multistage stochastic programming is a key technology for making decisions over time in an uncertain environment. one of the promising areas in which this technology is implementable, is medium term planning of electricity production and trading where decision makers are typically faced with uncertain parameters (such as future demands and market prices) that can be described by stochastic proc...

through a collection of cooperative agents called ants, the near optimal solution to the multi-reservoir operation problem may be effectively achieved employing ant colony optimization algorithms (acoas). the problem is approached by considering a finite operating horizon, classifying the possible releases from the reservoir(s) into pre-determined intervals, and projecting the problem on a grap...

the wiener index is a graph invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. inaddition to that a generating function, which was called the wiener polynomial, who’sderivate is a q-analog of the wiener index was defined. in an article, sagan, yeh and zhang in[the wiener polynomial of a graph, int. j. quantun chem., 60 (1996), 959969] attainedwhat graph operations do to the wiener po...

Cluster analysis aims at partitioning data into groups or clusters. In applications, it is common to deal with problems where the number of clusters unknown. Bayesian mixture models employed in such applications usually specify a flexible prior that takes account uncertainty respect However, major empirical challenge involving use these characterisation induced on partitions. This work introduc...
