A conjecture on the stability of the periodic solutions of Ricker's equation with periodic parameters
In this work we propose a conjecture about the stability of the periodic solutions of the Ricker equation with periodic parameters, which goes beyond the existing theory, and for ...

Estimation of pump-curves using genetic algorithms
This paper presents a variety of different ways of estimating the general parameters for pump-curves. First a formulation is made that converts the problem into estimating four p...

Modeling Cardiac Ion Channel Conductivity: Model Fitting via Simulation
We describe a Markov state model for a cloned potassium channel of the human heart ( 1KvLQTI ). The parameters of the model are determined by a least-squares fit of predicted vs. ...

The Value of Observation for Monitoring Dynamic Systems
We consider the fundamental problem of monitoring (i.e. tracking) the belief state in a dynamic system, when the model is only approximately correct and when the initial belief st...

Optimizing kernel parameters by second-order methods
Radial basis function network (RBF) kernels are widely used for support vector machines (SVMs). But for model selection of an SVM, we need to optimize the kernel parameter and the ...
