Solving Hard Control Problems in Voting Systems via Integer Programming
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address various voting systems and types of control of elections and show how hard control problems can be modeled as integer programs. By means of the off-the-shelf solver Cplex we then demonstrate that the approach allows to treat the control of larger elections successfully. As a consequence, the hardness of a certain control problem is not a secure protection for the fraudulent falsification of outcomes of elections using this type of manipulation.

Global optimization of mixed-integer polynomial programming problems: A new method based on Grobner Bases theory
Mixed-integer polynomial programming (MIPP) problems are one class of mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems where objective function and constraints are restricted to the polynomial functions. Although the MINLP problem is NP-hard, in special cases such as MIPP problems, an efficient algorithm can be extended to solve it. In this research, we propose an algorit...
متن کاملA Non-linear Integer Bi-level Programming Model for Competitive Facility Location of Distribution Centers
The facility location problem is a strategic decision-making for a supply chain, which determines the profitability and sustainability of its components. This paper deals with a scenario where two supply chains, consisting of a producer, a number of distribution centers and several retailers provided with similar products, compete to maintain their market shares by opening new distribution cent...
متن کاملA new approach for solving neutrosophic integer programming problems
Linear programming is one of the most important usages of operation research methods in real life, that includes of one objective function and one or several constraints which can be in the form of equality and inequality. Most of the problems in the real world are include of inconsistent and astute uncertainty, because of this reason we can’t obtain the optimal solution easily. In this paper, ...
متن کاملA Combined Stochastic Programming and Robust Optimization Approach for Location-Routing Problem and Solving it via Variable Neighborhood Search algorithm
The location-routing problem is one of the combined problems in the area of supply chain management that simultaneously make decisions related to location of depots and routing of the vehicles. In this paper, the single-depot capacitated location-routing problem under uncertainty is presented. The problem aims to find the optimal location of a single depot and the routing of vehicles to serve th...
متن کاملSolving a generalized aggregate production planning problem by genetic algorithms
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) for solving a generalized model of single-item resource-constrained aggregate production planning (APP) with linear cost functions. APP belongs to a class of pro-duction planning problems in which there is a single production variable representing the total production of all products. We linearize a linear mixed-integer model of APP subject to hiring...
