    • Pup Matching: Model Formulations and Solution Approaches 

      Bossert, J.M.; Magnanti, Thomas L. (2002-01)
      We model Pup Matching, the logistics problem of matching or pairing semitrailers known as pups to cabs able to tow one or two pups simultaneously, as an NP-complete version of the Network Loading Problem (NLP). We examine ...

    • Modeling generalized stacking fault in Au using tight-binding potential combined with a simulated annealing method 

      Cai, Jun; Wang, Jian-Sheng (2002-01)
      Tight-binding potential combined with a simulated annealing method is used to study the generalized stacking fault structure and energy of gold. The potential is chosen to fit band structures and total energies from a set ...
