Comparison of Basic Iterative Methods Used to Solve of Heat and Fluid Flow Problems by Abdulbaset S Alkrbash, Abdulbaset S Alkrbash, Alhadi A Abosbaia, Alhadi A Abosbaia, Abdulhafid M Elfaghi, Abdulhafid M Elfaghi

“…The Jacobi method, the point Gauss-Seidel method, the successive over-relaxation method (SOR), the line Gauss method (TDMA), the ADI method and Strongly Implicit (SIP) method are among the iterative approaches investigated, which are then compared to find the most optimal method. The selection criteria included the number of iterations and the time needed to reach convergence. …”

Price Competition, Efficiency and Riskiness in Investment Banking by Radić, Nemanja, Fiordelisi, Franco, Girardone, Claudia

“…Our paper examines the intertemporal relationships between price competition, cost efficiency and riskiness for a sample of investment banks inten large developed countries over 2000-2008.We show that price competition is rather limited in investment banking worldwide thus implying the existence of colluding oligopolies.We also find that although investment banks’ stability was granted by relatively low competitive pressures, banks appeared prone to take more risk thus giving some support to the competition-stability view for the investment banking industry.…”

Optimization of RFID network planning using MDB-FA method by Elewe, Adel Muhsin, Hasnan, Khalid, Nawawi, Azli

“…The generated data are utilized as an input representation to apply into firefly algorithm based on Density-Based Algorithm (DBSCAN) to find the optimal network solution. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the method in L-Shape RNP, and show that the proposed algorithm is capable of achieving high coverage and use of fewer readers in actual conditions of warehouse design.…”
