In this paper a new method is proposed to identify parameters of the photovoltaic (PV) solar cells model. The method is a combination of a heuristic algorithm called flexible improved particle swarm optimization (FIPSO) and a gradient based algorithm called sequential quadratic programming...

This paper is the last one of a series of 9 lecture notes in Algorithmic and Advanced Programming in Python that are part of the Syllabus of Dauphine PSL's Master in Computer Science, Decision Making & Data. It taught advanced data structure in python with a focus on core and practical details...

Critics raise alarm bells about governmental use of digital algorithms, charging that they are too complex, inscrutable, and prone to bias. A realistic assessment of digital algorithms, though, must acknowledge that government is already driven by algorithms of arguably greater complexity and...

Recent experience with interest rates hitting the effective lower bound and agents facing binding borrowing constraints has emphasised the importance of understanding the behaviour of an economy in which some variables may be restricted at times. The extended path algorithm is a commonly used...

Blockchain and cryptocurrency are gradually going mainstream with new cryptocurrencies introduced every single day. The speculative nature of these digital assets expose their prices to large fluctuations. Trading these crypto-assets necessitate an adequate understanding of this emerging market...
