In an earlier paper the authors studied simplex codes of type α and β over Z4 and obtained some known binary linear and nonlinear codes as Gray images of these codes. In this correspondence, we study weight distributions of simplex codes of type α and β over Z2s . The generalized Gray map is then used to construct binary codes. The linear codes meet the Griesmer bound and a few non-linear codes...

in this paper, we present a full newton step feasible interior-pointmethod for circular cone optimization by using euclidean jordanalgebra. the search direction is based on the nesterov-todd scalingscheme, and only full-newton step is used at each iteration.furthermore, we derive the iteration bound that coincides with thecurrently best known iteration bound for small-update methods.

In this paper a two-dimensional non-oriented guillotine bin packing problem is studied when items have different priorities. Our objective is to maximize the total profit which is total revenues minus costs of used bins and wasted area. A genetic algorithm is developed to solve this problem where a new coding scheme is introduced. To evaluate the performance of the proposed GA, first an upper b...

The aim of this paper is to improve the convergence rate of frame algorithm based on Richardson iteration and Chebyshev methods. Based on Richardson iteration method, we first square the existing convergence rate of frame algorithm which in turn the number of iterations would be bisected and increased speed of convergence is achieved. Afterward, by using Chebyshev polynomials, we improve this s...

We consider the queueing maximal covering location-allocation problem (QM-CLAP) with an M/M/1 queueing system. We propose a new solution procedure based on decomposition of the problem into smaller sub-problems. We solve the resulting sub-problems both with a branch and bound algorithm and with the meta-heuristic GRASP. We also solve the entire model with GRASP. Computational results for these ...

In this paper we consider the non-preemptive variant of a multi-mode resource constrained project scheduling problem (MRCPSP) with mode identity, in which a set of project activities is partitioned into disjoint subsets while all activities forming one subset have to be processed in the same mode. We present a depth-first branch and bound algorithm for the resource constrained project schedulin...

We explore the validity of the generalized Bekenstein bound, S ≤ πMa. We define the entropy S as the logarithm of the number of states which have energy eigenvalue below M and are localized to a flat space region of width a. If boundary conditions that localize field modes are imposed by fiat, then the bound encounters wellknown difficulties with negative Casimir energy and large species number...
