In this paper, we consider two decomposition schemes for the graph theoretical description of the axial Multidimensional Assignment Problem (MAP). The problem is defined as finding n disjoint cliques of size m with minimum total cost in K <Subscript> m×n </Subscript>, which is an m-partite graph with n elements per...</subscript>

Several numerical methods for solving nonlinear systems of equations assume that derivative information is available. Furthermore, these approaches usually do not consider the problem of finding all solutions to a nonlinear system. Rather, most methods output a single solution. In this paper, we...

Cooperative networks have gained a tremendous amount of attention over the last several years because of their existence not only in biological, social and economic arenas, but because of direct applications in many more areas such as communications, robotics and military sciences. This volume...

Because of the clearly important role cooperative systems play in areas such as military sciences, biology, communications, robotics, and economics, just to name a few, the study of cooperative systems has intensified. This book provides an insight in the basic understanding of cooperative...
