This paper considers the hybrid flow shop scheduling problem, where jobs are processed in $m$ stages with the same route of the stage. Each stage has identical parallel machines for processing jobs.

Cramér-Rao Lower Bound for Fuzzy-Valued Random Variables
In some point estimation problems, we may confront imprecise (fuzzy) concepts. One important case is a situation where all observations are fuzzy rather than crisp.

An improved lower bound for Folkman's theorem [PDF]
Folkman's Theorem asserts that for each $k \in \mathbb{N}$, there exists a natural number $n = F(k)$ such that whenever the elements of $[n]$ are two-coloured, there exists a set $A \subset [n]$ of size $k$ with the property that all the sums of the form

New Query Lower Bounds for Submodular Function Minimization [PDF]
We consider submodular function minimization in the oracle model: given black-box access to a submodular set function $f:2^{[n]}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$, find an element of $\arg\min_S \{f(S)\}$ using as few queries to $f(\cdot)$ as possible. State-of-the-

Effective Lower Bound Risk [PDF]
Even when the policy rate is currently not constrained by its effective lower bound (ELB), the possibility that the policy rate will become constrained in the future lowers today's inflation by creating tail risk in future inflation and thus reducing expected inflation.

A Ginzburg–Landau Type Energy with Weight and with Convex Potential Near Zero
In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of minimizing solutions of a Ginzburg–Landau type functional with a positive weight and with convex potential near 0 and we estimate the energy in this case.

A lower bound for disconnection by random interlacements [PDF]
We consider the vacant set of random interlacements on Z^d, with d bigger or equal to 3, in the percolative regime. Motivated by the large deviation principles obtained in our recent work arXiv:1304.7477, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the ...

Covering energy of posets and its bounds [PDF]
The concept of covering energy of a poset is known and its McClelland type bounds are available in the literature. In this paper, we establish formulas for the covering energy of a crown with $2n$ elements and a fence with $n$ elements. A lower bound for

Variational Bounds for the Generalized Random Energy Model [PDF]
We compute the pressure of the random energy model (REM) and generalized random energy model(GREM) by establishing variational upper and lower bounds. For the upper bound, we generalize Guerra's ``broken replica symmetry bounds",and identify the random ...

On the lower bound of Spearman’s footrule
Úbeda-Flores showed that the range of multivariate Spearman’s footrule for copulas of dimension d ≥ 2 is contained in the interval [−1/d, 1], that the upper bound is attained exclusively by the upper Fréchet-Hoeffding bound, and that the lower bound is ...
