This book covers the theory and practice of discrete optimization for mathematics and computer science researchers. It presents new theoretical results, models, and algorithmic approaches for problems in integer programming, combinatorial optimization, scheduling, and logistics.
A Journey into Ambiguous Set Theory
An introduction to the concepts of ambiguous set theory. Through concrete examples, the book demonstrates practical applications in decision-making, control systems, and medical imaging. It is designed to be approachable for students, researchers, and enthusiasts alike.
Written by leading experts, this volume offers detailed and up-to-date findings for survey methodologists and practitioners. It deepens the reader’s understanding of the unit problem and showcases recent advances in business survey methodology and practice.
A Statistical Biography of George Udny Yule
Mills responds to the limited work on Udny Yule by embarking on the first major study of his statistical research and legacy. He explains how Yule was more than an expositor, in that he published important research, such as providing mathematical models of evolutionary behaviour.
This book presents a simplified deliberation of fractional calculus for beginners and researchers. It shows why classical Newtonian calculus fails to describe actual systems, and discusses applications of non-integer differentiation in different areas of science and engineering.
Sectoral Structures Theory is a novel, interdisciplinary framework for studying arrangements of circular sectors. This work establishes its foundations in geometric combinatorics, graph theory, and number theory, integrating concepts from algebra, topology, and group theory.
A refresher for health professionals, this book reinforces the statistical principles required for certification and board exams. Its concise presentation, with many examples and exercises, helps solidify your learning and retention of key topics.
Understanding Interactions in Complex Systems
This book explores the complex nature of interactions and the modeling of interactional systems. It shows that all disciplines can be enriched by exploring alternative paradigms, arguing that ignoring the multi-dimensional nature of interactions is not an option.
