New Method of Solving the Economic Complex Systems by Ya-Juan Yang, Chung-Cheng Chen, Yen-Ting Chen

“…The proposed approach will take the place of the traditional methods without all annoying procedures involving the long division of some complicated polynomials, the expanded multiplication of many polynomial factors, the differentiation of some complicated polynomials, and the complex derivations of all partial fraction parameters. To highlight the novelty of this research, this study especially applies the proposed theorems originally belonging to engineering to the field of economic applications.…”
