    Notes: Abstract When all the functions that define a convex program are positively homogeneous, then a dual convex program can be constructed which is defined in terms of the primal data only (the primal variables do not appear). Furthermore, the dualizing process, carried out on the dual program, yields the primal. Several well-known examples of convex programs with explicit duals are shown to be special cases.

    Notes: Abstract New results concerning the family of random searches as proposed by Rastrigin are presented. In particular, the random search with reversals and two optimized relative step size random searches are investigated. Random searches with reversals are found to be substantially better than their counterparts. A new principle of updating the step size for this family of searches is proposed.

    Notes: Abstract For a bimatrix game one may visualize two bounded polyhedronsX andY, one for each player. OnX × Y one may visualize, as a graphG, the set of almost-complementary points (see text). $$\bar G$$ consists of an even number of nodes, one for each complementary point (one for the origin, others corresponding to extreme points which are equilibrium points); arcs (extreme point paths of almost complementary points); and possibly loops (paths with no equilibrium points). Shapley has shown that one may assign indices (+) and (−) to nodes, and directions called (+) and (−) to arcs or loops in such a way that, leaving a (+) node one moves always in a (+) direction, terminating at a (−) node. Indices and directions for a point are determined knowing only the point. In this paper, these concepts are generalized to labelled pseudomanifolds. An integer labelling of the vertices identifies theG-set of almost-completely labelled simplexes. It is shown that in order for theG-set of any labelling to be directed as above it is necessary and sufficient that the pseudomanifold be orientable. Realized examples for situations of current interest are also developed.

    Notes: Abstract This paper introduces theoretical measures of efficiency for triangulations used in computing fixed points. The measures, for both regular triangulations ofR n and those with continuous refinement of grid size, are based on an average count of the number of simplices met by straight line segments. The computation of these measures is facilitated by a description of the facets as well as the vertices of a triangulation. We give a simple description of a modification of Eaves' and Saigal's K3 and compute the measures of efficiency of three regular triangulations ofR n and two triangulations of (0, 1] ×R n with continuous refinement of grid size, including the modified K3.

    Notes: Abstract The availability of an LP routine where we can add constraints and reoptimize, makes it possible to adopt an integer programming approach to the travelling-salesman problem. Starting with some of the constraints that define the problem we use either a branching process or a cutting planes routine to eliminate fractional solutions. We then test the resulting integer solution against feasibility and if necessary we generate the violated constraints and reoptimize until a “genuine” feasible solution is achieved. Usually only a small number of the omitted constraints is generated. The generality of the method and the modest solution times achieved leads us to believe that such an LP approach to other combinatorial problems deserves further consideration.

    Notes: Abstract Convergence properties of restarted conjugate gradient methods are investigated for the case where the usual requirement that an exact line search be performed at each iteration is relaxed. The objective function is assumed to have continuous second derivatives and the eigenvalues of the Hessian are assumed to be bounded above and below by positive constants. It is further assumed that a Lipschitz condition on the second derivatives is satisfied at the location of the minimum. A class of descent methods is described which exhibitn-step quadratic convergence when restarted even though errors are permitted in the line search. It is then shown that two conjugate gradient methods belong to this class.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper two algorithms, of the feasible-directions and dual feasible-directions type, are presented for optimization problems with equality and inequality constraints. An associated problem, having only inequality constraints, is defined, and shown to be equivalent to the original problem if a certain parameter is sufficiently large. The algorithms solve the associated problem, but incorporate a method for automatically increasing this parameter in order to ensure global convergence to a solution to the original problem. Any feasible directions algorithm can be similarly modified to enable it to handle equality constraints.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper sufficient conditions for local and superlinear convergence to a Kuhn—Tucker point are established for a class of algorithms which may be broadly defined and comprise a quadratic programming algorithm for repeated solution of a subproblem and a variable metric update to develop the Hessian in the subproblem. In particular the DFP update and an update attributed to Powell are shown to provide a superlinear convergent subclass of algorithms provided a start is made sufficiently close to the solution and the initial Hessian in the subproblem is sufficiently close to the Hessian of the Lagrangian at this point.

    Notes: Abstract InR 1, if a continuous function has opposite signs at the endpoints of an interval, then the function has a zero in the interval. If the function has a nonvanishing derivative at a zero, then there is an interval such that the function has opposite signs at the endpoints. In this paper each of these results is extended toR n .

