Two well-known methods for the design of quasicrystal models are used to create novel nonlinear optical devices. These devices are useful for efficient three-wave mixing of several different processes, and therefore offer greater flexibility with respect to the more common periodic nonlinear photonic crystals. We demonstrate applications for polarization switching as well as multi-wavelength an...

‎this paper proposes a multi-supplier multi-product inventory model in which the suppliers have unlimited production capacity, allow delayed payment, and offer either an all-unit or incremental discount. the retailer can delay payment until after they have sold all the units of the purchased product. the retailer’s warehouse is limited, but the surplus can be stored in a rented warehouse at a...

logistic network design is one of the most important strategic decisions in supply chain management that has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. transportation network design is then one of the most important fields of logistic network. this study is concerned with designing a multi-stage and multi-product logistic network. at first, a mixed integer nonlinear programming model...
