This book highlights new and original contributions on Graph Theory and Combinatorial Optimization both from the theoretical point of view and from applications in all fields. The book chapters describe models and methods based on graphs, structural properties, discrete optimization, network optimization, mixed-integer programming, heuristics, meta-heuristics, math-heuristics, and exact methods as well as applications. The book collects selected contributions from the CTW2020 international conference (18th Cologne-Twente Workshop on Graphs and Combinatorial Optimization), held online on September 14-16, 2020. The conference was organized by IASI-CNR with the contribution of University of Roma Tre, University Roma Tor Vergata, and CNRS-LIX and with the support of AIRO. It is addressed to researchers, PhD students, and practitioners in the fields of Graph Theory, Discrete Mathematics, Combinatorial Optimization, and Operations Research.
This comprehensive overview of determinantal ideals includes an analysis of the latest results. Following the carefully structured presentation, you’ll develop new insights into addressing and solving open problems in liaison theory and Hilbert schemes. Three principal problems are addressed in the book: CI-liaison class and G-liaison class of standard determinantal ideals; the multiplicity conjecture for standard determinantal ideals; and unobstructedness and dimension of families of standard determinantal ideals. The author, Rosa M. Miro-Roig, is the winner of the 2007 Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer Prize.
Additive combinatorics is a relatively recent term coined to comprehend the developments of the more classical additive number theory, mainly focussed on problems related to the addition of integers. Some classical problems like the Waring problem on the sum of k-th powers or the Goldbach conjecture are genuine examples of the original questions addressed in the area. One of the features of contemporary additive combinatorics is the interplay of a great variety of mathematical techniques, including combinatorics, harmonic analysis, convex geometry, graph theory, probability theory, algebraic geometry or ergodic theory. This book gathers the contributions of many of the leading researchers in the area and is divided into three parts. The two first parts correspond to the material of the main courses delivered, Additive combinatorics and non-unique factorizations, by Alfred Geroldinger, and Sumsets and structure, by Imre Z. Ruzsa. The third part collects the notes of most of the seminars which accompanied the main courses, and which cover a reasonably large part of the methods, techniques and problems of contemporary additive combinatorics.
The evolution of the urban context over the last decades has made it increasingly difficult to find space for a garden within large cities. As a result, designers are obliged to find strategical and elaborate solutions to make the most of limited surface areas, marking a radical shift in traditional landscape architecture. Small Private Gardens presents 136 pages with over 140 images of some of the most recent and interesting small private garden spaces around the world that employ innovative layout concepts and creative decoration ideas that serve as an inspiration to those interested in design and owners of small gardens. Book jacket.
Review: "Balancing form with function, the designs featured in this book cover a wide array of elements, from traditional park benches and tree planters to breathtaking lighting designs and pedestrian crossings. Inside, you'll see some of the focal points of the world's most innovative urban design projects, including: parks, streets, bridges, and squares."--BOOK JACKET
This book has been awarded the Ferran Sunyer i Balaguer 2005 prize. The aim of this book is to give an overview of selected topics on the topology of real and complex isolated singularities, with emphasis on its relations to other branches of geometry and topology. The first chapters are mostly devoted to complex singularities and a myriad of results spread in a vast literature, which are presented here in a unified way, accessible to non-specialists. Among the topics are the fibration theorems of Milnor; the relation with 3-dimensional Lie groups; exotic spheres; spin structures and 3-manifold invariants; the geometry of quadrics and Arnold's theorem which states that the complex projective...
This carefully edited volume contains selected refereed papers based on lectures presented by many distinguished speakers at the "Integers Conference 2005", an international conference in combinatorial number theory. The conference was held in celebration of the 70th birthday of Ronald Graham, a leader in several fields of mathematics.
Provides a comprehensive review of the recent advances in agricultural robotics, such as advances in sensing and perception, as well as technologies and actuation Addresses our understanding of the social, ethical and economic aspects of agricultural robotics, including the regulatory frameworks and standards required to authorise their adoption Provides examples of the practical application of agricultural robotics in an array of agricultural settings, from greenhouse and orchard cultivation, to meat/fish processing
Over the past decade, incorporating water features into the architectural landscape has become a prevailing theme. As a result, there are hundreds of noteworthy installations wordwide on a public level that document the drama and beauty that water can bring to a landscape design. Far beyond the simple central fountain, landscape designers are bringing innovative and startling creativity to their landscapes using water as a central feature.This book presents work from some of the best designers in this area worldwide, and presents all the details behind the most interesting and dynamic water features being created. This stunning collection, which includes plans, drawings, and beautiful photographs, will inspire and inform both planners and designers on the possibilities for incorporating water into landscape design.
This volume is dedicated to the memory of Rudolf Ahlswede, who passed away in December 2010. The Festschrift contains 36 thoroughly refereed research papers from a memorial symposium, which took place in July 2011. The four macro-topics of this workshop: theory of games and strategic planning; combinatorial group testing and database mining; computational biology and string matching; information coding and spreading and patrolling on networks; provide a comprehensive picture of the vision Rudolf Ahlswede put forward of a broad and systematic theory of search.
