This paper proposes an integrated magnetic structure for a CLLC resonant converter. With the proposed structure, two inductances and transformer are into one core, which improves power density of In decoupled with can be adjusted by number turns in each inductance. Furthermore, coupled to reduce As result, conduction loss reduced. The trade-off design is carried out based on Pareto optimization...

This report investigates 2nd Fall and 3rd Fall retention rates by Expected Family Contribution (EFC) for recent full-time, first-time (FTFT) freshman cohorts. This report serves as an update to, and extension of, prior retention by EFC reports that focused on 2 Fall Retention as the sole dependent variable. Sub-groups of interest including First Generation students, minority ethnicity students,...

How should countries cooperate in setting fiscal and trade policies when government expenditures must be financed with distorting taxes? We show that even if cannot make explicit transfers to each other, every point on the Pareto frontier is production efficient, so international capital flows effectively free. Trade agreements supplemented policy agreements. Residence-based income tax systems ...

Abstract In this paper, we propose an approach to explore reinsurance optimization for a non-life multi-line insurer through simulation model that combines alternative treaties. Based on the Solvency II framework, maximises both solvency ratio and portfolio performance under user-defined constraints. Data visualisation helps understanding numerical results and, together with concept of Pareto f...

Abstract The issue of carbon emission reduction has attracted extensive attention in academic circles, but there are few studies on the Pareto frontier analysis multi-depot green vehicle routing problem with multi-objective. In order to effectively balance economic and environmental effects, this paper constructs a bi-objective optimization model for open problems time windows, which takes oper...

Stock portfolio selection is a classic problem in finance, and it involves deciding how to allocate an institution’s or an individual’s wealth to a number of stocks, with certain investment objectives (return and risk). In this paper, we adopt the classical Markowitz mean-variance model and consider an additional common realistic constraint, namely, the cardinality constraint. Thus, stock portf...

A central authority possessing tax and expenditure responsibilities can readily provide an efficient level of a public good. Absent a central authority, voluntary arrangements must replace coercive ones, and significant under-provision must be expected. International public goods are particularly challenging due to the substantial asymmetries among nations. Small-interest nations have strong in...

In many practical cases, we need to generalize a model trained in a source domain to a new target domain. However, the distribution of these two domains may differ very significantly, especially sometimes some crucial target features may not have support in the source domain. This paper proposes a novel locality preserving projection method for domain adaptation task, which can find a linear ma...

In managerial and economic applications, there appear problems in which the goal is to simultaneously optimize several criteria functions (CFs). However, since the CFs are in conflict with each other in such cases, there is not a feasible point available at which all CFs could be optimized simultaneously. Thus, in such cases, a set of points, referred to as 'non-dominate' points (NDPs), will be...
