Motivated by the allocation of online visits to product, service, and content suppliers in the platform economy, we consider a dynamic contract design problem in which a principal constantly determ…
Specification of a parametric model for the intensity function is a fundamental task in statistics for spatial point processes. It is, therefore, crucial to be able to assess the appropriateness of…
For spatially dependent functional data, a generalized Karhunen-Loève expansion is commonly used to decompose data into an additive form of temporal components and spatially correlated coefficient…
Decomposition plays a significant role in cooperative coevolution (CC), which shows great potential in large-scale black-box optimization (LSBO). However, current learning-based decomposition algor…
A monolithic dual-wavelength DFB laser array based on sidewall gratings and a novel modulation of the grating coupling coefficient is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. The grating coupling …
In high-capacity coherent transmission applications such as 400 Gb/s and beyond, silicon inphase and quadrature modulators (SIQMs) are widely used as a coherent transmitter assembly. The bias point…
Problem definition: Observing the retail industry inevitably evolving into omnichannel, we study an offline-channel planning problem that helps an omnichannel retailer make store location and locat…
Mobile application use has become an essential activity in many people’s daily lives in the mobile Internet era. Driven by its ubiquity and strong context dependence, Internet companies are in a …
In this paper, time and energy costs for achieving synchronization of the Kuramoto-oscillator network with or without noise perturbation are investigated. In order to achieve synchronization and op…
As a Rayleigh-scattering-pattern-based distributed sensing scheme, recently coherent optical time-domain reflectometry (COTDR) exhibits high performance in distributed acoustic sensing, particularl…
