Operations research and development
The paper begins with a discussion of the concepts "operations research" and "development." An overview is next given of the RDP (Reconstruction and Development Programme), which still embodies the vision of development in South Africa associated with ...

Operator inequalities dealing with operator equations [PDF]
In this paper, we study the existence of solutions of some kinds of operator equations via operator inequalities. First, we investigate characterizations of operator order $A\geqslant B >0$ and chaotic operator order log $A \geqslant$ log $B$ for positive definite operators $A$, $B$ in terms of operator equations, and generalize the results in \cite ...

On some algebras of truncated Hankel and asymmetric truncated Hankel operators [PDF]
In the last decade, a large amount of research has been concentrated on the operators living on the model space. Asymmetric truncated Toeplitz operators and asymmetric truncated Hankel operators are the natural generalization of truncated Toeplitz operators and truncated Hankel operators respectively.

The principle of local reflexivity for operator ideals and its implications [PDF]
We present a survey of past research activities and current results in constructing a mathematical framework describing the principle of local reflexivity for operator ideals and reveal further applications involving operator ideal products consisting of operators which factor through a Hilbert space.

The construction of generalised spherical fuzzy number (GSFN) is a reliable philosophy to design and understanding of vagueness and impreciseness. In this study, at first, the authors have defined the generalised spherical fuzzy set and discussed its ...

La Nova Scientia: Rewriting the History of Operational Research [PDF]
The accepted lore is that Operational Research traces its roots back to the First and Second World Wars, when scientific research was used to improve military operations. In this essay we provide a different perspective on the origins of Operational Research by arguing that these are deeply intertwined with the impressive technological advances in ...

Spectral Bounds for Polydiagonal Jacobi Matrix Operators [PDF]
The research on spectral inequalities for discrete Schrodinger Operators has proved fruitful in the last decade. Indeed, several authors analysed the operator's canonical relation to a tridiagonal Jacobi matrix operator. In this paper, we consider a generalisation of this relation with regards to connecting higher order Schrodinger-type operators ...

A comparative study of the capability of alternative mixed integer programming formulations
In selecting the best mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation the important issue is to figure out how to evaluate the performance of each candidate formulation in terms of selected criteria.
