This article investigates the consistence of initial conditions present in mathematical models under uncertainty. These conditions are given in form of a linear equation and the uncertainty is described by fuzzy numbers. ...

Conditionalites, measures that a borrowing country should adopt to obtain loans from the IMF, are pervasive in IMF programs. This paper estimates the effects of political and economic factors on the number of conditionalities ...

We extend to Gaussian distributions a result providing smoothed analysis estimates for condition numbers given as relativized distances to illposedness. We also introduce a notion of local analysis meant to capture the ...

In a recent paper [7] we analyzed a numerical algorithm for computing the number of real zeros of a polynomial system. The analysis relied on a condition number κ(f) for the input system f. In this paper we look at κ(f) ...

We define in the space of n×m matrices of rank n, n ≤ m, the condition Riemannian structure as follows: For a given matrix A the tangent space at A is equipped with the Hermitian inner product obtained by multiplying the ...

One-day-old broiler chicks received cecal microflora (CM) cultured under aerobic, anaerobic conditions, or both (mixed) and were then infected with Salmonella Enteritidis, in order to compare the efficacy of these different ...

Integer programming algorithms have some kind of exponential complexity in the worst case. However, it is also observed that data instances of similar sizes might have very different practical complexity when solved by ...

Body condition index is used as a measure for an individual’s condition, usually with reference to its nutritional status and the energy reserves. Reproductive success, survival, and thus, population dynamics, depend on ...

This paper presents a numerical method to solve fuzzy partial differential equations, where the initial and boundary conditions are given by interactive fuzzy numbers. Interactivity is a relationship between fuzzy numbers ...
