  • We consider a time-cost tradeoff problem with multiple milestones under a chain precedence graph. In the problem, some penalty occurs unless a milestone is completed before its appointed date. This can be avoided through compressing the processing time of the jobs with additional costs. We describe the compression cost as the convex or the concave function. The objective is to minimize the sum of the total penalty cost and the total compression cost. It has been known that the problems with the concave and the convex cost functions for the compression are NP-hard and polynomially solvable, respectively. Thus, we consider the special cases such that the cost functions or maximal compression amounts of each job are identical. When the cost functions are convex, we show that the problem with the identical costs functions can be solved in strongly polynomial time. When the cost functions are concave, we show that the problem remains NP-hard even if the cost functions are identical, and develop the strongly polynomial approach for the case with the identical maximal compression amounts.

  • In special effects industry there is a high demand to convincingly mimic the appearance and behavior of natural phenomena such as smoke, waterfall, rain, and fire. Particle systems are methods adequate for modeling fuzzy objects of natural phenomena. This paper presents particle system graphics library for generating special effects in video games and virtual reality applications. The library is a set of functions that allow c++ programs to simulate the dynamics of particles for special effects in interactive and non-interactive graphics applications, not for scientific simulation.

  • In this paper, we investigate a generalized family of complex-valued harmonic functions that are multivalent, sense-preserving, and are associated with k-uniformly harmonic functions in the unit disk. The results obtained here include a number of known and new results as their special cases.

  • In this note, the $q$-extension of the twisted Lerch Euler zeta functions considered by Jang [Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 47 (2010), no. 6, 1181-1188] is further investigated, and the generalized multiplication theorem for the $q$-extension of the twisted Lerch Euler zeta functions is given. As applications, some well-known results in the references are deduced as special cases.

  • This paper is an attempt to stress the usefulness of the multivariable special functions. In this paper, we derive generating relations involving 3-variable 2-parameter Tricomi functions by using Lie-algebraic techniques. Further we derive certain new and known generating relations involving other forms of Tricomi and Bessel functions as applications.

  • In the present investigation, by making use of the familiar concept of neighborhoods of analytic and multivalent functions, we prove several inclusion relations associated with the (n, ${\delta}$)-neighborhoods of certain subclasses of analytic functions of complex order, which are introduced here by means of the Al-Oboudi derivative. Several special cases of the main results are mentioned.

  • In this article, we introduce a new integral operator involving normalized Bessel functions of the first kind and we obtain a set of sufficient conditions for univalence. Our results contain some interesting corollaries as special cases. Further, as particular cases, we improve some of the univalence conditions proved in [2].
