چکیده

This paper examines the single-commodity stochastic network design problem with multiple sources and sinks. We characterize the structures of the optimal designs and compare with the deterministic counterparts. We do this primarily to understand what constitutes good robust network designs, but hope that the understanding can also be used to develop better heuristic algorithms than those available today.

Efficient Routing from Multiple Sources to Multiple Sinks in Wireless Sensor Networks

Initial deployments of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) were based on a many-to-one communication paradigm, where a single sink collects data from a number of data sources. Recently, however, scenarios with multiple sinks are increasingly being proposed, e.g., to deal with actuator nodes or to support high-level programming abstractions. The resulting many-to-many communication makes the existin...

Identification of Multiple Input-multiple Output Non-linear System Cement Rotary Kiln using Stochastic Gradient-based Rough-neural Network

Because of the existing interactions among the variables of a multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) nonlinear system, its identification is a difficult task, particularly in the presence of uncertainties. Cement rotary kiln (CRK) is a MIMO nonlinear system in the cement factory with a complicated mechanism and uncertain disturbances. The identification of CRK is very important for different pur...

An Inexact-Fuzzy-Stochastic Optimization Model for a Closed Loop Supply Chain Network Design Problem

The development of optimization and mathematical models for closed loop supply chain (CLSC) design has attracted considerable interest over the past decades. However, the uncertainties that are inherent in the network design and the complex interactions among various uncertain parameters are challenging the capabilities of the developed tools. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to propose a n...

Design of Supply Chain Network Model for Perishable Products with Stochastic Demand: An Optimized Model

Supply chain network design in perishable product has become a challenging task due to its short life time, spoilage of product in degradation nature and stochastic market demand. This paper focused on designing and optimizing model for perishable product in stochastic demand, which comprises multiple levels from producer, local collector, wholesaler and retailers. The ultimate goal is to optim...

Single source single-commodity stochastic network design

Stochastics affects the optimal design of a network. This paper examines the single-source single-commodity stochastic network design problem. We characterize the optimal designs under demand uncertainty and compare with the deterministic counterparts to outline the basic structural differences. We do this partly as a basis for developing better algorithms than are available today, partly to si...
