In many cases of disagreement it is impossible to demonstrate that either party is wrong. The role of argument in such cases is to persuade rather than refute. Following Perelman, ...
We discuss methods for the generation of oriented matroids and of isomorphism classes of oriented matroids. Our methods are based on single element extensions and graph theoretica...
We introduce the natural class SP 2 containing those languages which may be expressed in terms of two symmetric quanti ers. This class lies between P 2 and P 2 P 2 and naturall...
We develop and analyze an algorithm to maximize the throughput of a serial kanbanbased manufacturing system with arbitrary arrival and service process distributions by adjusting t...
If t is a positive integer, then a partition of a non-negative integer n is a t−core if none of the hook numbers of the associated Ferrers-Young diagram is a multiple of t. These...
