Mechanics of sailing ship motion
Journal Title: Mathematica Applicanda. Annales Societatis Mathematicae Polonae Series III . - Year 2015, Vol 43, Issue 1
Abstract
The Author, looking into the rules defining the sailing ship efficiency, delineates a number of mathematical equations that are proved in practice to be accurate. The equation of the sailing ship efficiency in a downwind sector is similar to the curves from Wulff grid, while the equation in an windward sector is similar to the fourth degree curve, not circulated yet. The article presents details of the established assumptions, a method of formulas' deriving as well as conclusions and suggestions of new definitions of terms to be used in the nautical vocabulary.

Selected applications of differential equations in Vanilla Options valuation.
In financial models one of the basic assumptions about investors is that they want to gain as much as it is possible but they have aversion taking the risk. Each investing strategy can be considered as a compromise betwe...
On graduation of enrolment size in a multi-echelon educational system
This paper focuses on an educational system wherein demotion and double promotion are not allowed. The total enrolment in such a system is modelled as a linear model within the context of factor analysis. The goal is to...
Markov morphisms: a combined copula and mass transportation approach to multivariate quantiles.
Our purpose is both conceptual and practical. On the one hand, we discuss the question which properties are basic ingredients of a general conceptual notion of a multivariate quantile. We propose and argue that the objec...
Common-Knowledge and Bayesian Equilibrium in Network Game
In this paper we investigate equilibriums in the Bayesian routing problem of the network game introduced by Koutsoupias and Papadimitriou [LNCS 1563, pp.404-413. Springer (1999)]. We treat epistemic conditions for Nas...
