For a large class of cost functions, the min max solution has a simple and intuitive structure which we explain.
An asymptotic expansion is derived for a large class of cost functions using small topological perturbation technique.
Otherwise, a cost class of cost is assigned weight using following equation involving a user-provided parameter γ: (11) where is a normalizing constant, s ranges over the costs of all cost classes associated with vertex x, and and are shorthand for the minimum and maximum costs for the computed cost classes of x.
Unlike existing additive manufacturing approaches which require larger and slower print systems and complex thermal management strategies as scale increases, liquid reactive polymers decouple performance and print speed from the scale of the part, enabling a new class of cost-effective, fuel-efficient additive manufacturing.
Our aim and the relevant public health question was not to evaluate whether one specific product costs more than another, but whether healthier foods in a broad class of foods cost more, on average, than less healthy foods in the same broad class.
Formally speaking, the problem belongs to the class of minimum cost network flow problems [10, 11] that are in general intractable (NP-hard) and involve optimal and/or heuristic algorithms and methods characterized by different types of time complexity [12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19].
It was a case of the haves versus the have-nots, Carlo Ancelotti's class of 2014-15 costing an eye-watering £360m.
It seems that the only way Microsoft can hope to get people using its software on this new class of low-cost, ultraportable machines is by going fully open source itself.
Google is not expected to unveil the highly anticipated Chrome OS until the end of the year, and the software is expected to run, at first, only on the class of low-cost PCs called netbooks.
A recent survey suggested that many business customers who use the Royal Mail will not be returning after the strikes by the Communication Workers Union as they are now using a new class of low-cost rivals.
The third class of health-cost proposals, I explained, would push people to use medical savings accounts and hold high-deductible insurance policies: "They'd have more of their own money on the line, and that'd drive them to bargain with you and other surgeons, right?" He gave me a quizzical look.
