Even simple examples of finite mixture models can fail to fulfil the regularity conditions that are routinely assumed in standard parametric inference problems. Many methods have been investigated for testing for homogeneity in finite mixture models, for example, but all rely on regularity...

We propose a novel capacity model for complex networks against cascading failure. In this model, vertices with both higher loads and larger degrees should be paid more extra capacities, i.e. the allocation of extra capacity on vertex i will be proportional to k<Subscript>i</Subscript> <Superscript>γ</Superscript> , where k<Subscript>i</Subscript> is the degree of...</subscript></superscript></subscript>

In this paper, we propose a macro model with consideration of multi static bottlenecks to study the impacts of multi static bottlenecks on traffic flow. The numerical results show that the influences are related to the number of static bottlenecks, the distance between two adjacent static...

Nutrient loss from purple soils has been reported to increase pollution of the Yangtze River. However, few studies have addressed the variations of nutrient concentration in runoff during natural rainstorms in the regions. Nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in runoff waters from a small...

The reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) simulation is applied in the study of an aqueous electrolyte LiCl6H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O. On the basis of the available experimental neutron scattering data, RMC computes pair radial distribution functions in order to explore the structural features of the system. The obtained results...</subscript>

Interconnecting distinct electricity markets by adding a new transmission line affects the outcomes in these markets in a complicated way when there is uncertainty in demand or participant behaviour. We use market distribution functions to examine the effects of interconnection using a single...

In this paper we analyse the equilibrium structure for a particular type of electricity market. We consider a market with two generators offering electricity into a pool. Generators are centrally dispatched, with cheapest offers used first. The pool price is determined as the highest-priced...
