Knapsack Problems
This book provides a full-scale presentation of all methods and techniques available for the solution of the Knapsack problem. This most basic combinatorial optimization problem appears explicitly or as a subproblem in a wide range of optimization models with backgrounds such diverse as cutting and packing, finance, logistics or general integer programming. This monograph spans the range from a comprehensive introduction of classical algorithmic methods to the unified presentation of the most recent and advanced results in this area many of them originating from the authors. The chapters dealing with particular versions and extensions of the Knapsack problem are self-contained to a high degree and provide a valuable source of reference for researchers. Due to its simple structure, the Knapsack problem is an ideal model for introducing solution techniques to students of computer science, mathematics and economics. The first three chapters give an in-depth treatment of several basic techniques, making the book also suitable as underlying literature for courses in combinatorial optimization and approximation.
Statisticians of the Centuries
Written by leading statisticians and probabilists, this volume consists of 104 biographical articles on eminent contributors to statistical and probabilistic ideas born prior to the 20th Century. Among the statisticians covered are Fermat, Pascal, Huygens, Neumann, Bernoulli, Bayes, Laplace, Legendre, Gauss, Poisson, Pareto, Markov, Bachelier, Borel, and many more.
Algorithms and Data Structures
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Algorithms and Data Structures, WADS 2001, held in Providence, RI, USA in August 2001. The 40 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 89 submissions. Among the topics addressed are multiobjective optimization, computational graph theory, approximation, optimization, combinatorics, scheduling, Varanoi diagrams, packings, multi-party computation, polygons, searching, etc.
Euro-Par 2015: Parallel Processing
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Parallel and Distributed Computing, Euro-Par 2015, held in Vienna, Austria, in August 2015. The 51 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 190 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: support tools and environments; performance modeling, prediction and evaluation; scheduling and load balancing; architecture and compilers; parallel and distributed data management; grid, cluster and cloud computing; distributed systems and algorithms; parallel and distributed programming, interfaces and languages; multi- and many-core programming; theory and algorithms for parallel computation; numerical methods and applications; and accelerator computing.
Algorithms -- ESA 2004
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms, ESA 2004, held in Bergen, Norway, in September 2004. The 70 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed from 208 submissions. The scope of the papers spans the entire range of algorithmics from design and mathematical issues to real-world applications in various fields, and engineering and analysis of algorithms.
The Gendered Worlds of Latin American Women Workers
In Latin American countries, the modern factory originally was considered a hostile and threatening environment for women and family values. Nine essays dealing with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Guatemala describe the contradictory experiences of women whose work defied gender prescriptions but was deemed necessary by working-class families in a world of need and scarcity. 19 photos.
Operations Research Proceedings 2021
This book gathers a selection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the International Conference on Operations Research (OR 2021), which was hosted online by the University of Bern from August 31 to September 3, 2021, and was jointly organized by the Operations Research Societies of Switzerland (SVOR/ASRO), Germany (GOR e.V.), and Austria (ÖGOR). The respective papers discuss classical mathematical optimization, statistics and simulation techniques. These are complemented by computer science methods, and by tools for processing data, designing and implementing information systems. The book also examines recent advances in information technology, which allow massive volumes of data to be processed and enable real-time predictive and prescriptive business analytics to drive decisions and actions. Lastly, it presents a selection of problems that are modeled and treated while taking into account uncertainty, risk management, behavioral issues, etc.
Advances in Probability Distributions with Given Marginals
'Et moi - ... - si j'avait su comment en rcvenir. One service mathematics has rendered the je n'y serais point alle.' human race. It has put common sense back Jules Verne where it belongs, on the topmost shelf next to the dusty canistcr labelled 'discarded non sense'. The scries is divergent; therefore we may be Eric T. Bell able to do something with it. O. Heaviside Mathematics is a tool for thought. A highly necessary tool in a world where both feedback and non linearities abound. Similarly, all kinds of parts of mathematics serve as tools for other parts and for other sciences. Applying a simple rewriting rule to the quote on the right above one finds such statements as: 'One service topology has rendered mathematical physics .. .'; 'One service logic has rendered com puter science .. .'; 'One service category theory has rendered mathematics .. .'. All arguably true. And all statements obtainable this way form part of the raison d'etre of this series.
Approximation and Online Algorithms
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post workshop proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Approximation and Online Algorithms, WAOA 2010, held in Liverpool, UK, in September 2010 as part of the ALGO 2010 conference event. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 58 submissions. The workshop covered areas such as algorithmic game theory, approximation classes, coloring and partitioning, competitive analysis, computational finance, cuts and connectivity, geometric problems, inapproximability results, echanism design, network design, packing and covering, paradigms for design and analysis of approximation and online algorithms, parameterized complexity, randomization techniques, real-world applications, and scheduling problems.
