The problem considered is that of obtaining majority decisions which are transitive. We show that the corresponding optimization problems for the weighted l₁ norm and the weighted l₂ norm are identical. We then show that she general problem of minimizing the weighted l_k norm can be equivalently...

This paper presents a detailed description of a particular class of deterministic single product Maritime Inventory Routing Problems (MIRPs), which we call deep-sea MIRPs with inventory tracking at every port. This class involves vessel travel times between ports that are significantly longer...
