In this survey a novel system, called the oscillator system, consisting of order of p3 functions (signals) on the finite field Fp, is described and studied. The new functions are p...
In this paper the one-machine scheduling problem with linear earliness and tardiness costs is considered. The7 cost functions are job dependent and asymmetric. The problem consist...
In case a CSP is over-constrained, it is natural to allow some constraints, called soft constraints, to be violated. We propose a generic method to soften global constraints that c...

Given a set of objects with profits (any, even negative, numbers) assigned not only to separate objects but also to pairs of them, the unconstrained binary quadratic optimization p...
The classical gradient vector flow (GVF) method suffers from deficiency in the presence of other significant edges adjacent to the real boundary. In this paper, we propose an impr...
