In this paper, we consider the max-cut problem as studied by Goemans and Williamson [8]. Since the problem is NP-hard in general, following Goemans and Williamson, we apply the approximation method based on the semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation. In fact, the estimated worst-case performance ratio is dependent on the data of the problem with α being a uniform lower bound. In light of thi...

least squares method (lsm) is an accurate and rapid method for solving some analytical andnumerical problems. this method can be used to estimate the average reservoir pressure in well testanalysis. in fact, it may be employed to estimate parameters such as permeability (k) and porevolume (vp). regarding this point, buildup, drawdown, late transient test data, modified muskatmethod, interferenc...

isoniazid (inh) was studied with regard to its electrochemical treatment on a strongly alkaline solution of a poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-modified gold electrode, using both cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential techniques. this composite electrode exhibited 4-fold higher oxidation of inh, in accordance with peak densities, than the bare gold electrode. it was used the central compo...

recently, gasimov and yenilmez proposed an approach for solving two kinds of fuzzy linear programming (flp) problems. through the approach, each flp problem is first defuzzified into an equivalent crisp problem which is non-linear and even non-convex. then, the crisp problem is solved by the use of the modified subgradient method. in this paper we will have another look at the earlier defuzzifi...

Herein, we report, for the first time, synthesis, characterization, and photocatalytic methyl blue dye degradation performance of magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized by a facile green approach using Camellia sinensis (tea leaves) extract as reducing agent. The as-prepared materials were characterized X-ray diffraction (XRD), which confirmed large-scale synthesis well crystalli...

We propose a novel theory of self-fulfilling fluctuations in the labor market. A firm employing an additional worker generates positive externalities on other firms, because employed workers have more income to spend and have less time to shop for low prices than unemployed workers. We quantify these shopping externalities and show that they are sufficiently strong to create strategic complemen...
