International trade economists made seminal contributions to general equilibrium theory, moving away from an emphasis on existence of equilibrium to algebraic formulations which enabled us to characterize key relationships between parameters and variables, such as that between tariffs and...

Recently a new simulation-based optimization benchmark of groundwater contaminant source localization problems has been introduced to the hydrogeological science community. Given information on contaminant concentration levels at each monitoring well and each time step, its objective is to...

Purpose Due to unceasing declination in environment, sustainable agro-food supply chains have become a topic of concern to business, government organizations and customers. The purpose of this study is to examine a problem associated with sustainable network design in context of Indian agro-food...

We consider convex monotone semigroups on a Banach lattice, which is assumed to be a Riesz subspace of a σ -Dedekind complete Banach lattice with an additional assumption on the dual space. As typical examples, we consider the space of bounded uniformly continuous functions and the space of...

In this paper, we investigate convex semigroups on Banach lattices. First, we consider the case, where the Banach lattice is σ-Dedekind complete and satisfies a monotone convergence property, having Lp-spaces in mind as a typical application. Second, we consider monotone convex semigroups on a...

This volume is a monograph on the geometric structure of a certain class of ("comprehensive") compact polyhedra called Cephoids. A Cephoid is a Minkowski sum of finitely many standardized simplices. The emphasis rests on the Pareto surface of Cephoids which consists of certain translates of...
