We consider an obnoxious facility location problem in which the facility is a trajectory consisting of a bounded length polygonal chain of two edges having extremes anchored at tw...
This paper presents an algorithm for generating unconstrained guillotine-cutting patterns for rectangular blanks. A pattern includes at most two sections, each of which consists o...

5 In the probabilistic traveling salesman problem (PTSP), customers require a visit with a given probability, and the best solution is the tour through all customers with the lowe...
Evolution by natural selection may include both frequency and density-dependence. Frequency-dependent selection is a kind of hermeneutic circle. As a literary term (and a school o...
