Abstract:
The desire to understand and model the complex phenomenon of economic growth has been an old and interesting pursuit. Many such models have been proposed and two of the most prominent canditates are the Solow-Swan and Romer models. This paper investigates the similarities and differences of the a priori mentioned models on a balanced growth path and on a partial transition dynamics - only the capital dynamics - using numerical simulations. Furthermore, the problem of the speed of convergence shall be analyzed and a method for the analysis will be presented. The simulations are investigated by

Abstract:
Simulated annealing (Kirkpatrick et al, 1983) is used to estimate the parameters of a mathematical model that predicts the water yield from a catchment. The calibration problem involves finding the global minimum of a multivariate function that has many extraneous local minima, a situation in which conventional optimisation methods are ineffective. The objective function which quantifies discrepancies between the computed and observed streamflows must be carefully selected to satisfy the least square assumptions. Several published simulated annealing algorithms have been implemented, tested an

Abstract:
Assembly line balancing problem is one of the most studied NP-Hard problems. NP-Hardness leads us to search for a good solution instead of the optimal solution especially for the big-size problems. Meta-heuristic algorithms are the search methods which are developed to find good solutions to the big-size and combinatorial problems. In this study, it is aimed at solving the multi-objective multi-model assembly line balancing problem of a company. A meta-heuristic algorithm is developed to solve the deterministic assembly line balancing problems. The algorithm developed is tested using the test
