  • Unambiguous discrimination between mixed quantum states 
    Feng Yuan; Duan Runyao; Ying Mingsheng (American Physical Society, 2004)
    We prove that the states secretly chosen from a mixed state set can be perfectly discriminated if and only if they are orthogonal. The sufficient and necessary condition under which nonorthogonal mixed quantum states can ...
  • Unambiguous Discrimination Of Mixed Quantum States 
    Zhang Chengqi; Feng Yuan; Ying Mingsheng (Elsevier Science Bv, 2006)
    The problem of unambiguous discrimination between mixed quantum states is addressed by isolating the part of each mixed state which has no contribution to discrimination and by employing the strategy of set discrimination ...
  • Universal laws and economic phenomena 
    Gerig Austin (Wiley, 2011)
    Despite the idiosyncratic behavior of individuals, empirical regularities exist in social and economic systems. These regularities often arise from simple underlying mechanisms which, analogous to the natural sciences, can ...
  • The urban spread of visceral leishmaniasis: Clues from spatial analysis 
    Werneck G.; Costa C.; Walker A.; David J.; Wand Matthew; Maguire J. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc, 2002)
    Background. The pattern of spread of visceral leishmaniasis in Brazilian cities is poorly understood. Methods. We used geographic information systems and spatial statistics to evaluate the distribution of 1061 ...
  • The use of balanced incomplete block designs in designing randomized response surveys 
    Smith Narelle; Street Deborah (Blackwell Publishing, 2005)
    This paper investigatesthe block total response method proposed by Raghavarao and Federer for providing accurate estimates of the base rates of sensitive characteristics during surveys. It determines the best balanced ...
  • The Use of Stochastic Processes in Bridge Maintenance Optimisation 
    Samali Bijan; Crews Keith; Aboura Khalid; Li Jianchun (UTS ePress, 2009)
    We introduce an approach for modelling the structural deterioration of components of bridges for maintenance optimization purposes. The Markov chain model is found in the maintenance and repair problems since the early ...
  • Using Association Rules And Particle Swarm Optimization Approach For Part Change 
    Wang Her-Shing; Yeh Wei-Chang; Huang Pei; Chang Wei-Wen (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009)
    This study proposed on applying the Association Rule to the corporate maintenance center database, to investigate common dysfunctions associated with proper product using the products as instructed, so as to alter product ...
  • Using Infer.NET for statistical analyses 
    Wang S.; Wand Matthew (American Statistical Association, 2011)
    We demonstrate and critique the new Bayesian inference package Infer.NET in terms of its capacity for statistical analyses. Infer.NET differs from the well-known BUGS Bayesian inference packages in that its main engine is ...
  • Using Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm For Partner Selection In Green Supply Chain Problems 
    Yeh Wei-Chang; Chuang Mei-Chi (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011)
    Partner selection is an important issue in the supply chain management. Since environment protection has been of concern to public in recent years, and the traditional supplier selection did not consider about this factor; ...
  • Utility of gambling under p(olynomial)-additive joint receipt and segregation or duplex decomposition 
    Marley Anthony; T Ng; Luce R (Elsevier, 2009)
    This article continues our exploration of the utility of gambling, but here under the assumption of a non-additive but p(olynomial)-additive representation of joint receipt. That assumption causes the utility of gambling ...
  • UV-induced modification of stress distribution in optical fibers and its contribution to bragg grating birefringence 
    Belhadj Nezih; Park Yongwoo; Larochelle Sophie; Dossou Kokou; Azana Jose (Optical Society of America, 2008)
    This paper discusses the importance of stress-induced contributions to the photo-induced birefringence observed in fiber Bragg gratings. Optical tomography measurements are performed in exposed and unexposed fibers to ...
  • Variational Bayesian inference for parametric and nonparametric regression with missing data 
    Faes C.; Ormerod J.; Wand Matthew (American Statistical Association, 2011)
    Bayesian hierarchical models are attractive structures for conducting regression analyses when the data are subject to missingness. However, the requisite probability calculus is challenging and Monte Carlo methods typically ...
  • A Volatility Decomposition Control Variate Technique For Monte Carlo Simulations Of Heath Jarrow Morton Models 
    Chiarella Carl; Clewlow Les; Musti Silvana (Elsevier Science Bv, 2005)
    The aim of this work is to develop a simulation approach to the yield curve evolution in the Heath, Jarrow and Morton [Econometrica 60 (1) (1992) 77] framework. The stochastic quantities considered as affecting the forward ...
  • The volatility structure of the fixed income market under the HJM framework: A nonlinear filtering approach 
    Chiarella Carl; Hung Hing; To Thuy-Duong (Elsevier, 2009)
    The dynamics for interest rate processes within the well-known multi-factor Heath, Jarrow and Morton (HJM) specification are considered. Despite the flexibility of and the notable advances in theoretical research about the ...
  • Walrasian equilibrium in matching models 
    Wooders John (Elsevier Science Bv, 1998)
    We analyze trading in a model in which the agents and their preferences are the same as in the main models of matching and bargaining, but in which trade is centralized rather than decentralized. We characterize equilibrium ...
  • Wavelet Analysis of The Cost-of-carry Model 
    Stevenson, M. J; Lin, S. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology Press, 2001)
    In this paper, it is shown how one can employ the wavelet analysis to reconstruct data based only on the subset of information that differentiates the twofundamentally related time series: spot and futures indices. Such ...
  • Weak discrete time approximation of stochastic differential equations with time delay 
    Platen Eckhard; Kuechler Uwe (Elsevier Science, 2001)
    This paper considers the derivation of weak discrete time approximations for solutions of stochastic differential equations with time delay. These are suitable for Monte Carlo simulation and allow the computation of ...
  • Weakly Symmetric Graphs, Elementary Landscapes, and the TSP 
    Barnes J; Solomon Andrew; Acevedo Rudy; Dokov Stefcho (Elsevier, 2003)
    Weakly symmetric graphs are defined and their construction from symmetric graphs is explained. It is shown that the TSP on a weakly symmetric graph joined with each of a number of well-known local search neighbourhoods ...
  • What on earth is sustainability in mathematics? 
    Reid, A.; Petocz, P. (New Zealand Mathematical Society and the Department of Mathematics University of Auckland, 2003)
    We examine the problems of integrating issues of sustainability within the mainstream curriculum of university mathematics, taking our cue from the discussion at the Johannesburg Earth Summit. Our approach to the problem ...
