Societal objectives as drivers in the search for criteria weights when ranking energy efficiency measures

Sousa, José L.; Martins, António G.; Jorge, Humberto M. - In: Energy Policy 48 (2012) C, pp. 562-575

In this paper we address a ranking problem from a tender mechanism established by the Portuguese energy regulator to promote energy efficiency measures in electricity consumption. Measures candidates to this tender are subjected to previously known assessment rules, and weighted criteria. Our...

Designing office shirt: an integrated approach

Saha, Goutam; Roy, Dilip - In: Journal of Fashion Marketing and Management: An … 16 (2012) 3, pp. 327-341

Purpose – Grounded theory, supported by leading designers, argues for an integrated approach covering end users and designers. However, no substantial work on apparel design has been done so far where a balance is maintained by combining the opinions of consumers and the designers. The purpose...

Algorithmic Complexity of Financial Motions

Brandouy, Olivier; Delahaye, Jean-Paul; Ma, Lin; Zenil, … - Dipartimento di Economia e Management, Università … - 2012

We survey the main applications of algorithmic (Kolmogorov) complexity to the problem of price dynamics in financial markets. We stress the differences between these works and put forward a general algorithmic framework in order to highlight its potential for financial data analysis. This...

On Grover’s search algorithm from a quantum information geometry viewpoint

Cafaro, Carlo; Mancini, Stefano - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 391 (2012) 4, pp. 1610-1625

We present an information geometric characterization of Grover’s quantum search algorithm. First, we quantify the notion of quantum distinguishability between parametric density operators by means of the Wigner–Yanase quantum information metric. We then show that the quantum searching...
