Internal Benchmarking of Thermal Power Plants оf Electric Power Systems by E. M. Farhadzadeh, A. Z. Muradaliyev, Y. Z. Farzaliyev, U. K. Ashurova

“…A necessary condition for the feasibility of using these or those integral indicators is their functional and statistical independence. The results of the studies performed using the simulation method made it possible to establish that the smallest correlation occurs between the integral indicator calculated as the arithmetic mean of random variables and the integral indicator calculated as the coefficient of variation of the same random variables. …”

A MODEL OF AGE–STRUCTURED POPULATION UNDER STOCHASTIC PERTURBATION OF DEATH AND BIRTH RATES by Maxim A. Alshanskiy

“…Under consideration is construction of a model of age-structured population reflecting random oscillations of the death and birth rate functions. We arrive at an Itô-type difference equation in a Hilbert space of functions which can not be transformed into a proper Itô equation via passing to the limit procedure due to the properties of the operator coefficients. …”
