weekly demands. The fixed produ...
