Solution of Several Functional Equations on Nonunital Semigroups Using Wilson’s Functional Equations with Involution by Jaeyoung Chung, Prasanna K. Sahoo

“…In this paper, first we determine the general solutions f,g:S→C of Wilson’s generalizations of d’Alembert’s functional equations  fx+y+fx+σy=2f(x)g(y) and fx+y+fx+σy=2g(x)f(y) on nonunital commutative semigroups, and then using the solutions of these equations we solve a number of other functional equations on more general domains.…”

Research on Medium and Long-Term Runoff Forecast of Xijiang River in Dry Season Based on Statistical Model by LAN Yuxi, ZHANG Yin, NONG Zhenchang, WEI Yongjiang

“…Accurate medium and long-term runoff forecast is of great guiding significance to the development and utilization of water resources,allocation optimization,and water dispatch.Based on the three statistical models of mean generating function,periodic analysis,and multiple stepwise regression,this paper studied the medium and long-term runoff forecast of the Longtan Reservoir in the upper reaches of the Xijiang River and the Wuzhou hydrological station in the lower reaches from October to March of the following year and during the entire dry season (six months,from October to March of the following year).The results show that the three models all present positive forecast results.In the calibration and verification periods,the average pass rate exceeds 75%,and the mean absolute percentage error is basically within 30%.The forecast accuracy of the mean generating function and the multiple stepwise regression is significantly higher than that of the periodic analysis,with smaller forecast errors in larger values.Multiple stepwise regression is more stable than the other two models.Furthermore,affected by the consistency of data,the forecast accuracy of the Longtan Reservoir is significantly higher than that of the Wuzhou hydrological station.On the whole,multiple stepwise regression has the optimal forecast effect in the Xijiang River Basin.In addition,it can maintain high forecast accuracy at all levels and stages and provide a valuable reference for water dispatch decisions in the basin.In the future,multi-model fusion can be used to further improve the forecast effect.…”

Layered Growth of 3D Snowflake Subject to Membrane Effect and More than One Nucleation Center by Means of Cellular Automata by César Renán Acosta, Irma Martín, Gabriela Rivadeneyra

“…In this work, it is taken into account that in nature, due to pressure and temperature, water drops in general are either spherical or ellipsoidal. Thus, starting from a more general structure, a 3D elliptical surface (oblate spheroid) is constructed, which, by means of parameters, can be turned into a spherical shape. …”

Geometric nonlinear analysis based on the generalized displacement control method and orthogonal iteration by Li Ling

“…In response to the shortcomings of insufficient efficiency in calculating geometric nonlinear features and high environmental impact in the current construction, this study explores the control of nonlinear geometric structures based on an updated Lagrangian model function in the construction. In this method, the change in the geometric nonlinear stiffness is analyzed using generalized stiffness parameters and a displacement increment method, and the iteration step size and loading/unloading directions are adjusted in the iteration process to achieve the convergence of the solution. …”

Generalized Estimating Equation Model Based Recursive Partitioning: Application to Distracted Driving by Hyoshin Park, Nigel Pugh

“…Traditional statistical methods have used a coarse aggregation of data across subjects that may not be representative of any single individual. Even though Generalized Estimating Equations procedure extends generalized linear model to allow for analysis of repeated measurements or other correlated observations, the nonlinear relationship between independent variables and dependent variable could significantly hinder the model’s performance. …”
