The original formulation of the MRS–Lade model, with non–associated flow rule on the meridian plane in the cone region, has a corner. In order to reduce the computational effort of corner solution algorithms, a modified plastic flow potential for the cone part is found in the literature. This modification may have a non–admissible flip over of the flow vector in the cone–cap intersection if the...

The stable allocation problem is a many-to-many generalization of the well-known stable marriage problem, where we seek a bipartite assignment between, say, jobs (of varying sizes) and machines (of varying capacities) that is “stable” based on a set of underlying preference lists submitted by the jobs and machines. Building on the initial work of [6], we study a natural “unsplittable” variant o...

we define minimal cn-dominating graph $mathbf {mcn}(g)$, commonality minimal cn-dominating graph $mathbf {cmcn}(g)$ and vertex minimal cn-dominating graph $mathbf {m_{v}cn}(g)$, characterizations are given for graph $g$ for which the newly defined graphs are connected. further serval new results are developed relating to these graphs.

In this paper, the separable programming problem subject to Fuzzy Relation Equation (FRE) constraints is studied. It is decomposed to two subproblems with decreasing and increasing objective functions with the same constraints. They are solved by the maximum solution and one of minimal solutions of its feasible domain, respectively. Their combination produces the original optimal solution. The ...
