Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel linear-program formulation that yields “optimally safe” (OS) tension distributions in parallel cable-driven robots by the introduction of a slack variable.

Abstract: In this paper, a recurrent neural network is proposed using the augmented Lagrangian method for solving linear programming problems. The design of this neural network is based on the ...

The chloride migration coefficient (CMC) of concrete is crucial for evaluating its durability. This study develops ensemble models to predict the CMC of concrete, addressing the limitations of ...

Center on Stochastic Modeling, Optimization, and Statistics (COSMOS), The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, TX, USA. Quantitative decision analysis involves notions of comparison and ...

Employee or labor scheduling is associated with assigning an appropriate number of workers to the jobs during each day of work. It requires determining when staff members will work and when part-time, ...

Gasoline is one of the largest-volume products of the oil industry that yields 60%–70% of the total refinery revenues. This work presents a novel continuous-time mixed-integer nonlinear programming ...

In policy and academic discussions of recent years, few topics have generated more interest than fiscal multipliers, which measure how much a dollar of increased government spending or reduced taxes ...
