We examine a version of the Cops and Robber (CR) game in which the robber is invisible, i.e., the cops do not know his location until they capture him. Apparently this game (CiR) h...
Abstract. We study mixed integer nonlinear programs (MINLP)s that are driven by a collection of indicator variables where each indicator variable controls a subset of the decision ...
The paper investigates the question of whether a partially closed database has complete information to answer a query. In practice an enterprise often maintains master data Dm, a ...
