Quantum nonlocality is an experimentally measurable quantum correlation indicated by the violation of Bell inequality. Previous studies show that bipartite Bell inequality is not violated in various translationally invariant spin models. In this paper, we study bipartite Bell inequality in an...

In this paper, we propose a robust sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for nonlinear programming without using any explicit penalty function and filter. The method embeds the modified QP subproblem proposed by Burke and Han (Math Program 43:277–303, <CitationRef CitationID="CR9">1989</CitationRef>) for the search direction,...</citationref>

Higher efficiencies and optimal utilization of geothermal energy require a careful analysis of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) which is suitable for converting electric power from low-temperature heat sources. The objective of this study is to experimentally analyze the effect of varying working...

Japan and Korea have long been associated with extensive, generally successful government intervention in the financial system. The authors survey the literature available in English on the operation and effectiveness of credit policies in these two countries. They divide the literature on the...

Purpose The safety performance of cooperative robots is particularly important. This paper aims to study collision detection and response of cooperative robots, which meet the lightweight requirements of cooperative robots and help to ensure the safety of humans and robots....