    Notes: Abstract An axiomatic theory of linear operators can be constructed for abstract spaces defined over (R, ⊕, ⊗), that is over the (extended) real numbersR with the binary operationsx ⊕ y = max (x,y) andx ⊗ y = x + y. Many of the features of conventional linear operator theory can be reproduced in this theory, although the proof techniques are quite different. Specialisation of the theory to spaces ofn-tuples provides techniques for analysing a number of well-known operational research problems, whilst specialisation to function spaces provides a natural formal framework for certain familiar problems of approximation, optimisation and duality.

    Notes: Abstract This paper attempts to provide a set of standard test examples for researchers working in the area of geometric programming and general nonlinear, continuous, nonconvex programming algorithms. The examples consist partly of applications of nonlinear programming that have appeared in the literature and partly of original geometric programming applications. Solutions to all the problems are provided as well as the starting points from which these solutions were computed. Other computationally important aspects such as tolerances and degree of accuracy with which these problems were solved, are also included.

    Notes: Abstract We analyze a mathematical programming model of a fractional flow process which consists ofn sectors and all possible time-dependent streams of flow between, into and out of the sectors. Assuming specific constraints on flow, least cost policies are determined for control of the system transactions involved over a given finite time horizon and over an infinite horizon. Several applications of the model are presented and discussed.

    Notes: Abstract A terminating algorithm is developed for the problem of finding the point of smallest Euclidean norm in the convex hull of a given finite point set in Euclideann-space, or equivalently for finding an “optimal” hyperplane separating a given point from a given finite point set. Its efficiency and accuracy are investigated, and its extension to the separation of two sets and other convex programming problems described.

    Notes: Abstract Network flow techniques are used to show that a conjecture of Fulkerson on the blocking polyhedron associated with the intersection of two matroids is true for transversal matroids. This leads to some general integral packing results for partial transversals, bipartite edge matchings, and subpermutation matrices. A computational example for bipartite edge matchings is included.

    Notes: Abstract A branch and bound algorithm is presented for the problem of schedulingn jobs on a single machine to minimize tardiness. The algorithm uses a dual problem to obtain a good feasible solution and an extremely sharp lower bound on the optimal objective value. To derive the dual problem we regard the single machine as imposing a constraint for each time period. A dual variable is associated with each of these constraints and used to form a Lagrangian problem in which the dualized constraints appear in the objective function. A lower bound is obtained by solving the Lagrangian problem with fixed multiplier values. The major theoretical result of the paper is an algorithm which solves the Lagrangian problem in a number of steps proportional to the product ofn 2 and the average job processing time. The search for multiplier values which maximize the lower bound leads to the formulation and optimization of the dual problem. The bounds obtained are so sharp that very little enumeration or computer time is required to solve even large problems. Computational experience with 20-, 30-, and 50-job problems is presented.

    Notes: Abstract Branch and bound approaches for nonconvex programming problems had been given in [1] and [4]. Crucial for both are the use of rectangular partitions, convex envelopes and separable nonconvex portions of the objective function and constraints. We want to propose a similar algorithm which solves a sequence of problems in each of which the objective function is convex or even linear. The main difference between this approach and previous approaches is the use of general compact partitions instead of rectangular ones and a different refining rule such that the algorithm does not rely on the concept of convex envelopes and handles non-separable functions. First we describe a general algorithm and prove a convergence theorem under suitable regularity assumptions. Then we give as example an algorithm for concave minimization problems.

    Notes: Abstract Variable Metric Methods are “Newton—Raphson-like” algorithms for unconstrained minimization in which the inverse Hessian is replaced by an approximation, inferred from previous gradients and updated at each iteration. During the past decade various approaches have been used to derive general classes of such algorithms having the common properties of being Conjugate Directions methods and having “quadratic termination”. Observed differences in actual performance of such methods motivated recent attempts to identify variable metric algorithms having additional properties that may be significant in practical situations (e.g. nonquadratic functions, inaccurate linesearch, etc.). The SSVM algorithms, introduced by this first author, are such methods that among their other properties, they automatically compensate for poor scaling of the objective function. This paper presents some new theoretical results identifying a subclass of SSVM algorithms that have the additional property of minimizing a sharp bound on the condition number of the inverse Hessian approximation at each iteration. Reducing this condition number is important for decreasing the roundoff error. The theoretical properties of this subclass are explored and two of its special cases are tested numerically in comparison with other SSVM algorithms.

