We propose a method for finding the efficient set of a multiple objective linear program based on the well-known facial decomposition of the efficient set. The method incorporates a simple linear programming test that identifies efficient faces while employing a top--down search strategy which avoids enumeration of efficient extreme points and locates the maximally efficient faces of the feasib...

The paper reports on the results of a recent study on student perceptions on agile practices. The study involved forty-five students enrolled in three different academic programs (Diploma, Bachelor’s and Master’s) in two institutions to determine their perceptions of the use of extreme programming practices in doing their design and coding assignments. Overwhelmingly, students’ experiences were...

super eciency data envelopment analysis(dea) model can be used in ranking the performanceof ecient decision making units(dmus). in dea, non-extreme ecient unitshave a super eciency score one and the existing super eciency dea models do notprovide a complete ranking about these units. in this paper, we will propose a methodfor ranking the performance of the extreme and non-extreme ecient u...

The Efficient Coding Hypothesis, suggests that sensory relays recode sensory messages, so that their redundancy is reduced, but little information is lost. Coding to reduce redundancy eliminates wasteful neural activity, and also organizes sensory information such than an internal model of the environment causing the past sensory inputs to built up, while the current sensory situation is repres...

One of the main issues in addressing three-dimensional packing problems is finding an efficient and accurate definition of the points where to place the items inside the bins. The performance of exact and heuristic methods is actually strongly influenced by the choice of a placement rule. We introduce the Extreme Point concept and present a new Extreme Point-based rule for packing items inside ...

Novel table-top sources of extreme-ultraviolet light based on high-harmonic generation yield unique insight into the fundamental properties of molecules, nanomaterials or correlated solids, and enable advanced applications in imaging or metrology. Extending high-harmonic generation to high repetition rates portends great experimental benefits, yet efficient extreme-ultraviolet conversion of cor...

We consider a multiple criterion Boolean programming problem with MINMAX partial criteria. The extreme level of independent perturbations of partial criteria parameters such that efficient (Pareto optimal) solution preserves optimality was obtained. MSC: 90C29, 90C31

We describe the central problem in developing an efficient algorithm for enumerating the extreme points of a convex polytope specified by linear constraints, and discuss a conjecture for its solution.
