Reconfiguration of farming systems to reach various productive and environmental objectives while meeting farm and policy constraints is complicated by the large array of farm components involved, and the multitude of interrelations among these components. This hampers the evaluation of...

In this article, we are interested in managing engineering design of ad hoc wireless network. We have to design topology of such networks to guarantee all nodes cover. So, spanning tree concept is applied to design and optimise the tree with the constraint of the degree (d-MSTP) of the...

Some aspects of economic systems (eg, nonlinearity, qualitative variables) are intractable when incorporated into models. The widespread practice of excluding them (or greatly limiting their role) produces deviations of unknown size and form between the resulting models and the reality they...

This paper examines the learning dynamics of boundedly rational agents, who are asked to contribute to a discrete public good. In an incomplete information setting, we discuss contribution games and subscription games. The theoretical results on myopic best response dynamics implying striking...

Genetic algorithms were the first evolutionary algorithm designed. These algorithms simulate natural selection to produce good solutions quickly for complex problems. Job shop scheduling with sequence dependent setup times is an NP-hard problem – any algorithm to optimize this problem has...