    Notes: Abstract This paper addresses itself to a special class of nonconvex quadratic program referred to as a bilinear program in the literature. We will propose here a cutting plane algorithm to solve this class of problems. The algorithm is along the lines of H. Tui and K. Ritter, but it differs in its exploitation of the special structure of the problem. Though the algorithm is not guaranteed at this stage of the research to converge to a global optimum, the preliminary results of numerical experiments are encouraging.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Vermutung von Ehle [5], daß gewisse Klassen von Runge-Kutta-Methoden A-stabil sind, wird bewiesen. Danach werden implizite RK-Methoden mit mehrfachen Knoten („multiderivative methods” [7]) betrachtet, die den Vorteil haben, daß für höhere Ordnung das zu lösende implizite System von wesentlich geringerer Dimension ist. Es wird gezeigt, daß diese Methoden, falls sie auf Gaußscher (Turanscher) Quadratur beruhen, nur A(α)-stabil (α〈π/2) sind. Daher werden anschließend Methoden bestimmt, die auf Lobatto-Quadratur (mit mehrfachen Knoten) basieren und die sich als A-stabil erweisen; ihre Koeffizienten werden angegeben (bis zur Ordnung 22).
    Notes: Abstract This paper gives the proofs of the conjectures of Ehle [5] concerning the A-stability of classes of implicit Runge-Kutta methods. Next the attention is turned to implicit RK methods with multiple nodes (“multiderivative methods” [7]), which have the advantage that, for higher orders, the implicit system to be solved has much lower dimension. These methods, if based on Gaussian (Turan) quadrature, are shown to be A(α)-stable (α〈π/2) only. Thus, in this paper, methods based on Lobatto quadrature (with multiple nodes) are constructed, which turn out to be A-stable. The coefficients are tabulated up to order 22.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Es wird eine handliche Methode zur Lösung singulärer Randwertprobleme gewöhnlicher Differentialgleichungen behandelt. Taylorreihenentwicklungen des Systems in einem kleinen Intervall blenden die Singularität aus, so daß die Aufgabe mit der Mehrzielmethode gelöst werden kann. Die Zuverlässigkeit dieses Verfahrens wird bei der Lösung der Ginzburg-Landau-Gleichungen der Supraleitung nachgewiesen.
    Notes: Abstract A useful method for the numerical solution of singular two-point boundary value problems by multiple shooting techniques is treated. In a small interval Taylor series expansions are used in orderto kill the numerical singularity. The reliability of the method is demonstrated by solving the Ginzburg-Landau equations arising in the theory of superconductivity.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract Continuous dynamical systems which are subject to random disturbances can often be represented by stochastic differential equations of the Itô-type. We discuss methods how to approximate the solution of such equations on digital and hybrid computers. The digital methods are stochastic versions of some simple deterministic methods. We give convergence theorems which show that stochastic methods differ in principle from their corresponding deterministic methods.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Kontinuierliche dynamische Systeme, die zufälligen Störungen unterworfen werden, lassen sich oft als stochastische Differentialgleichungen vom Itô-Typ darstellen. Wir untersuchen Methoden, durch die die Lösung solcher Gleichungen auf Digital- und Hybridrechnern angenähert werden kann. Die digitalen Verfahren sind stochastische Versionen von einfachen deterministischen Verfahren. Konvergenzsätze zeigen, daß sich stochastische Verfahren prinzipiell von den entsprechenden deterministischen unterscheiden.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The following algorithm for finding thek-shortest loopless paths from one node to another is a development of the algorithm published in [2]. Though memory need is less, the new algorithm is running is bout 20 times as fast on large networks (1000 nodes and more). The computer time increases linearly withk and about quadratic with the number of nodes on the generated paths.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Der in der vorliegenden Arbeit vorgestellte Algorithmus zur Ermittlung vonk-kürzesten schleifenfreien Kantenfolgen von einem Anfangsknoten zu einem Endknoten stellt eine Weiterentwicklung des in [2] beschriebenen Verfahrens dar. Bei deutlich geringerem Speicherplatzbedarf konnte die Rechengeschwindigkeit stark gesteigert werden (bei Graphen von 1000 Knoten ungefähr um das 20fache). Die Rechenzeit wächst linear mitk und in etwa quadratisch mit der Knotenzahl der erzeugten Wege.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Roemer, ein Mitarbeiter von Roschach, entwickelte eine „Symboltestserie”, die als eine der projektiven Methoden bei psycho-diagnostischen Tests verwendet wird. (Fragen nach der Verläßlichkeit solcher Methoden stehen hier nicht zur Debatte.) Ein in der Entwicklung stehendes, lernendes Programm wird beschrieben, das Versuchspersonen auf Grund ihres verbalen Verhaltens klassifizieren könnte. Wird das vom Computer gelieferte Persönlichkeitsprofil mit der Diagnose des Psychologen, die als „objektive Wahrheit” angenommen wird, verglichen, so läßt sich seine Qualität laufend verbessern.
