Integrated Design of an Active Flow Control System Using a Time-Dependent Adjoint Method

E.J. Nielsen, W.T. Jones (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

An exploratory study is performed to investigate the use of a time-dependent discrete adjoint methodology for design optimization of a high-lift wing configuration augmented with an active flow control system. The location and blowing parameters associated with a series of jet actuation orifices are used as design variables. In addition, a geometric parameterization scheme is developed to provide a compact set of design variables describing the wing...

On the parallel complexity of the alternating Hamiltonian cycle problem

E. Bampis, Y. Manoussakis, I. Milis (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Given a graph with colored edges, a Hamiltonian cycle is called alternating if its successive edges differ in color. The problem of finding such a cycle, even for 2-edge-colored graphs, is trivially NP-complete, while it is known to be polynomial for 2-edge-colored complete graphs. In this paper we study the parallel complexity of finding such a cycle, if any, in 2-edge-colored complete graphs. We give a new characterization for such a graph admitting an alternating Hamiltonian cycle which allows...

On the proper intervalization of colored caterpillar trees

Carme Àlvarez, Maria Serna (2009)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

This paper studies the computational complexity of the proper interval colored graph problem (PICG), when the input graph is a colored caterpillar, parameterized by hair length. In order prove our result we establish a close relationship between the PICG and a graph layout problem the proper colored layout problem (PCLP). We show a dichotomy: the PICG and the PCLP are NP-complete for colored caterpillars of hair length ≥2, while both problems are in P for colored caterpillars of hair length <2. For...
