This paper presents two new approaches to decomposing and solving large Markov decision problems (MDPs), a partial decoupling method and a complete decoupling method. In these app...
The observation and modeling of natural Complex Systems (CSs) like the human nervous system, the evolution or the weather, allows the definition of special abilities and models re...
Linear ordering problems are combinatorial optimization problems which deal with the minimization of different functionals in which the graph vertices are mapped onto (1, 2, ..., ...
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...
Abstract. The strategic supply chain design problem which allows capacity shifts and budget limitations can be formulated as a linear program. Since facilities are allowed to be op...
