The forward search is a powerful general method for detecting multiple masked outliers and for determining their effect on inferences about models fitted to data. From the monitoring of a series of statistics based on subsets of data of increasing size we obtain multiple views of any hidden structure. One of the problems of the forward search has always been the lack of an automatic link among ...

In this work we address the Hop-Constrained Minimum cost Flow Spanning Tree (HMFST) problem with nonlinear costs. The HMFST problem is an extension of the Hop-Constrained Minimum Spanning Tree problem since it considers flow requirements other than unit flows. We propose a hybrid heuristic, based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) and on Local Search (LS), to solve this class of problems given it...

Com as fontes de recursos cada vez mais escassas e a produção exponencial equipamentos eletro-eletrônicos (EEE), torna-se importante transição uma economia linear (EL) para circular (EC). O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar práticas que estão sendo adotadas pelas empresas produzem EEE com base na framework ReSOLVE sob perspectiva da EC. Esta pesquisa se classifica como aplicada, descritiva abo...
