In this study, we examine the daily returns and daily range returns dependent on close–close and the high–low prices when forecasting multifractal volatility in the Chinese stock market. In in-sample forecasting we find that both the daily returns and range returns have a significant impact...

Influential individuals are introduced and integrated with the public goods game (PGG) to investigate their influence on the emergence and evolution of cooperation. In the model, some influential individuals whose behaviors can be controlled by us are introduced into a homogeneous population on...

In this paper we develop a lattice Boltzmann model for the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation (GBHE). By choosing the proper time and space scales and applying the Chapman–Enskog expansion, the governing equation is recovered correctly from the lattice Boltzmann equation, and the local...

Viruses self-assemble from identical capsid proteins and their genome consisting, for example, of a long single stranded (ss) RNA. For a big class of T=3 viruses, capsid proteins have long positive N-terminal tails. We explore the role played by the Coulomb interaction between the brush of...

We study a solution of long polyanions (PA) with shorter polycations (PC) and focus on the role of Coulomb interaction. A good example is solutions of DNA and PC which are widely studied for gene therapy. In the solution, each PA attracts many PCs to form a complex. When the ratio of total...

In a recent experiment, a single DNA double helix is stretched and relaxed in the presence of spermidine, a short positive polyelectrolyte, and the pulling force is measured as a function of DNA extension. In a certain range of spermidine concentration, a force plateau appears whose value shows...

We investigated the effects of interstitial air on the impact bifurcations of period doubling motion in vertically vibrated grains beds. The impact of grains on the container bottom undergoes a series of subharmonic bifurcations as the vibration intensity increases. With the presence of air, the...
