We consider a supply function equilibrium (SFE) model of interaction in an electricity market. We assume a linear demand function and consider a competitive fringe and several strategic players having capacity limits and affine marginal costs. The choice of SFE over Cournot equilibrium and other models and the choice of affine marginal costs is reviewed in the context of the existing literature...

Let {fi : Fip → {0, 1}} be a sequence of functions, where p is a fixed prime and Fp is the finite field of order p. The limit of the sequence can be syntactically defined using the notion of ultralimit. Inspired by the Gowers norm, we introduce a metric over limits of function sequences, and study properties of it. One application of this metric is that it provides a characterization of affine-...

Constrained optimization problems have a wide range of applications in science, economics, and engineering. In this paper, a neural network model is proposed to solve a class of nonsmooth constrained optimization problems with a nonsmooth convex objective function subject to nonlinear inequality and affine equality constraints. It is a one-layer non-penalty recurrent neural network based on the...

We prove that any arithmetically Gorenstein curve on a smooth, general hypersurface X ⊂ P of degree at least 6, is a complete intersection. This gives a characterisation of complete intersection curves on general type hypersurfaces in P. We also verify that certain 1-cycles on a general quintic hypersurface are non-trivial elements of the Griffiths group.

Let $$u(\cdot ,\cdot )$$ be the Caffarelli–Silvestre extension of f. The first goal this article is to establish fractional trace-type inequalities involving In doing so, firstly, we Sobolev/logarithmic Sobolev/Hardy trace in terms $$\nabla _{(x,t)}u(x,t).$$ Then, prove anisotropic $$ {\partial _{t} u(x,t)}$$ or $$(-\varDelta )^{-\gamma /2}u(x,t)$$ only. Moreover, based on an estimate Fourier t...

  Background and Objective: Brucellosis is a main transmittable zoonotic disease, which is endemic, and a common health burden in Iran. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an essential enzyme which is involved in purine metabolism and its role in immune system is very important. The aim of this study was to determine serum changes of ADA and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in patients with brucellosi...
