Computer Simulation of Stochastic Wind Velocity Fields for Structural Response Analysis: Comparisons and Applications by Filippo Ubertini, Fabio Giuliano

“…In these cases, approximate formulas must be adopted, which however require an appropriate tuning of some fundamental parameters in such a way to achieve an acceptable level of accuracy if compared to that obtained using the WAWS method. Among the different techniques available for this purpose, autoregressive (AR) filters and algorithms exploiting the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) of the spectral matrix deserve a special attention. …”

A Branch-and-Price-and-Cut Algorithm for the Integrated Scheduling and Rostering Problem of Bus Drivers by Dung-Ying Lin, Chieh-Ju Juan, Ching-Chih Chang

“…Due to the complexity of scheduling and rostering, bus transportation is not an exception and many relevant studies do not consider both procedures simultaneously. However, such a decomposition can yield inferior schedules/rosters. To address this issue, this paper proposes an integrated scheduling and rostering model for bus drivers and devises a branch-and-price-and-cut (BPC) algorithm to solve the complex problem. …”
