Abstract: The actual cost function for many decision makers (like balancing authorities (BAs) of the power grid) are usually different from the symmetric cost functions that are commonly used to study ...

Improvement in the estimation of population mean has been an area of interest in sampling theory. So many estimators have been suggested for elevated estimation of the population mean in stratified ...

We give a branch-and-cut algorithm for solving linear programs (LPs) with continuous separable piecewise-linear cost functions (PLFs). Models for PLFs use continuous variables in special-ordered sets ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 29, No. 4 (Dec., 1975), pp. 571-581 (11 pages) This paper studies the topology of the minimum cost network, which connects a given set of points in R 2. The ...