    Notes: Abstract Roemer, a collaborator of Rorschach's, devised a “symbol test series” that is used as one of the projective methods of psychodiagnostic testing. We refrain from getting involved in the controversy related to the reliability of such technique. A learning program under development is described that would be able to classify the subjects on the basis of their verbal behavior. By comparing the diagnosis of the psychologist, accepted as “objective truth”, with the profile provided by the computer, the quality of the latter can be made to improve continuously.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The input/output components in contemporary operating systems are frequently “grown” parts which have individually and specifiquely been designed and amended in the course of new technical developments. However, a rigid analysis reveals the possibility for a unique control system which is mainly built upon the means for interprocess communication. The system is easily continuated into the technical elements. Also, inhomogeneities within the peripheral attachment scheme as well as unconventional service strategies are smoothly incorporated.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In heutigen realen Betriebssystemen sind die Ein/Ausgabekomponenten häufig „gewachsene” Teile, die im Zuge neuer technischer Ausbauten individuell und spezifisch entworfen und aufgenommen wurden. Bei genauer Analyse ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, ein einheitliches Steuerungssystem zu entwerfen, das im wesentlichen auf die Interprozeßkommunikationsmittel zurückgreift. Dieses System setzt sich zwanglos in die technischen Elemente hinein fort. Es zeigt sich, daß auch Inhomogenitäten im Anschlußschema und besondere Abfertigungsstrategien leicht zu berücksichtigen sind.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract To find an initial basic feasible solution is a special problem on solving the three dimensional transportation problem. It is not possible to do this work in a similar simple way as it can be done in the usual transportation problem. In [3] Haley proposes to solve a new problem that is essentionally the old one with the addition of a set of artificial variables. However, numerical investigations have shown that this procedure enlarges the amount of computing very much. This paper now gives another procedure for finding an initial basic solution for the three dimensional transportation problem. A great number of examples is discussed which demonstrate the efficiency of this procedure.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Bei der Lösung eines dreidimensionalen Transportproblems bereitet die Ermittlung einer ersten zulässigen Basislösung Schwierigkeiten, da man nicht mehr so einfach vorgehen kann wie beim gewöhnlichen Transportproblem. In [3] schlägt Haley vor, hierfür ein geeignetes Hilfsproblem zu lösen, das ebenfalls die Form eines dreidimensionalen Transportproblems hat. Nuemrische Untersuchungen haben aber gezeigt, daß dieses Vorgehen einen hohen Rechenaufwand erfordert. In dieser Arbeit wird deshalb eine Alternative zur Ermittlung einer ersten zulässigen Basislösung beim dreidimensionalen Transportproblem angegeben und anhand zahlreicher durchgerechneter Beispiele die größere Effizienz dieses Verfahrens aufgezeigt.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Diese Arbeit beschreibt eine Methode zur Erzeugung von Poissonverteilten Zufallszahlen mit einem Computer, die schneller zu sein scheint als eine in [1] angegebene Methode. Die empfohlene Methode beruht für nichtganzzahlige μ〈7 auf einem konventionellen Suchalgorithmus nach Verwendung der Umkehrtransformation, für ganzzahlige μ auf einer Modifikation davon, wobei die Suche beim Modus beginnt und auf einer Kombination dieser beiden Methoden für nichtganzzahlige μ〉7. Für große μ ist die Rechenzeit proportional zu $$\sqrt \mu $$ . In der Arbeit wird auch gezeigt, daß für μ≥15 bei Verwendung von max (0, [μ + $$Y\sqrt \mu $$ + 0.5]), wobeiY nachN(0, 1) verteilt ist, derselbe Fehler auftritt. Da die Rechenzeit fürY eine Konstante ist, liefert diese Methode eine obere Schranke für die Rechenzeit zur Erzeugung nach Poisson verteilter Zufallszahlen.
    Notes: Abstract This paper describes a method of sampling from the Poisson distribution on a computer that appears to be less costly than a recently suggested method in [1]. The proposed method relies on a conventional search using the inverse transform approach for nonintegral μ〈7, on a modification of the inverse transform approach that begins the search at the mode for integral μ, and on a combination of these two approaches for nonintegral μ〉7. For large μ the sampling cost is proportional to μ1/2. The paper also shows that for μ≥15 an incidental error occurs by using max (0, [μ+Yμ1/2+0.5]) whereY is fromN(0,1). Since the sampling cost ofY is a constant, this approach places an upper bound on the cost of generating a Poisson variate.

