In this paper we introduce a sequential block iterative method and its simultaneous version with op-timal combination of weights (instead of convex combination) for solving convex feasibility problems.When the intersection of the given family of convex sets is nonempty, it is shown that any sequencegenerated by the given algorithms converges to a feasible point. Additionally for linear feasibil...

The goal of decision-theoretic troubleshooting is to find a sequence of actions that minimizes the expected cost of repair of a device. If the device is complex then it is convenient to create several Bayesian Networks, each designed to solve a particular problem. At the beginning of a troubleshooting process, it is often necessary to help the user to select the proper model. Complications aris...

The problem of designing a set of routes with minimum cost to serve a collection of customers with a fleet of vehicles is a fundamental challenge when the number of customers to be dropped or picked up is not known during the planning horizon. The purpose of this paper is to develop a vehicle routing Problem (VRP) model that addresses stochastic simultaneous pickup and delivery in the urban pub...

the accumulative roll bonding process is used as a severe plastic deformation technique to produce aluminum composite sheets with ultra fine structure. in this study the effect of simultaneous use mg and sic particles as reinforcements, on the tensile properties of the al-mg-sic hybrid compositeis studied. the al-mg-sic hybrid composites with different amounts of mg and sic contents were fabric...

Inelastic Cooper pair tunneling across a voltage-biased Josephson junction in series with one or more microwave cavities can generate photons via resonant processes which the energy lost by matches that of photon(s) produced. We generalize previous theoretical treatments such systems to analyze cases where two different photon generation are simultaneously. also explore detail specific case sin...

In this work we investigate an inverse geometry problem. Given a light source, a diffuse plane and a caustic image, how must a geometric object look like (transmissive or reflective) in oder to project the desired caustic onto the diffuse plane when lit by the light source? In order to construct the geometry we apply an analysis-by-synthesis approach, exploiting the GPU to accelerate caustic re...
