Linear functions are fundamental building blocks in mathematics and play a key role in solving real-world problems where the rate of change remains constant. Linear functions arise in a wide range of ...

Discrete Ricci curvature formulations offer novel perspectives for characterizing geometric properties of weighted graphs. This work proposes continuous piecewise linear Ricci curvature flows and ...

We present an Oe(m + n 1.5 )-time randomized algorithm for maximum cardinality bipartite matching and related problems (e.g. transshipment, negative-weight shortest paths, and optimal transport) on ...

Our past columns have emphasized repeatedly that modeling is the single most important activity in mechatronics, which is becoming the design process of choice for successful multidisciplinary systems ...

In this paper, we introduce a new simple but powerful general technique for the study of edge- and vertex-reinforced processes with super-linear reinforcement, based on the use of order statistics for ...

Simultaneous linear equations are used to model situations where two relationships must be satisfied at the same time. These problems often involve two interdependent variables, such as comparing ...

Abstract: In multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) situations, it is widely noticed that the resolution method is impacted by the existence of imprecise information and uncertainty in the decision ...
