Nonlinear EngineeringThe study aspires to adopt back propagation fuzzy neural networks to solve fuzzy quadratic programming problems. The main motivation behind proposing a back propagation neural network is that it can easily adjust and fine-tune the weights of the network ...

Mean-Variance-Skewness Portfolio Performance Gauging: A General Shortage Function and Dual Approach [PDF]
This paper proposes a nonparametric efficiency measurement approach for the static portfolio selection problem in mean-variance-skewness space. A shortage function is defined that looks for possible increases in return and skewness and decreases in ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

Beam search heuristics for quadratic earliness and tardiness scheduling [PDF]
In this paper, we present beam search heuristics for the single machine scheduling problem with quadratic earliness and tardiness costs, and no machine idle time. These heuristics include classic beam search procedures, as well as filtered and recovering

On quadratic estimates of variance components
, 1952 Quadratic estimates of variance components for various linear models were investigated;For the general balanced nested classification with no specific distributions assumed, it was shown that the quadratic estimate which was unbiased and which had ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Vertically oriented van der Waals MoS2 thin films enable a mechanically programmable crack network for strain sensing. The initial mechanical programming protocol establishes a programmed crack configuration along weak interlayer and interdomain interfaces.

Hedging European Derivatives with the Polynomial Variance Swap under Uncertain Volatility Environments [PDF]
This paper proposes a new hedging scheme of European derivatives under uncertain volatility environments, in which a weighted variance swap called the polynomial variance swap is added to the Black-Scholes delta hedging for managing exposure to ...

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

Semi-bayesian D-optimal designs and estimation procedures for mean and variance functions. [PDF]
Semi-Bayesian D-optimal designs for fitting mean and variance functions are derived for some prior distributions on the variance function parameters. The impact of the mean of the prior and of the uncertainty about this mean is analyzed.
