in this article, a finite horizon, multi product and multi period economic order quantity like seasonal items is considered where demand rate is deterministic and known but variable in each period. the order quantities of items come in batch sizes and the end of the period order quantity and, consequently, demand of customers are zero. in addition, storage space is constrained and the problem ...

this paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (mimo) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. the agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. a distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. the structures of the contro...

The multi-objective optimization for a multi-product multi-period four-echelon supply chain network consisting of manufacturing plants, distribution centers (DCs) and retailers each with uncertain services and uncertain customer nodes are aimed in this paper. The two objectives are minimization of the total supply chain cost and maximization of the average number of products dispatched to custo...

in the present study, a comprehensive and systematic strategy was described to evaluate the performance of several three-way calibration methods on a bio-analytical problem. parallel factor analysis (parafac), alternating trilinear decomposition (atld), self-weighted alternating trilinear decomposition (swatld), alternating penalty trilinear decomposition (aptld) and unfolded partial least squa...

Shadow estimation is an efficient method for predicting many observables of a quantum state with statistical guarantee. In the multi-shot scenario, one performs projective measurement on sequentially prepared K times after same unitary evolution, and repeats this procedure xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math...

medium-size national network is optimised using the various techniques, and the results presented in terms of the total number of DWDM systems required and the amount of wavelength-hops (giving an indication toward the number of optical transponders required). Traffic is taken as a mix between unprotected and 1+1 SNCP optical path protected demands. Traffic growth is applied over the 5 year pla...
