Scheduling often plays an important role in vehicle routing. This paper describes several applications in which the author has been involved in recent years...

We introduce a Laplacian and a signless Laplacian for the distance matrix of a connected graph, called the <i>distance Laplacian</i> and <i>distance signless...

One of the major results announced in the static literature on the coordination of pricing decisions in bilateral monopolies states that vertical integrati...

Consider a scale that accepts three marbles of different weights. The scale only ranks the marbles, by indicating the heaviest, the lightest and the middle ...

The unit commitment problem is a fundamental problem in the operation of power systems. The purpose of unit commitment is to minimize the system-wide cost o...

We propose a stochastic dynamic program for valuing options on stock-index futures. The model accounts for deterministic, seasonally varying dividends gene...

We consider a differential game with a corrupt government and civil society as its players. We characterize open-loop and feedback Nash equilibria and find...

The ubiquity of cloud applications requires the meticulous design of cloud networks with high quality of service, low costs, and low CO₂ emissions...

This paper analyzes the coalitional Great Fish War model under the assumption that players differ in their time preferences and use different discount rate...

In <font size=2>[Wagneur, E., Linear Algebra and its Application, 435, 1786-1795, 2011]</font>, we show that any \(m\)-dimensional tropical torsion module...

Sustainable wind energy development takes into account socio-cultural variables that can be identified from citizens' concerns about the use of this renewabl...

Elevated levels of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and accumulation of misfolded &alpha;-synuclein (&alpha;SYN) are recurrent features in a majority of Parkins...

The brain is the most energy intensive organ in the human body, so it is to be expected that weaknesses in brain energy metabolism could be a potential facto...

A previous article on the integrative modelling of Parkinson's disease (PD) described a mathematical model with properties that suggested that PD pathogenesi...

Research into Parkinson's disease (PD) is intensely difficult and time consuming. It is a complex condition that develops over many years in the human brain....

The control of microalgae cultivation is approached from passivity-based control perspective. The proposed controller solves set point tracking and stabiliz...

Microalgae are microscopic plants existing in aquatic environment. They are involved in the production of high value compounds and large scale cultures also...

We consider a fluid model of an unreliable production line consisting of <i>n</i> machines and <i>n</i> fixed buffer sizes. These machines produce a single p...

In this paper, we derive PDF and CDF expressions for the end-to-end SNR of an opportunistic relaying amplify-and-forward (AF) cooperative diversity over inde...

In cooperative networks, mobile users do not only have the role of a data source or destination but can also act as relays to help transmissions from others....