    Notes: Abstract It has been conjectured that the conjugate gradient method for minimizing functions of several variables has a superlinear rate of convergence, but Crowder and Wolfe show by example that the conjecture is false. Now the stronger result is given that, if the objective function is a convex quadratic and if the initial search direction is an arbitrary downhill direction, then either termination occurs or the rate of convergence is only linear, the second possibility being more usual. Relations between the starting point and the initial search direction that are necessary and sufficient for termination in the quadratic case are studied.

    Notes: Abstract Simple combinatorial modifications are given which ensure finiteness in the primal simplex method for the transshipment problem and the upper-bounded primal simplex method for the minimum cost flow problem. The modifications involve keeping “strongly feasible” bases. An efficient algorithm is given for converting any feasible basis into a strongly feasible basis. Strong feasibility is preserved by a rule for choosing the leaving basic variable at each simplex iteration. The method presented is closely related to a new perturbation technique and to previously known degeneracy modifications for shortest path problems and maximum flow problems.

    Notes: Abstract Suppose that a large-scale block-diagonal linear programming problem has been solved by the Dantzig—Wolfe decomposition algorithm and that an optimal solution has been attained. Suppose further that it is desired to perform a post-optimality analysis or a complete parametric analysis on the cost-coefficients or the RHS of the linking constraints. Efficient techniques for performing these analyses for the ordinary simplex case have not been easily applied to this case as one operation involves doing a minimizing ratio between all columns of two rows of the tableau. As the columns are not readily known in Dantzig—Wolfe decomposition, other techniques must be used. To date, suggested methods involve solving small linear programs to find these minimizing ratios. In this paper a method is presented which requires solving no linear programs (except possibly in the case of degeneracy of a subproblem) using and utilizing only the information typically stored for Dantzig—Wolfe decomposition.

    Notes: Abstract Given ann × n matrixA and ann-dimensional vectorq letN(A, q) be the cardinality of the set of solutions to the linear complementarity problem defined byA andq. It is shown that ifA is nondegenerate thenN(A, q) + N(A, −q) ⩽ 2 n , which in turn impliesN(A, q) ⩽ 2 n − 1 ifA is also aQ-matrix. It is then demonstrated that min q≠0 N(A, q) ⩽ 2 n−1 − 1, which concludes that the complementary cones cannot spanR n more than 2 n−1 − 1 times around. For anyn, an example of ann × n nondegenerateQ-matrix spanning allR n , but a subset of empty interior, 2[n/3] times around is given.

    Notes: Abstract In this paper we establish a theoretical basis for utilizing a penalty-function method to estimate sensitivity information (i.e., the partial derivatives) of a localsolution and its associated Lagrange multipliers of a large class of nonlinear programming problems with respect to a general parametric variation in the problem functions. The local solution is assumed to satisfy the second order sufficient conditions for a strict minimum. Although theoretically valid for higher order derivatives, the analysis concentrates on the estimation of the first order (first partial derivative) sensitivity information, which can be explicitly expressed in terms of the problem functions. For greater clarity, the results are given in terms of the mixed logarithmic-barrier quadratic-loss function. However, the approach is clearly applicable toany algorithm that generates a once differentiable “solution trajectory”.

    Description / Table of Contents: Abstract The current most economical solution to network problems is via Monte Carlo simulation. One of the main problems when using a computer is to answer the question of the storage space required. This depends roughly on the number of paths in the network. Here an algorithm will be presented to compute in a simple manner the number of paths in a network by constructing a sequence of special graphs.

