A continuous-time formulation for spatial capture-recapture models by Distiller, Greg

“…Different forms for the detection hazard are explored with the most exible choice being that of a cyclic regression spline. Extensive simulation studies suggest as expected that a DT proximity estimator is unbiased for the estimation of density even when the detection hazard varies though time. …”

Comparison of vertical handover decision-based techniques in heterogeneous networks by Edia, Adada

“…This dissertation analyses the performance of a fuzzy-based VHO algorithm scheme in a Wi-Fi, WiMAX, UMTS and LTE integrated network using the OMNeT++ discrete event simulator. The loose coupling type network architecture is adopted and results of the simulation are analysed and compared for the two major categories of handover basis; multiple and single criteria based handover methods. …”

Game-theoretic models for mergers and acquisitions by Van den Honert, Robin Charles

“…It is shown that for the purposes of identifying optimal negotiating strategies, the players strategies (described by parameters which are continuous in nature) can be adequately approximated by a sparse grid of discrete strategies, providing that these discrete strategies are chosen so as to achieve an even spread across the set of continuous strategies. …”

Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Approaches for the MPPT Control of Standalone Solar PV Systems by Nwachukwu, Sampson

“…However, only systems with limited and discrete action spaces may use the DQN method. Thus, the SAC and DDPG methods are used to address the DQN algorithm's limited action spaces problem. …”

A granular flow model of an annular shear cell by Bremner, Sherry

“…The key ingredients (velocity, shear rate and volume fraction distributions) to the granular ow model are extracted from experiments using Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT), as well as Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. 5mm glass beads were used to fill an annulus 51mm wide. …”

Novel fitted schemes based on mimetic finite difference method for options pricing by Attipoe, David Sena

“…Furthermore, rigorous mathematical convergence proofs of the methods for the one dimensional case are provided where the standard Euler method is used for temporal discretization. Numerical simulations show that the proposed numerical methods (in one and two dimensional domains) applied to both European and American options are more accurate compared to the standard finite difference method and the standard fitted finite volume methods.…”

Investigation of ship target recognition using neural networks in conjunction with the Fourier Mellin transform by Serretta, Hyram

“…Preprocessing of data and recognition of targets was implemented in exactly the same manner and order as was the case with the simulated ship data. Extensive examination of the FMDMT revealed that the MDMT should only be applied to one side of a real and even Fourier Transform of a ship target. …”
