Surgery: A Problem-Solving Approach. 2nd Edition

As a review of organ systems or surgical procedures, these volumes will provide a valuable tool to incipient surgeons as well as to experienced ones who wish to brush up on areas outside their immediate fields of expertise. There is something here for every devotee of the surgical sciences. The editors have assembled experts from both sides of the Atlantic to create an international roster of c...

A Problem-Solving Approach

A New Approach for Solving Interval Quadratic Programming Problem

This paper discusses an Interval Quadratic Programming (IQP) problem, where the constraints coefficients and the right-hand sides are represented by interval data. First, the focus is on a common method for solving Interval Linear Programming problem. Then the idea is extended to the IQP problem. Based on this method each IQP problem is reduced to two classical Quadratic Programming (QP) proble...

An Approach for Solving Traveling Salesman Problem

In this paper, we introduce a new approach for solving the traveling salesman problems (TSP) and provide a solution algorithm for a variant of this problem. The concept of the proposed method is based on the Hungarian algorithm, which has been used to solve an assignment problem for reaching an optimal solution. We introduced a new fittest criterion for crossing over such problems, and illu...

Genetic Algorithms: a Problem Solving Approach

Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are adaptive heuristic search algorithm premised on the evolutionary ideas of natural selection and genetic. The basic concept of GAs is designed to simulate processes in natural system necessary for evolution, specifically those that follow the principles first laid down by Charles Darwin of survival of the fittest. As such they represent an intelligent exploitation of...
