A feasible alternative x is a strong Condorcet winner if for every other feasible alternative y there is some majority coalition that prefers x to y. Let LC (resp., ℘C) denote the set of all profiles of linear (resp., merely asymmetric) individual preference relations for which a strong Condorcet winner exists. Majority rule is the only non-dictatorial and strategy-proof social choice rule with...

BACKGROUND Ventilator resetting is frequently needed to adjust tidal volume, pressure and gas exchange. The system comprising lungs and ventilator is so complex that a trial and error strategy is often applied. Comprehensive characterization of lung physiology is feasible by monitoring. The hypothesis that the effect of ventilator resetting could be predicted by computer simulation based on a p...

This paper deals with the approximation of sets of linear time-invariant systems via orthonormal basis functions. This problem is relevant to conditional set membership identification, where a set of feasible systems is available from observed data, and a reduced-complexity model must be estimated. The basis of the model class is made of impulse responses of linear filters. The objective of the...

based on existence of the chromite deposits in the sistan and baluchestan province in iran, and also various applications of chromite in different industries, it is expected that the establishment of chromite processing plant is required in the erelong. the geographical location of a processing plant can have a strong influence on the success of an industrial venture. the processing plant site ...

This paper studies if and to which extent COVID-19 epidemics can be controlled by authorities taking decisions on public health measures the basis of daily reports swab test results, active cases total cases. A suitably simplified process model is derived support controllability analysis, highlighting presence very significant time delay; validated with data from several outbreaks. The analysis...

in this paper, using monte carlo fortran code, we have obtained the binding energies for three different systems of diquark–antidiquark in distances from 0.01 to 15 nm. in [0.1 - 15] nm interval, we made use of coulomb potential because in this interval, strong interaction is negligible. we have compared the binding energies of the systems with one another. the results of these comparisons were...

Maximize ZD = b T y s.t. (D) A y + s = c, s ≥ 0n. where we have here chosen to add slack variables s ≥ 0n. The simplex method, as presented previously, works by starting with an initial basic feasible solution to (P) (which can be found via a phase 1 problem). However, what if a dual feasible basis is immediately available, whereas a basic feasible solution to (P) is harder to obtain? Can this ...
