The most important issue in multi-objective optimization problems is to determine the Pareto points along the Pareto frontier. If the optimization problem involves multiple conflicting objectives, the results obtained from the Pareto-optimality will have the trade-off solutions that shaping the Pareto frontier. Each of these solutions lies at the boundary of the Pareto frontier, such that the i...

Many graph problems require us to find subgraphs satisfying constraints such as no cycle, connected, degree-bounded and so on. Frontier-based search is a framework to construct a compressed data structure ZDD storing all subgraphs satisfying constraints in a given graph. Since frontier-based search processes edges one by one in a given order, we should determine an edge order of a given graph a...

Flowering time is an important trait for adaptation and productivity of chickpea in the arid and the semi-arid environments. This study was conducted for molecular mapping of genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling flowering time in chickpea using F2 populations derived from four crosses (ICCV 96029 × CDC Frontier, ICC 5810 × CDC Frontier, BGD 132 × CDC Frontier and ICC 16641 × CDC Fro...

In this paper, we present a finite sample analysis of the sample minimum-variance frontier under the assumption that the returns are independent and multivariate normally distributed. We show that the sample minimum-variance frontier is a highly biased estimator of the population frontier and we propose an improved estimator of the population frontier. In addition, we provide the exact distribu...

We consider the mean-variance (M-V) model of Markowitz and the construction of the risk-return efficient frontier. We examine the effects of applying buy-in thresholds, cardinality constraints and transaction roundlot restrictions to the portfolio selection problem. Such discrete constraints are of practical importance but make the efficient frontier discontinuous. The resulting quadratic mixed...

short-selling prohibition has been one of the primary assumptions of markowitz mean-variance model. solving markowitz quadratic model creates investment efficient frontier by considering only two return and budget constraints. in order to develop a more realistic portfolio selection model, in this paper, a new mathematical model is developed to allow short-selling under some practical constrain...

the structure and properties of niobapyrimidinium complex were examined by density functionaltheory method (mpw1pw91). the effect of solvent on the structural parameters, frontier orbitalenergies and hyperpolarizability (
tot) of this molecule has been explored. the thermodynamicproperties of the title compound at different temperatures have been calculated. also, the parasubstitutionseffect on...

let  be a banach algebra. let  be linear mappings on . first we demonstrate a theorem concerning the continuity of double derivations; especially that all of -double derivations are continuous on semi-simple banach algebras, in certain case. afterwards we define a new vocabulary called “-higher double derivation” and present a relation between this subject and derivations and finally give some ...

We establish complexities of the conjunctive query entailment problem for classes of existential rules (i.e. Tuple-Generating Dependencies or Datalog+/rules). Our contribution is twofold. First, we introduce the class of greedy bounded treewidth sets (gbts), which covers guarded rules, and their known generalizations, namely (weakly) frontier-guarded rules. We provide a generic algorithm for qu...
