This paper proposes a new approach for determining efficient DMUs in DEA models using inverse optimi-zation and without solving any LPs. It is shown that how a two-phase algorithm can be applied to detect effi-cient DMUs. It is important to compare computational performance of solving the simultaneous linear equa-tions with that of the LP, when computational issues and complexity analysis are a...

THE EUPHORIA HAS DIED down over our “triumph without victory” in the Gulf War, but the harm it can do is still with us. It is time to exam ine what we think we saw and learned from both the televi sion imagery and the postwar interpre ta tions. We need to as sess with a more dis­ pas sion ate eye what did and did not take place. Much—indeed, perhaps most—of what the public knows to be true abou...

Localized eigenfunctions in the two-dimensional spectral problem containing a small parameter with higher derivatives are constructed on expected solution form. Localization this context means that exponentially decays both direc-tions starting from "weakest" point or line. The constructions based algo-rithm introduced by V.P. Maslov. A modification of algorithm for thin shell theory problems i...

Self‑perception of individuals has been explored from various perspectives in the social scienc‑ es; although, very few studies have focused on self‑perception as tourists. By using semi‑ ‑structured interviews, this research aimed at approximating a vision tourist’s indestina‑ tions defined cultural. The activities tourists who visit cultural destinations are every way similar to other althoug...

The right hand side Q ~,FP (w) models the averaged environmental intera tions with the system and is referred to as the Quantum Fokker-Plan k operator. The operator Θ[V ] is a pseudo-di erential operator and takes into a ount the nonlo al a tion of the potential V . In this paper we propose a Dis ontinuous Galerkin approximation for the above problem. The omputation applies to a wide range of a...

An improved formula is derived for accurately computing the near-zone magnetic field of a s mall c irc ular transmitting loop an tenna. Such a field can serve as a reference standard for calibrating fi eld-strength meters e mploying small receiving loop anten nas in the frequency range 30 Hz to 30 MHz. This formula inc ludes correction terms for fr equency (d ue to the finite time of propagatio...
