We study finite partial orders which have a chain such that every element of the order either belongs to this chain or has all its covers in this chain. We show that such orders a...

: A chain or n-link is a sequence of n links whose lengths are fixed and are joined together from their endpoints, free to turn about their endpoints, which act as joints. "Ru...
It is commonly accepted that in concentrated solutions or melts high-molecular weight polymers display randomwalk conformational properties without long-range correlations between...

The problem of partitioning a partially ordered set into a minimum number of chains is a well-known problem. In this paper we study a generalization of this problem, where we not ...
: This paper explores the use of the web to build trust among value web chains. Businesses tend to concentrate on the traditional tangible elements of the supply chain and ignore t...
Abstract This paper is concerned with the coordination of inventory control in threeechelon serial and distribution systems under decentralized control. All installations in these ...
—In distributed real-time embedded systems (DRE), it is common to model an application as a set of task chains. Each chain is activated cyclically and must complete before an end...
In this article we provide a model for the dynamic behavior of media processing chains of tasks communicating via bounded buffers. The aim is to find the overall behavior of a cha...

The problems of uniformly sampling and approximately counting contingency tables have been widely studied, but efficient solutions are only known in special cases. One appealing ap...
In Multi Hop Wireless Networks (MHWNs), nodes act both as end-hosts as well as intermediate routers. When communication occurs, these nodes form chains between different sources a...
