Portfolio Optimization with Asset-Liability Ratio Regulation Constraints by De-Lei Sheng, Peilong Shen

“…This paper considers both a top regulation bound and a bottom regulation bound imposed on the asset-liability ratio at the regulatory time T to reduce risks of abnormal high-speed growth of asset price within a short period of time (or high investment leverage), and to mitigate risks of low assets’ return (or a sharp fall). …”

A Galerkin Finite Element Method for Numerical Solutions of the Modified Regularized Long Wave Equation by Liquan Mei, Yali Gao, Zhangxin Chen

“…A Galerkin method for a modified regularized long wave equation is studied using finite elements in space, the Crank-Nicolson scheme, and the Runge-Kutta scheme in time. In addition, an extrapolation technique is used to transform a nonlinear system into a linear system in order to improve the time accuracy of this method. …”

An Improved Group-Based Neighbor Discovery Algorithm for Mobile Sensor Networks by Qiang Niu, Weiwei Bao, Shixiong Xia

“…Most discovery designs are based on pairwise and fixed duty cycle, in which discovery is passively achieved when two nodes wake up at the same time. In order to further improve the efficiency of neighbor discovery in mobile sensor networks, this paper proposes an improved group-based neighbor discovery algorithm (IGND) which dynamically adjusts the nodes’ active time based on spatial properties. …”
