the robust coloring problem (rcp) is a generalization of the well-known graph coloring problem where we seek for a solution that remains valid when extra edges are added. the rcp is used in scheduling of events with possible last-minute changes and study frequency assignments of the electromagnetic spectrum. this problem has been proved as np-hard and in instances larger than 30 vertices, meta-...

in this paper, a robust model presented is developed for hub covering flow problem in which hubs have capacity. this problem has two objective functions converting to a single-objective problem by using weighting method. firstly, the problem will be formulated in a certain case. then, by considering the demand as a non-random variable, it will be modeled by robust optimization. finally, by usin...

Robust supplier selection problem, in a scenario-based approach has been proposed, when the demand and exchange rates are subject to uncertainties. First, a deterministic multi-objective mixed integer linear programming is developed; then, the robust counterpart of the proposed mixed integer linear programming is presented using the recent extension in robust optimization theory. We discuss dec...

In humans, experimental studies of circadian resetting typically have been limited to lengthy episodes of exposure to continuous bright light. To evaluate the time course of the human endogenous circadian pacemaker's resetting response to brief episodes of intermittent bright light, we studied 16 subjects assigned to one of two intermittent lighting conditions in which the subjects were present...
