Many constraint satisfaction problems (csp’s) are formulated with 0/1 variables. Sometimes this is a natural encoding, sometimes it is as a result of a reformulation of the problem, other times 0/1 variables make up only a part of the problem. Frequently we have constraints that restrict the sum of the values of variables. This can be encoded as a simple summation of the variables. However, sin...

hydroforming process in one of the most effective production method, for improving the drawing ratio in sheet metal forming process. this is due to the fact that in hydroforming process, forming takes place using a punch which drives the part forward via a controlled fluid pressure. in this paper, deep drawing hydroforming for circular punch is investigated. different pressure paths are tested ...

train energy saving problem investigates how to control train's velocity such that the quantity of energy consumption is minimized and some system constraints are satis ed. on the assumption that the train's weights on different links are estimated by fuzzy variables when making the train scheduling strategy, we study the fuzzy train energy saving problem. first, we propose a fuzzy energy ...

the realization optimality theory is a recent development in the original optimality theory which is proposed to deal with morphological issues especially the inflectional ones. its main idea is to consider the morphological realization rules as ranked violable language-specific constraints that control the realization processes and provide phonological information of grammatical morphemes. thi...

Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) is a time series distance measure that allows non-linear alignments between series. Constraints on the in form of windows and weights have been introduced because unconstrained DTW too permissive its alignments. However, windowing introduces crude step function, allowing flexibility within window, none beyond it. While not entailing multiplicative weight relative to d...
