LAB (Linear Alkyl Benzene) isomers were obtained by the alkylation of benzene with 1-
dodecene over FAU, BEA and EMT zeolites in the presence of decane as solvent. The initial …

This chapter explores models and algorithms applied to a class of Stackelberg games on
networks. In these network interdiction games, a network exists over which an operator …

We consider the problem of traffic grooming in WDM path, star, and tree networks. Traffic
grooming is a variant of the well-known logical topology design, and is concerned with the …

An instance of the tollbooth problem consists of an undirected network and a collection of
single-minded customers, each of which is interested in purchasing a fixed path subject to …

The problem of minimizing the number of bidirectional SONET rings required to support a
given traffic demand has been studied by several researchers. Here we study the related …

We develop stochastic integer programming techniques tailored toward solving a
Synchronous Optical Network (SONET) ring design problem with uncertain demands. Our …

In wavelength division multiplexing for unidirectional rings, traffic grooming is used to pack
low rate signals into higher rate streams to share a wavelength. The grooming chosen …

This paper considers two problems that arise in the design of optical telecommunication
networks when a ring-based topology is adopted, namely the SONET Ring Assignment …

SONET/WDM networks using wavelength add-drop multiplexing can be constructed using
certain graph decompositions used to form a grooming, consisting of unions of primitive …

The orientation of physical networks is a prime task in deciphering the signaling-regulatory
circuitry of the cell. One manifestation of this computational task is as a maximum graph …
