This paper develops a new invariant of a CW-complex called the m-structure and uses it to perform homotopy-theoretic computations. The m-structure of a space encapsulates the coproduct structure, as well as higher-coproduct structures that determine Steenrod-operations. Given an…
"This book describes in-depth the five main iterative algorithms for solving hard combinatorial optimization problems: Simulated Annealing, Genetic Algorithms, Tabu Search, Simulated Evolution, and Stochastic Evolution. The authors present various iterative techniques and illust…

The 3x+1 problem, or Collatz problem, concerns the following seemingly innocent arithmetic procedure applied to integers: If an integer x is odd then "multiply by three and add one", while if it is even then "divide by two." The 3x+1 problem asks whether, starting from any posit…
"The theory and applications of Iteration Methods is a very fast-developing field of numerical analysis and computer methods. The second edition is completely updated and continues to present the state-of-the-art contemporary theory of iteration methods with practical applicatio…
