The Group-Algebraic Formalism of Quantum Probability and Its Applications in Quantum Statistical Mechanics by Yan Gu, Jiao Wang

“…As dynamical variables of a quantum system must respect certain commutation relations, we take the group generated by a Lie algebra constructed with these commutation relations as the bridge, so that the classical characteristic function defined in a Euclidean space is transformed to a normalized, non-negative definite function defined in this group. …”

Pricing of Proactive Hedging European Option with Dynamic Discrete Position Strategy by Meng Li, Xuefeng Wang, Fangfang Sun

“…Simulation studies show that proactive hedging option with discrete trading strategy still enjoys strong price advantage compared to the classical European option for majority of parameter space. The observed price advantage is stronger when the underlying asset has more volatility or when the asset price follows closer to Geometric Brownian Motion. …”

Theoretical Model Development for Energy Motion of Dusty Turbulent Flow of Fibre Suspensions in a Rotational Frame by Shams Forruque Ahmed

“…The newly derived equation was derived in second-order correlation tensors Fi,j, Wi,j, Gi,j, Si,j, Xi,j, Yi,j, Qi,j, and Ri,j at any two points in the flow domain, where the tensors were expressed as space, time, and distance functions. The developed model is a considerable improvement because it takes into account all of the potential influential parameters that could affect the motion of turbulent energy, such as dust particles, suspending particles (fibres), and rotating frame. …”

Extending the Intermediate Data Structure (IDS) for longitudinal historical databases to include geographic data by Finn Hedefalk, Lars Harrie, Patrick Svensson

“…The geographic data that will be stored in IDS-Geo are primarily buildings and/or property units, and the purpose of these geographic data is mainly to link individuals to places in space. When we want to assign such detailed spatial locations to individuals (in times before there were any detailed house addresses available), we often have to create tailored geographic datasets. …”
