This paper presents a procedure to determine a complete belief function from the known values of belief for some of the subsets of the frame of discerment. The method is based on the principle of minimum commitment and a new principle called the focusing principle. This additional principle is based on the idea that belief is specified for the most relevant sets: the focal elements. The resulti...

The popularity of auctions has increased dramatically with their introduction on the Internet. This migration has provided a unique opportunity to harness the power of computing to create new auction forms that were previously impossible. We describe a new type of combinatorial auction that accepts incompletely specified bids that provide a framework to guide, rather than dictate, the choice of...

It is known that any tame hyperbolic 3-manifold with infinite volume and a single end the geometric limit of sequence finite knot complements. Purcell Souto showed if original manifold embeds in 3-sphere, then such knots can be taken to lie 3-sphere. However, their proof was nonconstructive; no examples were produced. In this paper, we give constructive geometrically case. That is, given finite...

The formation constants of the species formed in the systems H+ + cytidine 5-monophosphate (CMP)and H+ + cytidine 5-monophosphate + Tl (I) ion have been determined in aqueous solution in a widepH range of 1.5 to 10.5 at 25 °C and different ionic strengths ranging from 0.1 to 1.5 moldm-3NaClO4, NaNO3, and NaCl using potentiometric-spectrophotometric technique. The composition ofthe complexes was...

The rouge waves in an optically injected semiconductor lasers are receiving a lot of interest. In this work, the generating and controlling of the rogue waves in semiconductor lasers have been investigated. For this purpose, the laser’s rate equations are solved numerically in a specified time interval, then the field amplitude and the intensity versus time are calculated and analyzed. To solve...
