Multistage stochastic programming deals with operational and planning problems that involve a sequence of decisions over time while responding to an uncertain future. Algorithms designed address multistage linear (MSLP) often rely upon scenario trees represent the underlying process. When this process exhibits stagewise independence, sampling-based techniques, particularly dual dynamic algorith...

classical deterministic inventory models consider the demand rate to be either constant or time-dependent but independent from the stock status. however, for a certain type of inventory, the demand rate may be in-fluenced by the stock level. also in many real-life problems, some products such as fruits, vegetables, phar-maceuticals and volatile liquids continuously deteriorate to evaporation, o...

in this paper, the researchers present a multi-objective linear fractional inventory model using fuzzy pro-gramming. the proposed method in this paper is applied to a problem with two objective functions. the re-sulted fuzzy model is transformed into an ordinary linear programming. the implementation of the develop-ing model presented in this paper is demonstrated through the use of some numeri...

in any supply chain, distribution planning of products is of great importance to managers. with effective and flexible distribution planning, mangers can increase the efficiency of time, place, and delivery utility of whole supply chain. in this paper, inventory routing problem (irp) is applied to distribution planning of perishable products in a supply chain. the studied supply chain is compos...

In this paper, we considered a Stochastic Interval-Valued Linear Fractional Programming problem(SIVLFP). In this problem, the coefficients and scalars in the objective function are fractional-interval, and technological coefficients and the quantities on the right side of the constraints were random variables with the specific distribution. Here we changed a Stochastic Interval-Valued Fractiona...

In this paper, we present the agent programming language POGTGolog, which is a combination of explicit agent programming in Golog with game-theoretic multi-agent planning in a special kind of partially observable stochastic games (POSGs). It is a generalization of the agent programming language GTGolog by partial observability. The approach allows for partially specifying a high-level control p...

In this paper, the problem under consideration is multiobjective non-linear fractional programming problem involving semilocally convex and related functions. We have discussed the interrelation between the solution sets involving properly efficient solutions of multiobjective fractional programming and corresponding scalar fractional programming problem. Necessary and sufficient optimality...

decentralization allows channel members to make their decisions, independently. in this decentralized channels, members may have different power to make its decisions. hence, decisions of each member may influence on the other members’ decisions. to model such situations, bi-level programming models are useful. in this study, a supply chain including one manufacturer and multiple competitive re...
