The Branch and Bound Algorithm for Solving a Sort of Non-smooth Programming on Simplex∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
An approximation algorithm for solving a sort of non-smooth programming is proposed. In the programming, the objective function is the Hölder function and the feasible region is contained in a simplex (viz. hyper-simplex). To establish the algorithm, the properties of the Hölder function and an approximation of the function by using Bernstein α-polynomial are studied. According to the properties of the approximation polynomial and the algorithm for solving geometric programming, the strategy for branching and bounding and the branch-and-bound algorithm are constructed to solve the programming. The convergence of the algorithm can be guaranteed by the exhaustive of the bisection of the simplex. The feasibility of the algorithm is validated by solving an example.

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...

متن کاملA new approach to fuzzy quantities ordering based on distance method and its applications for solving fuzzy linear programming
Many ranking methods have been proposed so far. However, there is yet no method that can always give a satisfactory solution to every situation; some are counterintuitive, not discriminating; some use only the local information of fuzzy values; some produce different ranking for the same situation. For overcoming the above problems, we propose a new method for ranking fuzzy quantities based on ...
متن کاملChained Vector Simplex
An algorithm for solving linear programming problems whose matrix of coefficients contains a large number of "zero" entries is studied. This algorithm is more useful when it is generated as a sub-program in a real-time program. The singly linked lists for storing only the non-zero entries of the coefficients matrix is used. The modified Revised Simplex Method is also used for solving such probl...
