Farming has been practiced in our country for a long time. Agriculture has evolved significantly over time as modernity. The major issue Indian farmers come across is that they do not choose the relevant crop for their soil. They may experience a significant drop in production as a result of...

Firefly algorithm (FA) is a powerful and efficient meta-heuristic algorithm which has shown effective performance in the recent literature when applied to solving engineering optimization problems. FA imitates the flashing behavior of fireflies. FA generates solutions randomly and assumes them...

The flower pollination algorithm (FPA) is a nature-inspired optimization algorithm that mimics the pollination behaviour of flowering plants. Despite the promising performance of FPA in solving single objective optimization problems, its convergence still poses challenges in practice. This study...

We develop a novel quantum algorithm for approximating the price of a discrete floating-strike Asian option based on an underlying valuation tree. The paths of the tree are encoded in bit-representation into a qubit register, where quantum state preparation is used to load the corresponding...

We consider a clearing problem in peer-to-peer energy markets, where prosumers can trade energy among each other and with the main grid to meet their energy demands. By using a game- theoretic formulation and exploiting operator-theoretic methods for generalized Nash equilibrium seeking, we...
