Untwisting 3‐strand torus knots
Abstract We prove that the signature bound for the topological 4‐genus of 3‐strand torus knots is sharp, using McCoy's twisting method. We also show that the bound is off by at most 1 for 4‐strand and 6‐strand torus knots, and improve the upper bound on the asymptotic ratio between the topological 4‐genus and the Seifert genus of torus knots from 2/3 ...

Game-Theoretic Approach for Solving Multiobjective Flow Problems on Networks [PDF]
The game-theoretic formulation of the multiobjective multicommodity flow problem is considered. The dynamic version of this problem is studied and an algorithm for its solving, based on the concept of multiobjective games, is proposed.

Towards optimizing the deployment of optical access networks
In this paper we study the cost-optimal deployment of optical access networks considering variants of the problem such as fiber to the home (FTTH), fiber to the building (FTTB), fiber to the curb (FTTC), or fiber to the neighborhood (FTTN).

Location of zeros for the partition function of the Ising model on bounded degree graphs
Abstract The seminal Lee–Yang theorem states that for any graph the zeros of the partition function of the ferromagnetic Ising model lie on the unit circle in C. In fact, the union of the zeros of all graphs is dense on the unit circle. In this paper, we study the location of the zeros for the class of graphs of bounded maximum degree d⩾3, both in the ...

Algorithms for minimum flows [PDF]
We present a generic preflow algorithm and several implementations of it, that solve the minimum flow problem in O(n2m) time.

One challenge for social network researchers is to evaluate balance in a social network. The degree of balance in a social group can be used as a tool to study whether and how this group evolves to a possible balanced state.

The maximum flow in dynamic networks [PDF]
The dynamic maximum flow problem that generalizes the static maximum flow problem is formulated and studied. We consider the problem on a network with capacities depending on time, fixed transit times on the arcs, and a given time horizon.

A branch-and-cut algorithm for the target visitation problem
In this paper, we consider the target visitation problem (TVP) which arises in the context of disaster treatment. Mathematically speaking, the problem is concerned with finding a route to visit a set of targets starting from and returning to some base ...

Complementarity-based nonlinear programming techniques for optimal mixing in gas networks
We consider nonlinear and nonsmooth mixing aspects in gas transport optimization problems. As mixed-integer reformulations of pooling-type mixing models already render small-size instances computationally intractable, we investigate the applicability of ...

Variantes del problema del cartero mixto que se pueden resolver usando programación lineal
Dada una gráfica mixta y conexa con costos en sus aristas y arcos, el problema del cartero mixto consiste en encontrar un circuito cerrado de la gráfica mixta que recorra sus aristas y arcos a costo mínimo. Se sabe que este problema es NP-duro.
