: We consider in this paper a two-machine flowshop scheduling problem in which the first machine processes jobs individually while the second machine processes jobs in batches. The...
In this paper, we consider smooth words over 2-letter alphabets {a, b}, where a, b are integers having same parity, with 0 < a < b. We show that all are recurrent and that t...

We introduce a new problem that was motivated by a (more complicated) problem arising in a robotized assembly environment. The bin coloring problem is to pack unit size colored it...
A novel semi-fuzzy (SF) rate control algorithm (RCA) for variable bit rate (VBR) video applications is proposed. The proposed RCA is optimized to provide high quality compressed vi...
