background one of most important operations research problems is nurse scheduling problem (nsp) that tries to find an optimal way to assign nurses to shifts with a set of hard constraints. most of the researches are dealing with this problem in deterministic environment with constant parameters. while in the real world applications of nsp, the stochastic nature of some parameters like number of...

semilinear stochastic evolution equations with multiplicative l'evy noise are considered‎. ‎the drift term is assumed to be monotone nonlinear and with linear growth‎. ‎unlike other similar works‎, ‎we do not impose coercivity conditions on coefficients‎. ‎we establish the continuous dependence of the mild solution with respect to initial conditions and also on coefficients. ‎as corollaries of ...

in this short review we look at recent advances in schramm-loewner evolution (sle) theory and its application to critical phenomena. the application of sle goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. through the use of sle, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...

the aim of this work is to understand the relation between time and place that an earthquake takes place. in order to answer this question, the modified level crossing (mlc) technique has been implemented. by studying two earthquakes, one in iran and one in california we came to the conclusion that there is a relation between time and place of an earthquake occurrence. as a matter of fact, this...

Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) have been applied by engineers and economists because it can express the behavior of stochastic processes in compact expressions. In this paper, by using Grunwald-Letnikov fractional derivative, the stochastic differential model is improved. Two numerical examples are presented to show efficiency of the proposed model. A numerical optimization approach b...

Ordinary differential equations(ODEs) with stochastic processes in their vector field, have lots of applications in science and engineering. The main purpose of this article is to investigate the numerical methods for ODEs with Wiener and Compound Poisson processes in more than one dimension. Ordinary differential equations with Ito diffusion which is a solution of an Ito stochastic differentia...
