An Enhancement of Daskins Algorithm for Solving P -centre Problem
ثبت نشده
چکیده
An Enhancement to the exact algorithm of Daskin (1995) to solve the vertex P center problem is proposed. A simple enhancement which uses tighter initial lower and upper bounds, and a more appropriate binary search method are introduced to reduce the number of subproblems to be solved. These ideas are tested on a well known set of problems from the literature (i.e., TSP-Lib problems) with encouraging results.

Cat swarm optimization for solving the open shop scheduling problem
This paper aims to prove the efficiency of an adapted computationally intelligence-based behavior of cats called the cat swarm optimization algorithm, that solves the open shop scheduling problem, classified as NP-hard which its importance appears in several industrial and manufacturing applications. The cat swarm optimization algorithm was applied to solve some benchmark instances from the lit...
متن کاملAn Iterated Greedy Algorithm for Solving the Blocking Flow Shop Scheduling Problem with Total Flow Time Criteria
In this paper, we propose an iterated greedy algorithm for solving the blocking flow shop scheduling problem with total flow time minimization objective. The steps of this algorithm are designed very efficient. For generating an initial solution, we develop an efficient constructive heuristic by modifying the best known NEH algorithm. Effectiveness of the proposed iterated greedy algorithm is t...
متن کاملAn Algorithm Based on Theory of Constraints and Branch and Bound for Solving Integrated Product-Mix-Outsourcing Problem
One of the most important decision making problems in many production systems is identification and determination of products and their quantities according to available resources. This problem is called product-mix. However, in the real-world situations, for existing constrained resources, many companies try to provide some products from external resources to achieve more profits. In this pape...

The multi-level programming problems are attractive for many researchers because of their application in several areas such as economic, traffic, finance, management, transportation, information technology, engineering and so on. It has been proven that even the general bi-level programming problem is an NP-hard problem, so the multi-level problems are practical and complicated problems therefo...
متن کاملSolving the Traveling Salesman Problem by an Efficient Hybrid Metaheuristic Algorithm
The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is the problem of finding the shortest tour through all the nodes that a salesman has to visit. The TSP is probably the most famous and extensively studied problem in the field of combinatorial optimization. Because this problem is an NP-hard problem, practical large-scale instances cannot be solved by exact algorithms within acceptable computational times. ...
