چکیده

In this paper, approximate solutions algorithms for discrete cost multicommodity network optimization problems are presented and compared. Firstly, extensions of classical greedy heuristics, based on link-rerouting and flow-rerouting heuristics, are presented in details. Secondly, a new approximate solution algorithm, which basically consists in a heuristic implementation of the exact Benders-type cutting plane generation method, is proposed. All these algorihms are extensively compared on ramdomly generated graphs up to 50 nodes and 90 links. It clearly appears that this new Benders-type approach is very promising since it produces the best heuristic solutions.

A Fast Strategy to Find Solution for Survivable Multicommodity ‎Network‎

This paper proposes an immediately efficient method, based on Benders Decomposition (BD), for solving the survivable capacitated network design problem. This problem involves selecting a set of arcs for building a survivable network at a minimum cost and within a satisfied flow. The system is subject to failure and capacity restriction. To solve this problem, the BD was initially proposed with ...

A discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm with local search for a production-based two-echelon single-vendor multiple-buyer supply chain

This paper formulates a two-echelon single-producer multi-buyer supply chain model, while a single product is produced and transported to the buyers by the producer. The producer and the buyers apply vendor-managed inventory mode of operation. It is assumed that the producer applies economic production quantity policy, which implies a constant production rate at the producer. The operational pa...

MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY by Separable Concave Optimization Approximately Equals Piecewise - Linear Optimization OR 390 - 12

We study the problem of minimizing a nonnegative separable concave function over a compact feasible set. We approximate this problem to within a factor of 1 + 2 by a piecewise-linear minimization problem over the same feasible set. Our main result is that when the feasible set is a polyhedron, the number of resulting pieces is polynomial in the input size of the polyhedron and linear in 1/2. Fo...

A Novel Method for Designing and Optimization of Networks

In this paper, system planning network is formulated with mixed-integer programming. Two meta-heuristic procedures are considered for this problem. The cost function of this problem consists of the capital investment cost in discrete form, the cost of transmission losses and the power generation costs. The DC load flow equations for the network are embedded in the constraints of the mathematica...
