Beech shearing/high-stumping to control understory interference
The research evaluated opportunities for cutting off small understory beech root suckers at 0.6-0.9 m above ground. By six years (pilot test) after cutting with lopping shears in a closed-canopy uneven-aged northern hardwood stand, 91% of high stumps ...

Pre-decomposition of discrete optimization problems to speed up the branch and bound method in a distributed computing environment [PDF]
The paper presents an implementation of branch and bound algorithm employing coarse grained parallelism. The system is based on CBC (COIN-OR branch and cut) open-source MIP solver and inter-process communication capabilities of Erlang.

Branch Less, Cut More and Schedule Jobs with Release and Delivery Times on Uniform Machines
We consider the problem of scheduling n jobs with identical processing times and given release as well as delivery times on m uniform machines. The goal is to minimize the makespan, i.e., the maximum full completion time of any job.

A branch-and-cut algorithm for the Time Window Assignment Vehicle Routing Problem [PDF]
This paper presents a branch-and-cut algorithm for the Time Window Assignment Vehicle Routing Problem (TWAVRP), the problem of assigning time windows for delivery before demand volume becomes known.

Poles and Branch Cuts in Free Surface Hydrodynamics [PDF]
We consider the motion of ideal incompressible fluid with free surface. We analyzed the exact fluid dynamics though the time-dependent conformal mapping $z=x+iy=z(w,t)$ of the lower complex half plane of the conformal variable $w$ into the area occupied by fluid. We established the exact results on the existence vs.

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 ...

A novel implementation of discrete complex image method for layered medium Green's function [PDF]
A novel implementation of discrete complex image method (DCIM) based on the Sommmerfeld branch cut is proposed to accurately capture the far-field behavior of the layered medium Green's function as a complement to the traditional DCIM.

We investigate the single off-shell scalar box integral with massless internal lines in dimensional regularization. A special emphasis is given to higher orders in the dimensional regularization parameter epsilon, its branch cut structure, and kinematic ...
