On the basis of some numerical calculations,Ulam has conjectured that the ergodic theorem holds for any quadratic stochastic operator acting on a finite-dimensional simplex. However, Zakharevich showed that Ulam’s conjecture is false in general. Later, Ganikhodzhaev and Zanin generalized Zakharevich’s example to the class of quadratic stochasti

In this paper, we provide a sufficient condition in which the ergodic theorem will fail for VProgram of ICDEA 2015 Sunday, July 19 18:00-19:30 Registration (Bialystok University of Technology, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, address: Białystok ul.

The p-adic models of statistical mechanics require the investigation of roots of polynomial equations over p-adic fields in order to construct p-adic Gibbs measures. The most frequently asked question is that whether a root of a polynomial equation belongs to some given domains. In this paper, we are aiming to study the solvability of general cubic

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are identified as a group of people who have social interaction and communication impairment. They have difficulty in producing speech and explaining what they meant. They also suffer from emotional or cognitive states requirement that stance challenges to their interest in communicating and socializi

In creating a successful product it is important to understand consumers’ perceptions of a product early in the design process. Often, design students lack the necessary data collection and user testing skills to support effective design decision-making. Consequently, their products might not be acceptable to the intended consumers and are thus l

Mangroves composition and species are richly diverse in Tioman and Tulai Island. A total of 23 mangrove species have been found consisting of exclusive and non-exclusive species in Kg. Juara, Kg. Nipah, Kg. Paya, Kg. Genting and Tulai Island. The abundance mangrove species are Rhizophora X lamarckii, Rhizophora apiculata, Rhizophora mucronata and B

Background: Nurses and Junior Doctors play an important role in providing care to patients. Their knowledge, attitude and practice in assessing deteriorating patient are crucial. Lately, the incidence of deteriorating patient is worriedly especially in medical ward setting. In Malaysia, for the year 2013 it’s been reported that 47.4% deterioratin

Recently, the need towards production of environmental friendly and excellent performance cementitious material has been outlined properly. Based on extensive researches done since 1970s, it is proven that rice husk ash (RHA) is silica-rich material and hence categorized as pozzolans in concrete. Nevertheless, the usage of this material in real con

In this keynote address, we shall present a time-invariant (varying) nonlinear model (rule or protocol) of discrete-time MAS. Our model is a generalization of the classical time invariant DeGroot model. Based on our proposed time-invariant model, we show a consensus in the discrete-time MAS. It seems that, unlike a linear case, a consensus can be e

Controlling the land use sprawl and managing the rapid urban growth process has become key issues for local government agencies in many developing countries including Malaysia. This paper intended to review and examined the core problems of land use sprawl control with local planning policies and the agencies that involve in implementing these proc
