intentional assignment of entitlements (as opposed to debts) is a legal institution which is based on the possibility of separation of entitlements from the personality of creditor and of its assignment to a third party. in the voluntary assignment of entitlements, the creditors may assign their rights to a third party. after long discussions, voluntary assignment of rights has been accepted in...

This review illustrates by means of sample reactions the potential of a future global e+e− Linear Collider (LC) for precision measurements of Supersymmetric particles with emphasis on recent studies and addressing major research directions. Presented at SUSY 2003: Supersymmetry in the Desert , held at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, June 5-10, 2003. To appear in the Proceedings. EXPLORIN...

Problém priradenia parciálnych charakteristických hodnôt lineárnych riadiacich systémov použitím ortogonálnych závislostí The partial eigenvalue assignment is the problem of reassigning a part of the open-loop spectrum of a linear system by a feedback control, leaving the rest of the spectrum invariant. In the paper, we propose a novel solution to the partial eigenvalue assignment problem of li...

Concerning the population growth and urban development, significant growth in the rate of personal car usage has caused more transportation and thus growth in occupying the street areas for parking vehicles. This has caused much transporting problems and traffic. Hence concerning the parking issue is crucial in traffic and municipal management.The important issue is the suitable place for the p...

A faculty-course-time slot assignment problem is studied. The multiobjective 0-1 linear programming model considering both the administration’s and instructors’ preferences is developed and a demonstrative example is included. Both modeling and solving such problems are difficult tasks due to the size, the varied nature, and conflicting objectives of the problems. The difficulty increases becau...

Reviewer assignment problem in the research field usually refers to invite experts for comments on the quality of papers, projects, etc. Different factors in conventional approaches are reckoned to choose appropriate reviewers, such as the relevance between reviewer candidates and submissions, the diversity of candidates. However, many studies ignore the temporal changes of reviewer interest an...

Let us denote a⊕ b=max(a; b) and a⊗ b= a+ b for a; b∈R=R ∪ {−∞} and extend this pair of operations to matrices and vectors in the same way as in linear algebra. We present an O(n(m + n log n)) algorithm for 8nding all essential terms of the max-algebraic characteristic polynomial of an n × n matrix over R with m 8nite elements. In the cases when all terms are essential, this algorithm also solv...

The referee assignment problem in sports scheduling is addressed for the First Division of the Chilean professional football league using integer linear programming. Various criteria that enhance the transparency and objectivity of the assignment process are considered. As well as better balances in the number of matches each referee must officiate, the frequency each is assigned to a given tea...

We present a review of the various integer linear programming (ILP) formulations that have been proposed for the routing and wavelength assignment problem in WDM optical networks with a unified and simplified notation under asymmetrical assumptions on the traffic. We show that all formulations proposed under asymmetrical traffic assumptions, both link and path formulations, are equivalent in te...

The design of state observer for a linear discrete or continuous time uncertain system based on circularly regional pole assignment is studied. Taking use of algebraic Riccati equations and linear matrix inequalities, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the state observer based on circularly regional pole assignment is proposed and the formulation of the gain matrix of the ...
