“It Is Vital That We Should Not Keep It to Ourselves”: The Rats of Tobruk Association and the Siege of Tobruk in Australian National Memory

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
The siege of Tobruk is one of the most well‐known Australian actions of the Second World War, enjoying special attention on Anzac Day. Its elevation within Australian national memory is by no means accidental. Rather, it is the result of decades of lobbying by the Rats of Tobruk Association (ROTA), which positioned veterans of the siege as the ...

Fluctuations in the Site Disordered Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yes, 2007
We extend a previous statistical mechanical treatment of the traveling salesman problem by defining a discrete "site disordered'' problem in which fluctuations about saddle points can be computed.

Dynamic programming approaches for the traveling salesman problem with drone

open access: yesNetworks, 2017
A promising new delivery model involves the use of a delivery truck that collaborates with a drone to make deliveries. Effectively combining a truck and a drone gives rise to a new planning problem that is known as the traveling salesman problem with ...

Navigating Acceptance of Paradoxical Tensions: A Self‐Efficacy Perspective on Paradox and Goal Setting Theories

open access: yesBusiness Ethics, the Environment &Responsibility, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines how individuals accept and navigate paradoxical tensions within a sustainability context, using a multiple case study of five Italian companies implementing circularity measurement tools. By exploring the interplay between self‐efficacy and acceptance of paradoxical tensions, drawing upon the Goal Setting and Paradox ...

Convergent Duality for the Traveling Salesman Problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
A constructive method is presented for optimizing exactly the Traveling Salesman Problem as a sequence of shortest route problems. The method combines group theoretic and Lagrangean relaxation constructions.

The statistical mechanics of combinatorial optimization problems with site disorder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We study the statistical mechanics of a class of problems whose phase space is the set of permutations of an ensemble of quenched random positions. Specific examples analyzed are the finite temperature traveling salesman problem on several different ...

‘Good Enough’: The Use of Satisficing in the Design of Disruptive Innovation in Emerging Economies

open access: yesCreativity and Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While design has been acknowledged as a fundamental driver of innovation, questions remain about how design affects disruptive innovation from the perspective of consumer perceptions. Drawing from Simon's insights of bounded rationality and satisficing applied within the technology acceptance model (TAM), we propose an integrated, customer ...
