The following two payment methods were discussed by Teng et al:The main purpose of this paper is summarized below:Finally, with a view to further motivating the interested researchers for using the methodology and mathematical analytic techniques in several other contexts in the field, we have chosen to include, in Section 12, a number of related recent works in the field.
