This book is the first comprehensive guide to logic-based Benders decomposition (LBBD), a general and versatile method for breaking large, complex optimization problems into components that are small enough for practical solution. The author introduces logic-based Benders decomposition for optimization, which substantially generalizes the classical Benders method. It can reduce solution times by orders of magnitude and allows decomposition to be applied to a much wider variety of optimization problems. On the theoretical side, this book provides a full account of inference duality concepts that underlie LBBD, as well as a description of how LBBD can be combined with stochastic and robust optimization, heuristic methods, and decision diagrams. It also clarifies the connection between LBBD and combinatorial Benders cuts for mixed integer programming. On the practical side, it explains how LBBD has been applied to a rapidly growingvariety of problem domains. After describing basic theory, this book provides a comprehensive review of the rapidly growing literature that describes these applications, in each case explaining how LBBD is adapted to the problem at hand. In doing so this work provides a sourcebook of ideas for applying LBBD to new problems as they arise.

""An Account of the Reunion of the Descendants of Thomas Hooker: Held at Hartford, May 16, 1890, with Other Historical Papers"" is a book written by John Hooker. It documents the reunion of the descendants of Thomas Hooker, a prominent Puritan minister who played a significant role in the founding of the state of Connecticut. The reunion took place in Hartford, Connecticut on May 16, 1890, and the book provides a detailed account of the event. In addition to the reunion, the book also includes other historical papers related to Thomas Hooker and his descendants. The book is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of Connecticut and the role of Thomas Hooker in the state's founding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Bible and Woman Suffrage is a book written by John Hooker in 1870. The book is a detailed analysis of the Bible's stance on women's suffrage and their role in society. Hooker argues that the Bible supports the idea of women's suffrage and that women should have the right to vote and participate in political life.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the Bible's teachings on women's rights. Hooker examines various passages from the Old and New Testaments, as well as other religious texts, to support his argument.Throughout the book, Hooker also addresses common arguments against women's suffrage, such as the idea that women are naturally inferior to men and therefore not suited for political life. He counters these arguments with biblical evidence and argues that women are equal to men in the eyes of God and should therefore be treated as such.Overall, The Bible and Woman Suffrage is a compelling argument for women's suffrage based on religious principles. It provides a valuable historical perspective on the struggle for women's rights and the role of religion in shaping public opinion on this issue.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Just over two thousand years ago, Julius Caesar set into motion events that would culminate in the conquest of the tribes of Gaul. It is to the coins of one of these tribes that this book addresses itself. The Coriosolites inhabited what is now Cotes-d'Armor in Brittany. The tribe has left a large number of coins: more than 20,000 are recorded, and no Celtic tribe is so well represented. Large hoards of these coins have been found in Jersey, Brittany, and Normandy. Foremost among these is the La Marquanderie hoard from Jersey, consisting of over 11,000 coins. The La Marquanderie hoard forms the basis of this book. The further strength of this engagingly-written study is its appeal to a wide range of interests: it is not just a catalogue of coins, but a case study of Celtic religious philosophy and aesthetics, referring to such apparently disparate subjects as poetry, physics, and psychology. (The Appendices show all the flow charts in addition to an Index of Design Elements and a concordance between the author's coin numbers and Rybot's. There is also a Quick Identification Chart with which any Coriosolite coin may be classified in a few minutes.)

The authors present chapters on the use of decision diagrams for combinatorial optimization and constraint programming, with attention to general-purpose solution methods as well as problem-specific techniques.The book will be useful for researchers and practitioners in discrete optimization and constraint programming.

Cultural understanding is indispensable in today's work environment, but few people have the necessary knowledge or training in this area. Working Across Cultures illustrates how to thrive in unfamiliar cultures by understanding and tapping into the stress management mechanism of the people who live there.
