چکیده

An exact Markov chain model of the B-cell algorithm (BCA) is constructed via a novel possible transit method. The model is used to formulate a proof that the BCA is convergent absolute under a very broad set of conditions. Results from a simple numerical example are presented, we use this to demonstrate how the model can be applied to increase understanding of the performance of the BCA in optimizing function landscapes as well as giving insight into the optimal parameter settings for the BCA.

Randomized Algorithm For 3-Set Splitting Problem and it's Markovian Model

In this paper we restrict every set splitting problem to the special case in which every set has just three elements. This restricted version is also NP-complete. Then, we introduce a general conversion from any set splitting problem to 3-set splitting. Then we introduce a randomize algorithm, and we use Markov chain model for run time complexity analysis of this algorithm. In the last section ...

Optimizing location, routing and inventory decisions in an integrated supply chain network under uncertainty

This study extends a mathematical model that integrates the location, allocation, inventory replenishment and routing decisions simultaneously. To cope with inherent uncertainty of parameters, we implement a continuous-time Markov process and derive the performance measures of the system. Using the obtained results, the problem is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programing model (MINLP)...

COMPARISON ABILITY OF GA AND DP METHODS FOR OPTIMIZATION OF RELEASED WATER FROM RESERVOIR DAM BASED ON PRODUCED DIFFERENT SCENARIOS BY MARKOV CHAIN METHOD

Planning for supply water demands (drinkable and irrigation water demands) is a necessary problem. For this purpose, three subjects must be considered (optimization of water supply systems such as volume of reservoir dams, optimization of released water from reservoir and prediction of next droughts). For optimization of volume of reservoir dams, yield model is applied. Reliability of yield mod...

A Multi Objective Fibonacci Search Based Algorithm for Resource Allocation in PERT Networks

The problem we investigate deals with the optimal assignment of resources to the activities of a stochastic project network. We seek to minimize the expected cost of the project include sum of resource utilization costs and lateness costs. We assume that the work content required by the activities follows an exponential distribution. The decision variables of the model are the allocated resourc...

Markov Chain Anticipation for the Online Traveling Salesman Problem by Simulated Annealing Algorithm

The arc costs are assumed to be online parameters of the network and decisions should be made while the costs of arcs are not known. The policies determine the permitted nodes and arcs to traverse and they are generally defined according to the departure nodes of the current policy nodes. In on-line created tours arc costs are not available for decision makers. The on-line traversed nodes are f...

Development of Markov Chain Grey Regression Model to Forecast the Annual Natural Gas Consumption

Accurate forecasting of annual gas consumption of the country plays an important role in energy supply strategies and policy making in this area.  Markov chain grey regression model is considered to be a superior model for analyzing and forecasting annual gas consumption.  This model Markov is a combination of the Markov chain and grey regression models. According to this model, the residual er...
