Droplets on insulators in outdoor high-voltage equipment move and leave water films on the insulating material. These films further the development of undesirable electric currents or even flash-overs. The paper deals with the behaviour of a single droplet laying on a solid support in a strong...

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to compare the performance of a low-P/E strategy relative to that of two alternative value strategies, one based on the PEG ratio and another on the PERG ratio (a magnitude introduced in this article). Design/methodology/approach – The data used...

We present a framework for the applied analysis of dynamic games with asymmetric information. The framework consists of a definition of equilibrium, and an algorithm to compute it. Our definition of Applied Markov Perfect equilibrium is an extension of the definition of Markov Perfect...

This Paper proposes a multivariate EWMA scheme that is alternative to the traditional EWMA-M. The distribution of the chart statistic is derived from Box quadratic form and the sensitivity of the chart is examined. The average run lengths of the M-EWMA scheme are numerically computed with the...

This paper deals with the extension of the Apriori algorithm and of the association rules to the symbolic histogram and interval-valued data. We suggest a method that will enable us to discover rules at the level of the concepts. This extension requires new definitions for the support and the...

This book investigates convex multistage stochastic programs whose objective and constraint functions exhibit a generalized nonconvex dependence on the random parameters. Although the classical Jensen and Edmundson-Madansky type bounds or its extensions are generally not available for such...
