Archimedes computed the center of mass of several regions and bodies [Dijksterhuis], and this fundamental physical notion may very well be due to him. He based his investigations of this concept on the notion of moment as it is used in his Law of the Lever. A hyperbolic version of this law was formulated in the nineteenth century leading to the notion of a hyperbolic center of mass of two point...

We propose a new class of aggregation operator based on utility function and apply them to group decision-making problem. First of all, based on an optimal deviation model, a new operator called the interval generalized ordered weighted utility multiple averaging (IGOWUMA) operator is proposed, it incorporates the risk attitude of decision-makers (DMs) in the aggregation process. Some desirable...

In this paper we investigate an optimal investment and consumption problem for an investor who trades in a Black-Scholes financial market with stochastic coefficients driven by a non-Gaussian Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. We assume that an agent makes consumption and investment decisions based on a HARA utility function. By applying the usual separation method in the variables, we are faced with ...

A large class of explicit hyperbolic monopole solutions can be obtained from JNR instanton data, if the curvature of hyperbolic space is suitably tuned. Here we provide explicit formulae for both the monopole spectral curve and its rational map in terms of JNR data. Examples with platonic symmetry are presented, together with some one-parameter families with cyclic and dihedral symmetries. Thes...

In Analytic SSA, an approximate upper bound to the logdet term in Eq. 4 is computed (Hara et al., 2012). Without re-deriving this bound entirely, we present its final steps, which we use to obtain the bounds for KSSA and NLSSA.

We describe a new proof of the complete integrability of the two related dynamical systems: the billiard inside the ellipsoid and the geodesic flow on the ellipsoid (in Euclidean, spherical or hyperbolic space). The proof is based on the construction of a metric on the ellipsoid whose nonparameterized geodesics coincide with those of the standard metric. This new metric is induced by the hyperb...

To evaluate the applicability of leaf and canopy photosynthesis models, we compared performance of 6 leaf models and validated 1 canopy model of photosynthesis based on field data of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) plantations on a Loess Plateau in northern China. Leaf photosynthetic light response curves and diurnal canopy photosynthetic rates were observed in the field in August 2009. ...

For the theoretical study of real-world networks, we propose a model of scale-free randomgraphs with underlying geometry that we call geometric inhomogeneous random graphs (GIRGs).GIRGs generalize hyperbolic random graphs, which are a popular model to test algorithms forsocial and technological networks. Our generalization overcomes some limitations of hyperbolicrandom graphs, w...

In numerous applications, a hierarchy of models is available to describe the phenomenon under consideration. We focus in this work on general hyperbolic systems with stiff relaxation source terms together with the corresponding hyperbolic equilibrium systems. The goal is to determine the regions of the computational domain where the relaxation model (so-called fine model) can be replaced by the...
