Portfolio Selection with respect to the Probabilistic Preference in Variable Risk Appetites: A Double-Hierarchy Analysis Method by Ruitao Gu, Qingjuan Chen, Qiaoyun Zhang

“…Then, using the cross-efficiency evaluation principle, the optimal investment ratios can be derived by fusing investors’ multiple preferences and risk appetites in the second hierarchy. Lastly, an illustrative example about evaluating the 10 largest capitalized stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange is given to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of our newly proposed model. …”

Evaluation of competences for research through experimental reports: An example with high school professors by Maria Elena Rodriguez Perez, Catalina Rodríguez Pérez, Luis Hernando Silva Castillo

“…A competence, in the interbehavioral approach, refers to the functional organization of skills in order to fulfill a type of performance criterion. To illustrate the use of this notion in educational settings, an evaluation of research competences was carried out through the analysis of 17 research reports prepared by high school professors of the University of Guadalajara. …”

A weak invariance principle and asymptotic stability for evolution equations with bounded generators by E. N. Chukwu, P. Smoczynski

“…The proof is based on an extension of LaSalle's invariance principle, which yields convergence in a weak topology and uses a strongly continuous Lyapunov function. The theory is illustrated with an example of an integro-differential equation of interest in the theory of chemical processes. …”
