Abstract Lagrangian models use calculus to solve multi-variable non-linear constrained optimization of problems and for identifying the marginal changes (‘shadow prices’) optimal solutions in constraint bounds. This is especially useful when constraints represent resource limitations.

this work deals with effects of asymmetric stiffness on the dynamic behaviour of the rotor system. the analysis is presented through an extended lagrangian hamiltonian mechanics on the asymmetric rotor system, where symmetries are broken in terms of the rotor stiffness. the complete dynamics of asymmetries of rotor system is investigated with a case study. in this work, a mathematical model is ...

Represented Coxeter matroids of types Cn and Dn, that is, symplectic and orthogonal matroids arising from totally isotropic subspaces of symplectic or (even-dimensional) orthogonal spaces, may also be represented in buildings of type Cn and Dn, respectively (see [4, Chapter 7]). Indeed, the particular buildings involved are those arising from the flags or oriflammes, respectively, of totally is...

The analytic center cutting plane method (ACCPM) is one of successful methods to solve nondifferentiable optimization problems. In this paper ACCPM is used for the first time in the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW) to accelerate lagrangian relaxation procedure for the problem. At first the basic cutting plane algorithm and its relationship with column generation method is clari...

The Lagrangian star is a germ of the system ({L1, . . . , Lk}, p̃) of Lagrangian submanifolds in the symplectic manifold (M,ω). We investigate the symplectic group action on Lagrangian stars and construct the basic invariants of such action. The Kashiwara signature for 3-Lagrangian linear stars is generalized to the nonlinear case and the generalized contact classes for Lagrangian stars are cons...
