In this paper we introduce several classes of generalized convexfunctions already discussed in the literature and show the relationbetween those function classes. Moreover, for some of those functionclasses a Farkas-type theorem is proved. As such this paper unifiesand extends results existing...

In this paper which will appear as a chapter in the Handbook ofGeneralized Convexity we discuss the basic ideas ofconvex and quasiconvex analysis in finite dimensional Euclideanspaces. To illustrate the usefulness of this branchof mathematics also applications to optimization theory...

Real-time railway operations are subject to stochastic disturbances. However, a railway timetable is a deterministic plan. Thus a timetable should be designed in such a way that it can absorb the stochastic disturbances as well as possible. To that end, a timetable contains buffer times between...
