A bi-criteria optimization is considered whose objectives are the maximization of the load sustained by a structure and the minimization of the structure's volume. As the objectives are conflicting, the solution to the problem is of the Pareto type. The problem is elaborated for a thin-walled column of cruciform cross-section, prone to flexural and torsional buckling. A numerical example is als...

Given a bipartite graph H and a positive integer n such that v(H) divides 2n, we define the minimum degree threshold for bipartite H-tiling, δ2(n,H), as the smallest integer k such that every bipartite graph G with n vertices in each partition and minimum degree δ(G) ≥ k contains a spanning subgraph consisting of vertex-disjoint copies of H. Zhao, Hladký-Schacht, Czygrinow-DeBiasio determined δ...
