Given a set of n jobs with integral release dates, processing times and weights, it is a natural and important scheduling problem to compute a schedule that minimizes the sum of the weighted flow times of the jobs. There ...

Consider the Maximum Weight Independent Setproblem for rectangles: given a family ofweighted axis-parallel rectangles in the plane, find a maximum-weight subset of non-overlappingrectangles. The problem is notoriously hard ...

The use of neural network models for time series forecasting has been motivated by experimental results that indicate high capacity for function approximation with good accuracy. Generally, these models use activation ...

The raindrop size distribution (DSD) parameters, which consists of the mass-weighted average diameter (Dm) and the scaling parameter for the concentration (Nw) are essential to estimate precipitation in numerical modelling ...
