In this paper, we present a binary-linear optimization model to prevent the spread of an infectious disease in a community. The model is based on the remotion of some connections in a contact network in order to separate infected nodes from the others. By using this model we nd an exact optimal solution and determine not only the minimum number of deleted links but also their exact positions. T...

We use purely topological tools to construct several infinite families of hyperbolic links in the 3-sphere that satisfy Turaev-Viro invariant volume conjecture posed by Chen and Yang. To show our conjecture, we prove each has complement homeomorphic a fundamental shadow link. These are connected sums copies $S^2 \times S^1$ for which is known due Belletti, Detcherry, Kalfagianni, Our methods al...

this paper focuses on the effects of closed- control on the calculation of the dynamic load carrying capacity (dlcc) for mobile-base flexible-link manipulators. in previously proposed methods in the literature of dlcc calculation in flexible robots, an open-loop control scheme is assumed, whereas in reality, robot control is achieved via closed loop approaches which could render the calculated ...
