We further develop the 0/1 ILP formulation of Lee for edge coloring where colors are encoded in binary. With respect to that formulation, our main contributions are: (i) an efficient separation algorithm for general block inequalities, (ii) an efficient LP-based separation algorithm for stars (i.e., the all-different polytope), (iii) introduction of matching inequalities, (iv) introduction of s...

[1] The geodetic velocity and strain rate patterns in Anatolia constrain the rheology of the lithosphere, once compared with thin shell finite element tectonic model predictions. Geodetic and modeled deformation favors a hard lithospheric rheology, responsible for the high EastWest horizontal velocities in the center of Anatolia, between 39 –41 N, in proximity of the North Anatolian Fault. The ...

1 Overview Sensors are well known in Geodetic Science; also, integrating sensor to sensor networks is not new. This has been done to observe geodetic networks for exact point densification ever since. Traditional geodetic networks consist of a fixed set of dedicated sensors with a given configuration and measurement regime. The processing of the data is usually done in a centralized fashion. Ge...

[1] Variations in fluid loads such as the oceans and the atmosphere deform the surface of the Earth. The accuracy of station coordinates, in particular, heights, that can be estimated depends on how well one can separate these surface deformations from the associated translational motion between the center of mass of the solid Earth and the total Earth (CM). We applied simulated atmospheric pre...

A brief Note compiled by: Prof. Madhav N. Kulkarni, IIT Bombay Since the inception of the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) system in 1967, this radio interferometry technique has revolutionised the fields of geodesy, geodynamics and astrometry. With the unprecedented precision and resolution made possible by VLBI various tasks such as geodetic positioning, reference frames interconnect...

An eternal $m$-secure set of a graph $G = (V,E)$ is aset $S_0subseteq V$ that can defend against any sequence ofsingle-vertex attacks by means of multiple-guard shifts along theedges of $G$. A suitable placement of the guards is called aneternal $m$-secure set. The eternal $m$-security number$sigma_m(G)$ is the minimum cardinality among all eternal$m$-secure sets in $G$. An edge $uvin E(G)$ is ...

Due to the relative lack of empirical field data, the response of very small glaciers (here defined as being smaller than 0.5 km2) to current atmospheric warming is not fully understood yet. Investigating their mass balance, e.g. using the direct glaciological method, is a prerequisite to fill this knowledge gap. Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) techniques operating in the near infrared range c...

Conceptually graph vulnerability relates to the study of graphintactness when some of its elements are removed. The motivation forstudying vulnerability measures is derived from design and analysisof networks under hostile environment. Graph tenacity has been anactive area of research since the the concept was introduced in1992. The tenacity T(G) of a graph G is defined asbegin{center} $T(G)=di...
