The problem of pole assignment, also known as an eigenvalue assignment, in linear discrete-time periodic systems in discs was solved by a novel method which employs elementary similarity operations. The former methods tried to assign the points inside the unit circle while preserving the stability of the discrete time periodic system. Nevertheless, now we can obtain the location of eigenvalues ...

Among the multitude of activities of Hajj Organization which require careful planning bus assignment to the Iranian pilgrim caravans d g pilgrimage is the most important one. The objective of this assignment is to have a minimum number o standing passengers/empty seats, while satisfying a large number of operational and religious constrain. This problem was formulated as a large scale zero-one ...

The crystal structure of the already known binary title compound LaZn(5) (lanthanum penta-zinc) (space group P6/mmm, Pearson symbol hP6, CaCu(5) structure type) has been redetermined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In contrast to previous determinations based on X-ray powder data [Nowotny (1942). Z. Metallkd.34, 247-253; de Negri et al. (2008). Inter-metallics, 16, 168-178], where u...

The selection of optimum support system is a key step in the successful design operation of tunneling, rock mass stabilization and minimization of plastic zone extension around a tunnel. In this context, it is not sufficient to rely only on the experiences of design engineers, but taking all effective measures and parameters is necessary to do a proper choice. In this paper, multi attribute dec...

We survey some recent developments in the analysis of greedy algorithms for assignment and transportation problems. We focus on the linear programming model for matroids and linear assignment problems with Monge property, on general linear programs, probabilistic analysis for linear assignment and makespan minimization, and on-line algorithms for linear and non-linear assignment problems. Zusam...
