Coordination of Plug-In Electric Vehicle Charging in a Stochastic Framework: A Decentralized Tax/Incentive-Based Mechanism to Reach Global Optimality

We address the problem of charging plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) in a decentralized way and under stochastic dynamics affecting the real-time electricity tariff. The model is formulated as a Nash equilibrium seeking problem, where player...

A quasitopos containing CONV and MET as full subcategories

We show that convergence spaces with continuous maps and metric spaces with contractions, can be viewed as entities of the same kind. Both can be characterized by a “limit function” λ which with each filter ℱ associates a map λℱ from the un...

Developing a Mobile Game Using Scientific Approach to Support Mathematics Learning

The widespread use of smartphones to play games and the lack of use as a medium for learning mathematics is the reason for the need for the development of smartphone-based edutainment learning media. The purpose of this research is to desig...

Factors Affecting Difficulties in Learning Mathematics by Mathematics Learners

This article explores the adversities faced by public school students in learning mathematics in their leaning context. The main purpose of this study was to explore the causes of learning difficulties in mathematics. The design of the stud...

Numerical mathematics and computing

Authors Ward Cheney and David Kincaid show students of science and engineering the potential computers have for solving numerical problems and give them ample opportunities to hone their skills in programming and problem solving. The text a...

Mathematical Reasoning

Contents: Preface. Part I: Introduction. L.D. English, Analogies, Metaphors, and Images: Vehicles for Mathematical Reasoning. Part II: Cognitive Foundations for a Mind-Based Mathematics. G. Lakoff, R.E. Nunez, The Metaphorical Structure of ...

Mathematical creativity and school mathematics: Indicators of mathematical creativity in middle school students

As students progress through the educational system their interest in mathematics diminishes. Yet there is an ever increasing need within the workforce for individuals who possess talent in mathematics. The literature suggests that mathemat...

The mathematics of diffusion

Though it incorporates much new material, this new edition preserves the general character of the book in providing a collection of solutions of the equations of diffusion and describing how these solutions may be obtained....

Advanced Mathematical Thinking

This chapter presents the principal currents and results in recent cognitive research on advanced mathematical thinking processes. The ambiguity in the phrase advanced mathematical thinking processes is intentional: The word advanced can an...

Mathematics Anxiety, Working Memory, and Mathematics Performance in Secondary-School Children

Mathematics anxiety (MA) has been defined as "a feeling of tension and anxiety that interferes with the manipulation of numbers and the solving of math problems in a wide variety of ordinary life and academic situations." Previous studies h...

A Fractional-Order Complexity Framework for Misinformation Propagation With Fact-Checking Saturation and Social Vulnerability Dynamics

Misinformation spreads through communities in ways that resemble infectious diseases, but existing mathematical models often miss three real-world complexities: People remember past information (memory effects), some folks are more easily f...

How Does Anxiety Affect the Relationship between the Customer and the Omnichannel Systems?

Omnichannel is not just a marketing, e-commerce, or customer support buzzword. This future customer engagement platform helps businesses communicate with customers through centralized channels on a smart interface. It is difficult to achiev...

A fast three-step second-order explicit numerical approach to investigating and forecasting the dynamic of corruption and poverty in Cameroon

This paper constructs a three-step second-order numerical approach for solving a mathematical model on the dynamic of corruption and poverty. The stability and error estimates of the proposed technique are analyzed using the L2-norm. The de...

Decision Support on Small size Passive Samples

A construction technique of adequate mathematical models for small size passive samples, in conditions when classical probabilistic-statis\-tical methods do not allow obtaining valid conclusions was developed....

Obstetric complications in children with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Learning Disability

This study aims to determine whether children with ADHD and learning disabilities (LD) have a significant history of obstetrical complications when compared to children with ADHD but without LD. Methods: Sixty-four children aged 6 to 12 yea...

Investigating late-time cosmology using Finsler-Randers geometry and Barthel connection: Observational constraints and implications

In this study we explore cosmological anisotropies and dark energy using Finsler-Randers geometry, an extension of Riemannian geometry that incorporates directional dependence in the spacetime structure. We investigate whether Finslerian mo...
