Proportional lumpability and proportional bisimilarity [PDF]
AbstractIn this paper, we deal with the lumpability approach to cope with the state space explosion problem inherent to the computation of the stationary performance indices of large stochastic models. The lumpability method is based on a state aggregation technique and applies to Markov chains exhibiting some structural regularity. Moreover, it allows

We extend the principle of proportional representation to rankings: given approval preferences, we aim to generate aggregate rankings so that cohesive groups of voters are represented proportionally in each initial segment of the ranking. Such rankings are desirable in situations where initial segments of different lengths may be relevant, e.g., in ...

Dynamic Proportional Rankings [PDF]
Proportional ranking rules aggregate approval-style preferences of agents into a collective ranking such that groups of agents with similar preferences are adequately represented. Motivated by the application of live Q&A platforms, where submitted questions need to be ranked based on the interests of the audience, we study a dynamic extension of ...

Modelling cell movement, cell differentiation, cell sorting and proportion regulation in Dictyostelium discoideum aggregations [PDF]
Understanding the mechanisms that control tissue morphogenesis and homeostasis is a central goal not only in developmental biology but also has great relevance for our understanding of various diseases, including cancer.

An alternative to proportional‐integral and proportional‐integral‐derivative regulators: Intelligent proportional‐derivative regulators [PDF]
AbstractThis paper suggests to replace Proportional‐Integral and Proportional‐Integral‐Derivative regulators, which play a key rôle in control engineering, by intelligent Proportional‐Derivative feedback loops, or iPDs, which are derived from model‐free control. This standpoint is enhanced by a laboratory experiment.

The effect of age and study duration on the relationship between 'clustering' of DNA fingerprint patterns and the proportion of tuberculosis disease attributable to recent transmission. [PDF]
Though it is recognized that the extent of 'clustering' of isolates from tuberculosis cases in a given population is related to the amount of disease attributable to recent transmission, the relationship between the two statistics is poorly understood ...
