A universal bipartite model is proposed based on an energy supply–demand network. The analytical expression of SPL distribution of the node weight, the “shifting coefficient” α and the scaling exponent γ are presented without edge weight growth by using the mean-field theory approach....

In this paper, we deal with a class of anticipated backward stochastic differential equations related to finite state, continuous time Markov chains. The adapted solution of those equations as well as a scalar comparison theorem will be established.

Given k identical salesmen, where k⩾2 is a constant independent of the input size, the min–max k-traveling salesmen problem on a tree is to determine a set of k tours for the salesmen to serve all customers that are located on a tree-shaped network, so that each tour starts from and returns...

This paper presents a new methodology for determining optimal operation of soil aquifer treatment (SAT) systems considering parameter uncertainty. The problem of optimal operation of SAT systems is formulated and solved in a discrete-time optimal control framework by interfacing the SALQR (<Emphasis...</emphasis>

Carbon emission control becomes a challenge in recent years, and carbon emission trading is an effective way to curb carbon emission. This paper investigates the multi-item production planning problem with carbon cap and trade mechanism, in which a firm uses a common capacity and carbon emission...

To gauge the effect of the 2001 official "harmonisation" of the Chinese Accounting Standards (CAS) and International Accounting Standards (IAS) regimes, we examine all companies that simultaneously issued both A and B shares in both the SHSE and SZSE using the Weetman, Jones and Gray (1998)...
