the scarcity of water resources and supply resources limitation, have caused an increasing gap between water supply and demand specially in recent decades in almost all regions of the globe. one of the best known solutions proposed by the economists is using the different water pricing approaches thereby obtaining the optimal allocation and social justice. to this purpose, this paper uses the p...

During the past years Lindquist and coworkers have formulated and studied the so called generalized maximum entropy problem. It generalizes the maximum entropy problem and thus includes problem like the Carathéodory extension problem and the Nevanlinna-Pick interpolation problem. A central ingredient in the theory is the dual (in mathematical programming sense) convex optimization problem. This...

bin size is one of the fundamental and key parameters in 3d land seismic operation design and has an important role in the determination and calculation of other design parameters. therefore, optimization of this parameter is vital. in this study a new method for optimization of the bin size has been used. the optimization algorithm is linear and based on a mathematical model. due to the relati...

Marques and Almeida [9] recently proposed a nonlinear data seperation technique based on the maximum entropy principle of Bell and Sejnowsky. The idea behind is a pattern repulsion model alluding to repulsion of physical particles in a restricted system which leads to a uniform distribution, hence a maximum entropy, under certain conditions to the energy function. In this paper, we want to revi...
