Solving the Task Assignment Problem with a Variable Neighborhood Search

Kratica, Jozef, Savić, Aleksandar, Filipović, Vladimir, Milanović, Marija (2010)

Serdica Journal of Computing

In this paper a variable neighborhood search (VNS) approach for the task assignment problem (TAP) is considered. An appropriate neighborhood scheme along with a shaking operator and local search procedure are constructed specifically for this problem. The computational results are presented for the instances from the literature, and compared to optimal solutions obtained by the CPLEX solver and heuristic solutions generated by the genetic algorithm. It can be seen that the proposed VNS approach reaches...

Solving variational inclusions by a multipoint iteration method under center-Hölder continuity conditions

Catherine Cabuzel, Alain Pietrus (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We prove the existence of a sequence ( x k ) satisfying 0 ∈ f ( x k ) + ∑ i = 1 M a i ∇ f ( x k + β i ( x k + 1 - x k ) ) ( x k + 1 - x k ) + F ( x k + 1 ) , where f is a function whose second order Fréchet derivative ∇²f satifies a center-Hölder condition and F is a set-valued map from a Banach space X to the subsets of a Banach space Y. We show that the convergence of this method is superquadratic.

Some abstract error estimates of a finite volume scheme for a nonstationary heat equation on general nonconforming multidimensional spatial meshes

Abdallah Bradji, Jürgen Fuhrmann (2013)

Applications of Mathematics

A general class of nonconforming meshes has been recently studied for stationary anisotropic heterogeneous diffusion problems, see Eymard et al. (IMA J. Numer. Anal. 30 (2010), 1009–1043). Thanks to the basic ideas developed in the stated reference for stationary problems, we derive a new discretization scheme in order to approximate the nonstationary heat problem. The unknowns of this scheme are the values at the centre of the control volumes, at some internal interfaces, and at the mesh points...

Some applications of probability generating function based methods to statistical estimation

Manuel L. Esquível (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

After recalling previous work on probability generating functions for real valued random variables we extend to these random variables uniform laws of large numbers and functional limit theorem for the empirical probability generating function. We present an application to the study of continuous laws, namely, estimation of parameters of Gaussian, gamma and uniform laws by means of a minimum contrast estimator that uses the empirical probability generating function of the sample. We test the procedure...

Some applications of the Pascal matrix to the study of numerical methods for differential equations

Lidia Aceto (2005)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

In this paper we introduce and analyze some relations between the Pascal matrix and a new class of numerical methods for differential equations obtained generalizing the Adams methods. In particular, we shall prove that these methods are suitable for solving stiff problems since their absolute stability regions contain the negative half complex plane.

Some Computational Aspects of the Consistent Mass Finite Element Method for a (semi-)periodic Eigenvalue Problem

De Schepper, H. (1999)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

We consider a model eigenvalue problem (EVP) in 1D, with periodic or semi–periodic boundary conditions (BCs). The discretization of this type of EVP by consistent mass finite element methods (FEMs) leads to the generalized matrix EVP Kc = λ M c, where K and M are real, symmetric matrices, with a certain (skew–)circulant structure. In this paper we fix our attention to the use of a quadratic FE–mesh. Explicit expressions for the eigenvalues of the resulting algebraic EVP are established. This leads...
