Issues relating to the environment have received growing attention over the last number of years and are emerging as a top priority for Canadians. The impact on the environment from both natural processes and human activities has manifested in a variety of ecological and health issues with both short and long-term ramifications. One important area of research is the study of animal movement...

A feedback vertex set (FVS) of an undirected or directed graph is a set of vertices that contains at least one vertex of each (directed) cycle of the graph. The feedback vertex set problem consists of constructing a FVS of size less than a certain given value. This combinatorial optimization problem is one of the basic global-constraint optimization problems, and it has many practical...

Periodic boundary conditions are widely used in the simulation of systems with an extremely large number of particles, and the period vectors become a degree of freedom. In this work, dynamical equations for the periods are generated by applying Newtonian Dynamics onto halves of the system while considering constant external stress explicitly. Then statistics over system translations and...
