This paper aims to answer an open question recently posed in the literature, that is to find a fast exact method for solving the max-sum diversity problem, a nonconcave quadratic binary maximization problem. We show that, ...

Polypropylene (PP) fibres have primarily used to control shrinkage cracks or mitigate explosive spalling in concrete structures exposed to fire or subjected to impact/blast loads, with limited investigations on capacity ...

Aims: Alcohol pricing policies may reduce alcohol-related harms, yet little work has been done to model their effectiveness beyond health outcomes especially in Australia. We aim to estimate the impacts of four taxation ...

Collaborative procurement forms such as program alliancing can create a burgeoning environment for absorptive capacity to materialize, enabling learning and rework to be mitigated. However, little is known about the ...

This paper studies binary quadratic programs in which the objective is defined by the maximisation of a Euclidean distance matrix, subject to a general polyhedral constraint set. This class of nonconcave maximisation ...
