Limit Cycles and Analytic Centers for a Family of 4n-1 Degree Systems with Generalized Nilpotent Singularities by Yusen Wu, Cui Zhang, Changjin Xu

“…With the aid of computer algebra system Mathematica 8.0 and by the integral factor method, for a family of generalized nilpotent systems, we first compute the first several quasi-Lyapunov constants, by vanishing them and rigorous proof, and then we get sufficient and necessary conditions under which the systems admit analytic centers at the origin. …”

An Extreme Learning Machine-Based Community Detection Algorithm in Complex Networks by Feifan Wang, Baihai Zhang, Senchun Chai, Yuanqing Xia

“…In this paper, by means of fusing unsupervised extreme learning machines and the k-means clustering techniques, we propose a novel community detection method that surpasses traditional k-means approaches in terms of precision and stability while adding very few extra computational costs. Furthermore, results of extensive experiments undertaken on computer-generated networks and real-world datasets illustrate acceptable performances of the introduced algorithm in comparison with other typical community detection algorithms.…”

New Scheme of Finite Difference Heterogeneous Multiscale Method to Solve Saturated Flow in Porous Media by Fulai Chen, Li Ren

“…Tests on a variety of numerical experiments show that, in the case that only about a half of the information of the whole microstructure is used, the constructed scheme gives better accuracy at a much lower computational time than FDHMM for the problem of aquifer response to sudden change in reservoir level and gives comparable accuracy at a much lower computational time than FDHMM for the weak drawdown problem.…”

δ-Cut Decision-Theoretic Rough Set Approach: Model and Attribute Reductions by Hengrong Ju, Huili Dou, Yong Qi, Hualong Yu, Dongjun Yu, Jingyu Yang

“…Furthermore, with respect to criterions of decision-monotonicity and cost decreasing, two different algorithms are designed to compute reducts, respectively. The comparisons between these two algorithms show us the following: (1) with respect to the original data set, the reducts based on decision-monotonicity criterion can generate more rules supported by the lower approximation region and less rules supported by the boundary region, and it follows that the uncertainty which comes from boundary region can be decreased; (2) with respect to the reducts based on decision-monotonicity criterion, the reducts based on cost minimum criterion can obtain the lowest decision costs and the largest approximation qualities. …”
