The Quota Traveling Salesman Problem is a generalization of the well known Traveling Salesman Problem. The goal of the traveling salesman is, in this case, to reach a given quota of the sales, minimizing the amount of time. In this paper we address the on-line version of the problem, where requests are given over time. We present algorithms for various metric spaces, and analyze their performan...

This paper presents the results of research on the applicability of neural networks in the process of computer calibration of a microsimulation traffic model. VISSIM microsimulation model is used for calibration done at the example of roundabouts in an urban area. The calibration method is based on the prediction of a neural network for one traffic indicator, i.e. for the traveling time between...

This paper is concerned with the traveling wavefronts of Belousov-Zhabotinskii model with time delay. By constructing upper and lower solutions and applying the theory of asymptotic spreading, the minimal wave speed is obtained under the weaker condition than that in the known results. Moreover, the strict monotonicity of any monotone traveling wavefronts is also established.

We consider traveling wave phenomena for a viscoelastic generalization of Burgers’ equation. For asymptotically constant velocity profiles we find three classes of solutions corresponding to smooth traveling waves, piecewise smooth waves, and piecewise constant (shock) solutions. Each solution type is possible for a given pair of asymptotic limits, and we characterize the dynamics in terms of t...

In this paper, we present a numerical method to simulate the dynamics of ferrofluids in spatially traveling, sinusoidally time-varying magnetic fields. Actuation using traveling waves involves magnetic body forces and torque on the magnetic moment of nanoparticles, both of which affect the overall pumping. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

This note is devoted to the study on the traveling wavefronts to the Nicholson’s blowflies equation with diffusion, a time-delayed reaction-diffusion equation. For the critical speed of traveling waves, we give a detailed analysis on its location and asymptotic behavior with respect to the mature age.
