A Metro Freight Plan for Mixed Passenger and Freight Transportation by Yutao Ye, Junhua Guo, Lixin Yan

“…Then, comprehensively considering the constraints of metro train freight capacity, loading and unloading time, and train schedules, a metro freight service model was established, and an efficient and accurate train schedule and freight distribution plan were developed to minimize metro freight costs. Finally, through actual case studies, an improved variable neighborhood search algorithm (VNS) was used to verify the effectiveness of the model, and the sensitivity of different train capacities, train headway, and cargo operation cost to the cost of metro freight was also discussed. …”

The Aronsson Equation, Lyapunov Functions, and Local Lipschitz Regularity of the Minimum Time Function by Pierpaolo Soravia

“…We give a short, general proof that C1-solutions are absolutely minimizing functions. We discuss how C1-supersolutions of (AE) become special Lyapunov functions of symmetric control systems, and allow to find continuous feedbacks driving the system to a target in finite time, except on a singular manifold. …”

Dynamic Multicompartment Refrigerated Vehicle Routing Problem with Multigraph Based on Real-Time Traffic Information by Deng-Kai Hou, Hou-Ming Fan, Ying-Chun Lv, Xiao-Xue Ren

“…Aiming at the dynamic multicompartment refrigerated vehicle routing problem with multigraph based on real-time traffic information, this study, based on the idea of preoptimization followed by real-time adjustment, establishes a two-stage mathematical model with minimizing delivery cost. In the preoptimization phase, this study, based on historical traffic information, designed a hybrid chaotic genetic algorithm with variable neighborhood search (HCGAVNS) to obtain the initial delivery scheme. …”

Aspects of a novel nonlinear electrodynamics in flat spacetime and in a gravity-coupled scenario by Anjan Kar

“…Causality and unitarity conditions for all background electric fields hold, whereas, for magnetic fields, a restricted domain of validity is found. Moreover, a minimal coupling of Einstein’s General Relativity (GR) with this NLE results in solutions of regular black holes or naked singularities, depending on whether the source is a nonlinear magnetic monopole or an electric charge, respectively.…”
