Nonlinear Time Series Analysis of Economic and Financial Data provides an examination of the flourishing interest that has developed in this area over the past decade. The constant theme throughout this work is that standard linear time series tools leave unexamined and unexploited economically...

A review of the various models of New Product Development (NPD) process shows that although different approaches have been proposed, they are in fact all variants on a linear theme: some may include feedback loops, but they all essentially advocate that certain steps precede, or are preceded by,...

A justified modification of the real part of the complex non-linearity of a Schrödinger equation, recently proposed G. Kaniadakis, Phys. Rev. A 55 (1997) 941], allows us to obtain a new canonical quantum system obeying an exclusion–inclusion principle. The soliton solutions of this new...

In this paper we apply the generalized simulated annealing (GSA) approach to the inversion of gravity data for 2-D and 3-D density distributions. We consider a modeling process where the input is the vector of model parameters m (that can be density contrast, mass or some coordinates) and the...
