This study introduces a nonlinear deterministic approach for streamflow disaggregation. According to this approach, the streamflow transformation process from one scale to another is treated as a nonlinear deterministic process, rather than a stochastic process as generally assumed. The approach follows two important steps: (1) reconstruction of the scalar (streamflow) series in a multidimensio...

The main purpose of the diagnosis test pattern generation is to give the enough information for fault diagnosis during the manufacturing time. The most of the test generation methods are simulation based and have probabilistic nature. In this paper I propose the deterministic approach, which guarantees fault distinguishability. Algorithm is single stuck-at fault based. I perform some optimizati...

Abstract: We prove an existence and uniqueness result for the solutions to the Skorokhod problem on uniformly prox-regular sets through a deterministic approach. This result can be applied in order to investigate some regularity properties of the value function for differential games with reflection on the boundary.

When a nurse at a hospital is unable to be in charge of any of his/her assigned shifts, the roster should be rescheduled to cope with it, which is called nurse rerostering problem. In this problem, we are supposed to find a new one which is close to the given as well as satisfies all the constraints that it inherits from nurse scheduling problem which built the roster. It was proved NP-complete...

We present a deterministic channel model which captures several key features of multiuser wireless communication. We consider a model for a wireless network with nodes connected by such deterministic channels , and present an exact characterization of the end-to-end capacity when there is a single source and a single destination and an arbitrary number of relay nodes. This result is a natural g...

Our aim is to model the dynamics of social networks, which comprises the problem of how people get to know each other, like each other, detest each other, etc. Most existing models are stochastic in nature and, obviously, based on random events. Our approach is deterministic and based on ordinary differential equations. This should not be seen as a challenge to stochastic models, but rather as ...

Multistable perception is perception in which two (or more) interpretations of the same ambiguous image alternate while an obserber looks at them. Perception undergoes involuntary and random-like change. The question arises whether the apparent randomness of alternation is real (that is, due to a stochastic process) or whether any underlying deterministic structure to it exists. In this paper, ...

This demonstration gives an overview of our deterministic analog placement approach Plantage [9]. Guided by the hierarchical structure of an analog circuit, Plantage generates a set of placements.
