With the decomposition theorem of polyhedral sets, the structure of optimal solution set for the programming problem is depicted. Based on a simplified version of the convex simplex method, the uniqueness condition of optimal solution and the computational procedures to determine all optimal solutions are given, if the uniqueness condition is not satisfied. An illustrative example is also presented.展开更多

In the beginning the natural and cultural diversity of the Greek landscape as well as its conservation needs are discussed. The landscape impact assessment methodology consists of the identification of environmental goals, of sensitive landscape parameters, of environmental indicators and of acceptable impact thresholds. The selection of alternative solutions as well as of mitigation measures has been studied, on the basis of relevant environmental indicators. The developed methodology may constitute a tool for the environmental management of other road programs of great scale.展开更多
