Nonlinear programming is a numerical technique of computing the "optimum levels" of "activities" for an organization or enterpreneur wishing to maximize an "objective function" (say, profit). While ...

Flynt, CSP, CIT, has developed the CIRCLE method to explain how to make substantial progress through incremental risk ...

This study proposes a comprehensive strategy to optimize the operation of real-world gas pipeline networks and support decision-making. The goal is to improve environmental sustainability by ...

What's the difference between the snowball and avalanche debt repayment methods? Select breaks down each with a hypothetical budget and simplified numbers so you can decide which is right for you.

Methods of analysis used in the comparison of two methods of measurement are reviewed. The use of correlation, regression and the difference between means is criticized. A simple parametric approach ...

Wiping the cache on your TV can breathe new life into its performance. Here's a step-by-step guide for clearing it on top brands like Samsung, LG, and others.

To accurately simulate the thin layer of linear dispersive media, an improved 3-D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is proposed. The inclusion of a weak conditionally stabilized hybrid ...

This paper presents the critical-point-based stability analyses of finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods for Schrödinger equation incorporating vector and scalar potentials. Most previous FDTD ...

One way to get an initial upper bound is to relax the integer constraints and solve the linear programming problem using a standard method, such as the simplex algorithm. This gives you a feasible ...
