This paper studies the sum-of-ratios version of the classical minimum spanning tree problem. We describe a branch-and-bound algorithm for solving the general version of the problem based on its image space representation. The suggested approach specifically addresses the difficulties arising in...

A method for determining optimal risk-based maintenance and rehabilitation (M&R) policies for transportation infrastructure is presented. The proposed policies guarantee a certain performance level across the network under a predefined level of risk. The long-term model is formulated in the...

This paper deals with the problems of checking strong solvability and feasibility of linear interval equations, checking weak solvability of linear interval equations and inequalities, and finding control solutions of linear interval equations. These problems are known to be NP-hard. We use some...

Increasing interest in studying community structures, or clusters in complex networks arising in various applications has led to a large and diverse body of literature introducing numerous graph-theoretic models relaxing certain characteristics of the classical clique concept. This paper...
