heuristics are often used to provide solutions for flow shop scheduling problems.the performance of a heuristic is usually judged by comparing solutions and run times on test cases.this investigation proposes an analytical alternative ,called asymptotic convergence ,which tests the convergence of the heuristic to a lower bound as problem size grows. the test is a stronger variation of worst cas...

ناحیه ظرفیت برای انتقال اطلاعات کلاسیک بر روی کانال های کوانتومی multiple acsses و همچنین انتقال اطلاعات کلاسیکی بصورت امن بر روی کانال های کوانتومی نقطه به نقطه، قبلاً محاسبه گردیده است. در این کار با استفاده از اثبات قضیه ظرفیت اطلاعات کلاسیک و نیز استفاده از قضیه اپراتورهای chernoff bound، ناحیه ظرفیت جدیدی جهت انتقال امن اطلاعات کلاسیک برروی کانال های کوانتومی multiple acsses با دو فرستنده و...