    Notes: Abstract It has been shown that two-person zero-sum separable games are associated with a maximization problem involving the cones and dual cones of the generalized moments of the players' mixed strategy sets. In this note it is observed that those results extend almost immediately to two-person nonzero-sum separable games, but that then-person extension does not follow except in a special case.

    Notes: Abstract It is shown that the linear complementarity problem of finding az inR n such thatMz + q ⩾ 0, z ⩾ 0 andz T (Mz + q) = 0 can be solved by a single linear program in some important special cases including those whenM or its inverse is a Z-matrix, that is a real square matrix with nonpositive off-diagonal elements. As a consequence certain problems in mechanics, certain problems of finding the least element of a polyhedral set and certain quadratic programming problems, can each be solved by a single linear program.

SetsX,X′ are astrong serial B-exchange if there is a bijectionf: X → X′, where for any ordering of the elements ofX, sayx i ,i = 1, ⋯, m, bases are formed by the sets B0 = B, Bi = (Bi−1 − xi) ⋃f(x i), fori = 1, ⋯, m. Any symmetric exchangeX,X′ can be decomposed by partitioning X = ⋃ i=1 m Yi, X′ = ⋃ i=1 m Yi, X′, where (1) bases are formed by the setsB 0 =B, B i = (B i−1 −Y i )⋃ Y i ′ ; (2) setsY i ,Y i ′ are a strong serialB i−1 -exchange; (3) properties analogous to (1) and (2) hold for baseB′ and setsY i ′ ,Y i .

    Notes: Abstract A unifying concept for large-scale linear programming is developed. This approach, calledfactorization, allows one to isolate the effect of different types of constraints and variables in the algebraic representation of the tableau. Two different factorizations based on a double representation of the tableau are developed. These factorizations are applied to obtain the essential structure of efficient algorithms for generalized upper bounding, coupled block-diagonal problems, set partitioning LPs, minimum cost network flows, and other classes of problems.

    Notes: Abstract This paper addresses itself to the maximization of a convex quadratic function subject to linear constraints. We first prove the equivalence of this problem to the associated bilinear program. Next we apply the theory of bilinear programming developed in [9] to compute a local maximum and to generate a cutting plane which eliminates a region containing that local maximum. Then we develop an iterative procedure to improve a given cut by exploiting the symmetric structure of the bilinear program. This procedure either generates a point which is strictly better than the best local maximum found, or generates a cut which is deeper (usually much deeper) than Tui's cut. Finally the results of numerical experiments on small problems are reported.

    Notes: Abstract This paper presents some theoretical results concerning the effectiveness of an approximate technique, known as local optimization, as applied to a wide class of problems. First, conditions are described under which the technique ensures exact solutions. Then, in regard to cases in which these conditions cannot be met in practice, a method is presented for estimating the probability that the approximate (locally optimal) solution delivered by such a technique is in fact the exact (globally optimal) solution. This probability may be viewed as a possible criterion of effectiveness in the design of neighborhoods for specific local optimization algorithms.

    Notes: Abstract Among the most commonly occurring mixed-integer problems in operations research are linear programs with fixed charge objective functions. In this paper special structures of the equivalent form of such problems obtained from optimal solutions to their continuous relaxations are characterized and exploited in a series of penalty procedures for branch-and-bound type algorithms. The selection, construction, and solution of such penalty problems are discussed, and computational experience with the procedures is presented.

    Notes: Abstract The task of finding global optima to general classes of nonconvex optimization problem is attracting increasing attention. McCormick [4] points out that many such problems can conveniently be expressed in separable form, when they can be tackled by the special methods of Falk and Soland [2] or Soland [6], or by Special Ordered Sets. Special Ordered Sets, introduced by Beale and Tomlin [1], have lived up to their early promise of being useful for a wide range of practical problems. Forrest, Hirst and Tomlin [3] show how they have benefitted from the vast improvements in branch and bound integer programming capabilities over the last few years, as a result of being incorporated in a general mathematical programming system. Nevertheless, Special Ordered Sets in their original form require that any continuous functions arising in the problem be approximated by piecewise linear functions at the start of the analysis. The motivation for the new work described in this paper is the relaxation of this requirement by allowing automatic interpolation of additional relevant points in the course of the analysis. This is similar to an interpolation scheme as used in separable programming, but its incorporation in a branch and bound method for global optimization is not entirely straightforward. Two by-products of the work are of interest. One is an improved branching strategy for general special-ordered-set problems. The other is a method for finding a global minimum of a function of a scalar variable in a finite interval, assuming that one can calculate function values and first derivatives, and also bounds on the second derivatives within any subinterval. The paper describes these methods, their implementation in the UMPIRE system, and preliminary computational experience.

