We show that the Glover-Doyle algorithm can be formulated simply by using the (J, J’)-lossless factorization method and chain scattering matrix description. This algorithm was first stated by Glover and Doyle in 1988. Because the corresponding diagonal block of the (J,J’)lossless matrix in the general 4-block H” control problem of the Glover-Doyle algorithm is not square, a new type of chain sc...

This paper proposes a new hybrid tree search algorithm to the Multidimensional Knapsack Problem (MKP) that effectively combines tabu search with a dynamic and adaptive neighborhood search procedure. The authors’ heuristic, based on a filter-and-fan (F&F) procedure, uses a Linear Programming-based Heuristic to generate a starting solution to the F&F process. A tabu search procedure is used to tr...

saturated hydraulic conductivity (ks) is one of the most important physical features of soil that have wide usage in soil and water science. measuring ks carries on laboratory and field. guelph permeameter (gp) method is one of the field measuring method for determining field saturated hydraulic conductivity (kfs) above the ground water table. well-shape-factor (c) is one important parameter ne...

Tobacco consumption—most notably smokeless tobacco use—has become one of the fastest growing detrimental health habits in North America. Adolescents still perceive ST as a safe alternative to cigarettes. This paper provides state-specific information about the prevalence of ST use in the United States. A review of the literature reveals that the groups at highest risk are white youth and young ...

In this paper, we present a variant of local search, namely the Life Span Method (LSM), for generic combinatorial optimization problems. The LSM can be seen as a variation of tabu search introduced by Glover [18, 19]. We outline applications of the LSM to several combinatorial optimization problems such as the maximum stable set problem, the traveling salesman problem, the quadratic assignment ...

Heavily boron-doped, diamond films can become superconducting with critical temperatures Tc well above 4 K. Here we first measure the reflectivity of such a film down to 5 cm(-1), by also using coherent synchrotron radiation. We thus determine the optical gap 2Delta, the field penetration depth lambda, the range of action of the Ferrell-Glover-Tinkham sum rule, and the electron-phonon spectral ...
