This study were examined relationship between bank credits and investment growth of agricultural sector in Iran during the period of 1982-2011 by auto regressive distribution lag bounds test approach. Basically, the growth investing of the agricultural sector in Iran is related to oil revenues, bank credits, value added of agriculture sector and capital stock. The results confirm the existence ...

Linear programming (polynomial) techniques are used to obtain lower and upper bounds for the potential energy of spherical designs. This approach gives unified bounds that are valid for a large class of potential functions. Our lower bounds are optimal for absolutely monotone potentials in the sense that for the linear programming technique they cannot be improved by using polynomials of the sa...

in the classical data envelopment analysis (dea) models, inputs and outputs are assumed as known variables, and these models cannot deal with unknown amounts of variables directly. in recent years, there are few researches on handling missing data. this paper suggests a new interval based approach to apply missing data, which is the modified version of kousmanen (2009) approach. first, the prop...

This paper investigates the relationship between macroeconomic instability and private investment of the Iranian economy. The study uses a trivariate VAR(2)-GARCH(1,1)-in-Mean with diagonal BEKK approach to proxied inflation and exchange rate uncertainties as the main indicators of macroeconomic instability. Moreover, Bounds testing approach to level relationship applied to investigate the long...

We study the combinatorics of fully commutative elements in Coxeter groups of type H n for any n > 2. Using the results, we construct certain canonical bases for non-simply-laced generalized Temperley–Lieb algebras and show how to relate them to morphisms in the category of decorated tangles.

We address the attainability of the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds for multiphase composite materials. We demonstrate that the Hashin-Shtrikman bounds are not always attainable and give new restrictions on the attainable Hashin-Shtrikman bounds in terms of the conductivities and volume fractions of the constituent phases. New optimal microstructures are also constructed to attain the Hashin-Shtrikman ...

This paper examines various transmission mechanism channels on economic growth in Malaysia over the quarterly period 1980:1-2004:4 using bounds testing approach. The bounds test reveals evidence of cointegration between the real GDP and the real exchange rate and share prices that address the exchange rate and asset price channels as the key transmission mechanisms in the conduct of the monetar...

We develop an approach to test suite generation for Constrained Combinatorial Testing (CCT), one of the most widely studied combinatorial testing techniques, based on Answer Set Programming (ASP). The resulting catnap system accepts a CCT instance in fact format and combines it with a first-order encoding for generating test suites, which can subsequently be solved by any off-the-shelf ASP syst...
