For pairs of density operators on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces we define partial fidelities, prove their concavity and other properties. Partial fidelities characterize equivalence classes which are partially ordered in a natural way.

This paper presents a new approach to optimizing functional programs based on combining partial evaluation and rewriting. Programs are composed of higher-order primitives. Partial evaluation is used to eliminate higher-order functions. First-order rewriting is used to process the transformation. Laws about the higher-order primitives that are relevant for the optimizations are automatically ext...

In this paper, a collocation method for solving high-order linear partial differential equations (PDEs) with variable coefficients under more general form of conditions is presented. This method is based on the approximation of the truncated double exponential second kind Chebyshev (ESC) series. The definition of the partial derivative is presented and derived as new operational matrices of der...

This study models a joint pricing, inventory, and preservation decision-making problem for deteriorating items subject to stochastic demand and promotional effort. The generalized price-dependent stochastic demand, time proportional deterioration, and partial backlogging rates are used to model the inventory system. The objective is to find the optimal pricing, replenishment, and preservation t...

‎This paper presents an application of partial differential equations(PDEs) for the segmentation of abdominal and thoracic aortic in CTA datasets. An important challenge in reliably detecting aortic is the need to overcome problems associated with intensity inhomogeneities. Level sets are part of an important class of methods that utilize partial differential equations (PDEs) and have been exte...

To calculate partial and total productivity of production factors in broiler farms in Yazd province, 72 manufacturing units were selected based on simple random sampling method and their information and statistics were collected for one production period in the second half of 2013. To measure productivity, the Cobb-Douglas production function was estimated using classic and fuzzy regression met...

A partial function f on an k-element set Ek is a partial Sheffer function if every partial function on Ek is definable in terms of f . Since this holds if and only if f belongs to no maximal partial clone on Ek, a characterization of partial Sheffer functions reduces to finding families of minimal coverings of maximal partial clones on Ek. We show that for each k ≥ 2 there exists a unique minim...

nowadays, the environmental impact of transportation project and, especially air pollution impacts, are major concerns in evaluating transportation projects. based on this concern, beside definition of traditional objective functions like total travel time and total investment cost, different type of environmental related function is considered as objective function in urban network design. in ...
