On the complexity of the car sequencing problem
نویسنده
چکیده
In this note we give an easier proof of the known result that the car sequencing problem is NP-hard, and point out that it is NP-hard in the strong sense. We show that a previous claim of NP-completeness is incorrect, and instead we give a sufficient condition of membership of NP. We also provide a pseudo-polynomial algorithm for a special case.

A Single Machine Sequencing Problem with Idle Insert: Simulated Annealing and Branch-and-Bound Methods
In this paper, a single machine sequencing problem is considered in order to find the sequence of jobs minimizing the sum of the maximum earliness and tardiness with idle times (n/1/I/ETmax). Due to the time complexity function, this sequencing problem belongs to a class of NP-hard ones. Thus, a special design of a simulated annealing (SA) method is applied to solve such a hard problem. To co...

متن کاملSolving Path Following Problem for Car-Like Robot in the Presence of Sliding Effect via LMI Formulation
One of the main problems of car-like robot is robust path following in the presence of sliding effect. To tackle this problem, a robust mix H2/H∞ static state feedback control method is selected. This method is the well-known linear robust controller which is robust against external disturbance as well as model uncertainty. In this paper, the path following problem is formulated as linear matri...

There is a significant interaction between sizing a fleet of rail cars and its utilization. This paper presents a new multi-period mathematical model and a solution procedure to optimize the rail-car fleet size and freight car allocation, wherein car demands, and travel times, are assumed to be deterministic, and unmet demands are backordered. This problem is considered NP-complete. In other wo...
