Despite consequences of pandemic, work community has only grown come closer together collaborative learning. Innovations co...

tion, led to a rapid development of techniques, established a common language for communicating the dynamics of domain models (PDDL), and helped in the validation and scrutiny of planning algorithms. Further, the IPC has facilitated the sharing of benchmark domain models, tasks, and planning tools through the use of PDDL. However, the narrow focus and limiting assumptions of the IPC are controv...

Given a digraph D, its competition graph has the same vertex set and an edge between two vertices x and y if there is a vertex u so that (x, u) and (y, u) are arcs of D. Motivated by a problem of communications, we study the competition graphs of the special digraphs known as semiorders. This leads us to define a conditions on digraphs called C(p) and C(p) and to study the graphs arising as com...

Restructuring of power system has faced this industry with numerous uncertainties. As a result, transmission expansion planning (TEP) like many other problems has become a very challenging problem in such systems. Due to these changes, various approaches have been proposed for TEP in the new environment. In this paper a new algorithm for TEP is presented. The method is based on probabilisti...

We consider price competition models for oligopolistic markets, in which a significant part of the product or service price is paid by a third party, as a subsidy. The consumer is, therefore, impacted by the net price, defined as the difference between the nominal price and the subsidy, while the firms earn the full nominal price, partially paid by the subsidizing third party and the remainder ...
