Whether a given nonlinear solver can reach a feasible point for a set of nonlinear constraints depends heavily on the initial point provided. We develop a range of computationally...
Chip multiprocessors are of increasing importance due to recent difficulties in achieving higher clock frequencies in uniprocessors, but their success depends on finding useful wor...

This paper presents a formulation of the facilities block layout problem which explicitly considers uncertainty in material handling costs on a continuous scale by use of expected...
: Modularity in the human brain remains a controversial issue, with disagreement over the nature of the modules that exist, and why, when and how they emerge. It is a natural assum...
The difficulty of efficiently reordering the rules in an Access Control List is considered and the essential optimisation problem formulated. The complexity of exact and sophistic...
