An Entropy Optimizing RAS-Equivalent Algorithm for Iterative Matrix Balancing by Chlebus, Edward, Kasapu, Viswatej

“…We have developed a new simple iterative algorithm to determine entries of a normalized matrix given its marginal probabilities. Our method has been successfully used to obtain two different solutions by maximizing the entropy of a desired matrix and by minimizing its Kullback–Leibler divergence from the initial probability distribution. …”

Comparison between stochastic and deterministic selection-mutation models by Azmy S. Ackleh, Shuhua Hu

“…We show numerically that the mean behavior ofthe stochastic model in general agrees with the deterministic one.However, unlike the deterministic one, if the differences in thegrowth-to-mortality ratios are small in the pure selection case,it cannot be determined a priori which subpopulation will have thehighest probability of surviving and winning the competition.…”

Automatic Distributed Control Method for Indoor Low-Voltage Electricity Based on Modal Symmetry Algorithm by Han Lian

“…The experimental results show that the proposed method improves the margin of voltage stability, overcomes the drawbacks of traditional methods, and reduces the probability of voltage accidents. It shows that this method has higher flexibility, higher reliability, and higher application value as well as improving the automatic control level of voltage.…”

Derivation of the Schrödinger equation V: Relativistic Equations of Quantum Mechanics and its epistemological impacts on teaching by L.S.F. Olavo, Marcello Ferreira

“…We also show that this quantization method throws light in a different way to interpret some descriptors of the usual formalism, mainly those regarding the expression for the probability density function. This, on the other hand, gives the teacher following this approach in classes on the subject to assess the epistemological issue of the role of manuals in the learning of Quantum Mechanics.…”

QUANTUM TELEPORTATION OF ENTANGLED STATES VIA GENERALIZED PHOTON-ADDED PAIR COHERENT STATE by Thi Hong Thanh Le, Ngoc Duy Tinh Phan, Minh Duc Truong

“…The results show that the number of photons added to the field and the intensity of the initial field influence the average fidelity and success probability of the teleportation process. The time-evolution dependence of the average fidelity is also considered and compared for the field in the pair coherent state and in the GPAPCS.…”
