    Minimization of rest mismatches in round robin tournaments
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-11-01) Atan, Sabri Tankut; Çavdaroğlu, Burak
    In sports tournaments, an occurrence of a difference in the rest periods of opponent teams in a game, which we refer to as a rest mismatch, will disadvantage the less rested team. Thus, it is only fair to expect opposing teams to have rested equally before their game. In this work, we introduce and study the Rest Mismatch Problem where the goal is to minimize the number of rest mismatches in a round robin tournament. Two integer linear formulations and a constraint programming formulation are provided, and their computational performances are compared for several problem instances. Moreover, a heuristic algorithm is developed which finds a single round robin schedule with zero mismatches when the number of teams in the tournament is a multiple of 8, and four mismatches when it is a multiple of 4 but not 8.

    On the kinematic of a 3-DOF Stewart platform
    (John Wiley & Sons Inc, 1999-02) Bürüncük, Kadri; Tokad, Yılmaz
    The kinematic behavior of the Stewart platform has been discussed in the literature by many researchers. In the present article, a special form of the Stewart platform, namely, the 3-degrees of freedom platform with triangular shaped base and upper platforms, is considered by thoroughly deriving a new set of constraint equations which makes it possible to discover several new properties of the platform. Both the inverse and direct kinematic problems are discussed and a new approach for solution of the direct kinematic problem is described which gives all the real (physical) solutions.
