چکیده

x t s N i x x ABSTRACT In this study, we describe some Network Design Problems (NDPs) as well as the network flowbased improvement algorithm for neighbourhood search defined by cycles. The main part of the study is structured around the formulation of the expected duration of stay in the educational system as a NDP. The fundamental matrix of the absorbing Markov chain is employed in computing the expected duration of each flow in the system. We shall illustrate the new graphtheoretic formulation for the educational system using datasets from a university setting. The paper concludes with suggestions for future directions of research.

Application of SVC on Large Synchronous Motors Based on LOC Design (RESEARCH NOTE)

This paper describes the application of static var compensators, (SVC) on an electrical distribution network containing two large synchronous motors, one of which is excited via a three-phase thyristor bridge rectifier. The second machine is excited via a diode bridge rectifier. Based on linear optimization control (LOC), the measurable feedback signals are applied to the control system loops o...

Reliable hub-and-spoke network design problems under uncertainty through multi-objective programming

HLP (hub location problem) tries to find locations of hub facilities and assignment of nodes to extended facilities. Hubs are facilities to collect, arrange, and distribute commodities in telecommunication networks, cargo delivery systems, etc. Hubs are very crucial and their inaccessibility impresses on network whole levels. In this paper, first, total reliability of the network is defined bas...

An Ant Colony approach to forward-reverse logistics network design under demand certainty

Forward-reverse logistics network has remained a subject of intensive research over the past few years. It is of significant importance to be issued in a supply chain because it affects responsiveness of supply chains. In real world, problems are needed to be formulated. These problems usually involve objectives such as cost, quality, and customers' responsiveness and so on. To this reason, we ...

Aerodynamic Design Optimization Using Genetic Algorithm (RESEARCH NOTE)

An efficient formulation for the robust shape optimization of aerodynamic objects is introduced in this paper. The formulation has three essential features. First, an Euler solver based on a second-order Godunov scheme is used for the flow calculations. Second, a genetic algorithm with binary number encoding is implemented for the optimization procedure. The third ingredient of the procedure is...
