Although airlines plan aircraft routes and crew schedules in advance, perturbations occur everyday. As a result, flight schedules may become infeasible and ...

A data set on categories of congenital heart malformations for sibling pairs (with different malformations) of Fraser and Hunter (1975) is analyzed exactly ...

The spatially inhomogeneous smoothness of nonparametric methods is often modelled by Besov and Triebel-type smoothness constraints. For such problems, Donoh...

Graffiti's conjecture 105 states that for any tree the range of transmissions of distance is greater than or equal to the range of degrees. After using the ...

During the last decade, reverse logistics has been introduced into the manufacturing language. Companies' and public's awareness of environmental issues are...

Thrackleation of graphs and global optimization for quadratically constrained quadratic programming are used to find the octagon with unit diameter and larg...

This paper considers a case of strongly monotone variational inequality problems defined over a convex set which is given by a "separation oracle". An analy...

This paper presents a decomposition approach for the solution of the dynamic programming formulation of the Unit Loading Problem in hydroplant management. T...

Proposed just a few years ago, Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) is a new metaheuristic for combinatorial and global optimization, based upon systematic ch...

This paper solves the problem of designing an access tree network for which the users are connected to the switches through SONET channels on fiber optics l...

Reduction of some classes of global optimization programs to bilinear programs may be done in various ways, and the choice of method clearly influences the ...

This paper presents the problem of optimally dimensioning a new geographically distributed computer system that handles all communications between aircraft ...

In the literature, thermal insulation systems with a fixed number of heat intercepts have been optimized with respect to intercept locations and temperature...

In this paper we illustrate a new methodology for the design of fault-tolerant logical topologies in wavelength-routed optical networks exploiting wavelengt...

This paper addresses the problem whether a cooperative agreement, made at the start of a game, can be sustained over time. The players can reopen negotiatio...

We analyze the extent to which intergenerational teams provide information on workers' productivity in the long run. We use a dynamic stochastic framework ...
