We identify a new channel through which schools can potentially manipulate the wellknown student and school optimal stable mechanisms. We introduce two different fictitious students creation manipulation notions where one of them is stronger. While the student and school optimal stable mechanisms turn out to be weakly fictitious student-proof under acyclic (Ergin (2002)) and essentially homogen...

Motivated by the numerical simulation of particulate flow with slip boundary conditions at the interface fluid/particles, our goal, in this publication, is to discuss a fictitious domain method for the solution of linear elliptic boundary value problems with Robin boundary conditions. The method is of the virtual control type and relies on a least-squares formulation making the problem solvable...

A new numerical method based on fictitious domain methods for shape optimization problerns governed by the Poisson équation is proposed. The basic idea is to combine the boundary variation technique, in which the mesh is moving during the optimization, and efficient fictitious domain preconditioning in the solution of the (adjoint) state équations. Neumann boundary value problems are solved usi...

the bem is applied to the solution of the torsion problem of non-homogeneous anisotropic non-circular prismatic bars. the problem is formulated in terms of the warping function. this formulation leads to a second order partial differential equation with variable coefficients, subjected to a generalized neumann type boundary condition. the problem is solved using the analog equation method (aem)...

regarding the formative period of shi'i islam and shi'i intellectual history, seyyed hosein modarresi tabatabayi in his work (“maktab dar farayande takamol”) proposed a plan according to which he claimed that some of the shi'i traditions (ahadith) which are not consistent with his plan, are fictitious. examining the sufficiency and correctness of his arguments, we can classify hi...

Prices in a wide variety of contexts come in three parts: an “original” or “suggested” price, a discount off that price, and the final price. Little empirical evidence is available that speaks to how each pricing component affects purchase behavior, even as theories abound. This paper outlines the main theories of fictitious pricing with their corresponding predictions and examines their releva...

What modern game theorists describe as “fictitious play” is not the learning process George W. Brown defined in his 1951 paper. His original version differs in a subtle detail, namely the order of belief updating. In this note we revive Brown’s original fictitious play process and demonstrate that this seemingly innocent detail allows for an extremely simple and intuitive proof of convergence i...

Because of installation for local consumers and since it is free of all contaminations, connecting photovoltaic cells to the grid via single-phase inverter is significantly on the rise. In this paper, a new simple current control is proposed for a single-phase grid-connected voltage source inverter. Using the PQ theory and modelling a single-phase system as an unbalanced three-phase system, a m...
