China is in the process of rapid urbanization, and wise land use is critical to the longterm sustainability of Chinese cities. Promotion of a compact city is typically believed to be a helpful for sustainable land use management. However, given the fact that Chinese cities are characterized by high population densities, the applicability of a more compact solution to expanding cities in China r...

Abst rac t : We present deadlock-free packet (wormhole) routing algorithms based on multi-dimensional interval schemes for cert~n multiprocessor interconnection networks and give their analysis in terms of the compactness and the size (the maximum number of buffers per node (per link)). The issue of a simultaneous reduction of the compactness and the size is fundamental, worth to investigate an...

We introduce the notion of hereditary G-compactness (with respect to interpretation). provide a sufficient condition for poset not be hereditarily G-compact, which we use show that any linear order is G-compact. Assuming long-standing conjecture about unstable NIP theories holds, this implies an theory G-compact if and only it stable (and by result Simon, holds unconditionally $$\aleph _0$$ -ca...
