research on popular music in iran has a short history. perhaps the article “sociology of the music of the masses in iran”, published in 1980, can be considered as the first methodological and systematic study on the popular music in iran.  in that article, the researcher, using marxist and neo-marxist approaches to study popular music, provides a general view on the music of the masses of the p...

We consider the popular matching problem in a roommates instance G = (V,E) with strict preference lists. While popular matchings always exist in a bipartite instance, they need not exist in a roommates instance. The complexity of the popular matching problem in a roommates instance has been an open problem for several years and here we show it is NP-hard. A sub-class of max-size popular matchin...

Since Pardoux and Peng introduced backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs in short), the theory of BSDEs has been widely developed, mainly because of a large part of problems in mathematical finance can be treated as a BSDE. However it is known that only a limited number of BSDE can be solved explicitly. To develop numerical method and numerical algorithm is very helpful, theoreticall...

In this paper we propose a class of new large-update primal-dual interior-point algorithms for P∗(κ) nonlinear complementarity problem (NCP), which are based on a class of kernel functions investigated by Bai et al. in their recent work for linear optimization (LO). The arguments for the algorithms are followed as Peng et al.’s for P∗(κ) complementarity problem based on the self-regular functio...