    Notes: Abstract This paper considers an election between candidatesA andB in which (1) voters may be uncertain about which candidate they will vote for, and (2) the winner is to be determined by a lottery betweenA andB that is based on their vote totals. This lottery is required to treat voters equally, to treat candidates equally, and to respond nonnegatively to increased support for a candidate. The setΛ n of all such lottery rules based on a total ofn voters is the convex hull of aboutn/2 ‘basic’ lottery rules which include the simple majority rule. For odd values ofn ≥ 3 let $$\mu (n) = \tfrac{1}{2} + (n - 1)/[2n(n + 3)]$$ , and for even values ofn ≥ 4 let $$\mu (n) = \tfrac{1}{2} + [(n + 2)(2n(n + 2))^{{1 \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {1 2}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} 2}} - n(n + 6)]/[n(n - 2)(n + 4)]$$ . With $$\bar p$$ the average of then voters probabilities of voting forA, it is shown that withinΛ n the simple majority rule maximizes candidateA's overall win probability whenever $$\bar p \geqslant \mu (n)$$ , and thatμ(n) is the smallest number for which this is true. Similarly, the simple majority rule maximizesB's overall win probability whenever $$1 - \bar p$$ (the average of the voters probabilities of voting forB) is as large asμ(n).

    Notes: Abstract Results are presented of surface roughness measurements obtained by applying Beckmann's theory on the scattering of electromagnetic waves from rough surfaces to the scattering of laser light from ground glass surfaces. Measurements of the variance of surface height obtained in several scattering geometries and also from stylus measurements are presented and shown to agree closely for each surface. Also results are presented which show that the usual assumption of a Gaussian form for the autocorrelation function of surface height does not apply to the surfaces being studied here.

    Notes: Abstract A theory of film nonlinearities relating to amplitude holograms and bleached phase holograms is developed which is adapted to the problem of the holographic storage of digital data. The amplitude transmittance characteristics are for this purpose expanded in power series. The odd higher-order terms of the expansion yield expressions defining ghost spots that impair image quality.

    Notes: Abstract Solutions to charge transport equations are used to illustrate the variation of the active region refractive index of the double-heterostructure GaAs laser. It is shown that a marked asymmetry can arise in the refractive index. In this paper, a suitable waveguide theory is developed to take account of this effect. The necessity for such a waveguide theory is demonstrated by comparing threshold current densities and far-field patterns calculated with this model to those calculated using a simpler waveguide model.

In this approach the nonlinearity of the medium and the angles between the rays and the general orientation of the wave's beam are not assumed to be small. The exact analytical solutions of the equations of this generalized nonlinear geometrical optics are constructed. These solutions show the possibility of a peculiar mechanism of space stratification of the field.

    Notes: Abstract Self-consistent calculations of the electrical and optical properties of the double-heterostructure laser have been made. Theoretical studies of both aspects of the device performance have been utilized in this work which describes the behaviour of the laser both below and at threshold. The interdependence of the electrical and optical properties of the device has been established and incorporated into a self-consistency scheme. A computer program has been developed to perform the calculations given the specification of device parameters. Within the program the transport equations are solved, the active region refractive index calculated and then used in the waveguide theory. From the solution to the waveguide equations a lasing frequency and threshold current for the specified cavity mode are obtained. A consistency criterion is applied between the transport and waveguide parts of the theory. The program allows the performance of the laser to be monitored providing such information asI–V characteristics, near and far field patterns for various cavity modes with their threshold currents and lasing frequencies.

    Notes: Abstract A very powerful, fixed zenith laser radar system, based upon a liquid dye laser, is described in detail. The laser is a linear flashlamp pumped dye system capable of an average power output of 6W at a prf of 3 s−1 using rhodamine 6G dye and about 3W with the same prf using esculin monohydrate dye. The use of this laser as a transmitting source in the lidar system has permitted the detection of Stokes shifted vibration/rotation Raman back-scattered light from neutral nitrogen in the stratosphere and from these measurements, stratospheric temperature profiles have been derived. The lidar has also been used to study elastic backscattering from the stratosphere at two wavelengths and preliminary results of a new technique for studying stratospheric aerosol are presented.
