Title: Analysis of manufacturing supply chains using system dynamics and multi-objective optimization I ABSTRACT Supply chains are in general complex networks composed of autonomous entities whereby multiple performance measures in different levels, which in most cases are in conflict with each other, have to be taken into account. Hence, due to these multiple performance measures, supply chain...

Previous works have shown the eeciency of a new approach for the Genetic Algorithms, the Dual Genetic Algorithms, in the multiobjective optimization context. Dual Genetic Algorithms make use of a meta level to enhance the expressiveness of schemata, entities implicitly handle by Genetic Algorithms. In this paper, we show that this approach, coupled with a new method, Pareto Elitism, leads to ve...

trees are binary, split fit is co-Pareto on components (Wilkinson et al., 2005a). When input trees have polytomies, an optimal split fit supertree could include arbitrary resolutions that do not contradict any displayed splits. In that case, split fit can fail to be co-Pareto (but not sub-Pareto) on components. In contrast, the corresponding strict consensus, the split fit* supertree, suppresse...

In this article we show the relationship between the Pareto distribution and the gamma distribution. This shows that the second one, appropriately extended, explains some anomalies that arise in the practical use of extreme value theory. The results are useful to certain phenomena that are fitted by the Pareto distribution but, at the same time, they present a deviation from this law for very l...
