Due to the distinct seasonal characteristics of hydropower, this study tries to propose a seasonal decomposition (SD) based least squares support vector regression (LSSVR) ensemble learning model for Chinese hydropower consumption forecasting. In the formulation of ensemble learning model, the...

In this paper, we consider a stochastic SIS epidemic model with vaccination. We prove that the densities of the distributions of the solution can converge in L1 to an invariant density under appropriate conditions. Also we find the support of the invariant density.

Accurate prediction of the remaining useful life (<i>RUL</i>) of lithium-ion batteries is important for battery management systems. Traditional empirical data-driven approaches for <i>RUL</i> prediction usually require multidimensional physical characteristics including the current, voltage, usage duration,...

In this paper, a novel hybrid ensemble learning paradigm integrating ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and least squares support vector regression (LSSVR) is proposed for nuclear energy consumption forecasting, based on the principle of “decomposition and ensemble”. This hybrid...

Magnetic properties of a biaxial spin-1 system in an applied transverse field are investigated by using the effective-field theory with correlations on the basis of the differential technique. We have studied the effects of the transverse field on the phase diagrams, internal energy, and...

We investigate here self-organised criticality (SOC) in two-dimensional dissipative sandpile models without the local conservation law. Both dissipative cellular automata and dissipative coupled map lattice models with open boundary conditions are considered. There appears to be no evidence for...

We investigate the evolutionary behaviour of a 2-D dry froth with initial ordered/disordered conditions corresponding, respectively, to monodisperse/polydisperse topological networks. Using the direct simulation approach, we discuss the scaling properties of the cell side distribution, f(n), and...

The soap froth provides an idealised example of a cellular structure, which evolves or coarsens over laboratory time-scales and for which topological measures appear to provide an intuitive characterisation. However, froth is an intrinsically non-equilibrium system, and topological measures are...
