Bat algorithm based on kinetic adaptation and elite communication for engineering problems
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.Abstract The Bat algorithm, a metaheuristic optimization technique inspired by the foraging behaviour of bats, has been employed to tackle optimization problems. Known for its ease of implementation, parameter tunability, and strong global search capabilities, this algorithm finds application across diverse optimization problem domains. However, in the

Skoda division of line bundle sections and pseudo-division [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 We first present a Skoda type division theorem for holomorphic sections of line bundles on a projective variety which is essentially the most general, compared to previous ones. It is derived from Varolin's theorem as a corollary. Then we revisit Geometric Effective Nullstellensatz and observe that even this general Skoda division is far from ...

Divisibility in elliptic divisibility sequences
, 2004 Certain elliptic divisibility sequences are shown to contain only finitely many prime power terms. In certain circumstances, the methods show only finitely many terms have length below a given bound.

Climate Moralities Offset: A Case of Formative Voluntary Carbon Markets
The British Journal of Sociology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article contributes to sociological scholarship on climate change by examining the development of the voluntary carbon offset market in Finland. While intended to address the collective challenge of climate change, voluntary carbon offsetting has faced criticism for commodifying emissions and shifting responsibility to specific actors ...

Inequalities in place‐based representation: Looking inside electoral districts
European Journal of Political Research, EarlyView.Abstract Do representatives provide fair and proportional representation to each place in their district or, rather, do they favour some places, creating winners and losers of representation? While the impact of geography on representation has been extensively examined in majoritarian systems, we know little about the geographical losers of ...

New examples of determinant divisibility sequences [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 In this paper we consider divisibility sequences obtained from square matrices. We work with of matrix divisibility sequences associated to a semigroup and arising from endomorphisms of an affine space. We prove that determinant divisibility sequences originated from powers of square matrices are generalized Lucas sequences.

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Using a new dataset, we study the pricing of a partial interest in a lumpy asset. Ex ante, it is unclear what a partial interest is worth due to countervailing factors which include asset quality, control benefits, asymmetrical information, and illiquidity.

On Critical Points for Gaussian Vectors with Infinitely Divisible Squares [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Investigates the size of the perturbation to the zero mean three dimensional Gaussian vector with infinitely divisible squares so that the infinite divisibility is retained.

Fast HARDI Uncertainty Quantification and Visualization with Spherical Sampling
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract In this paper, we study uncertainty quantification and visualization of orientation distribution functions (ODF), which corresponds to the diffusion profile of high angular resolution diffusion imaging (HARDI) data. The shape inclusion probability (SIP) function is the state‐of‐the‐art method for capturing the uncertainty of ODF ensembles. The
