A mixed 0-1 integer programming model of Combined Location Routing and Inventory Problem (CLRIP) with fuzzy random demand has been proposed in B2C E-commerce distribution environment. Demands of customers and distribution centers have been assumed to be fuzzy random variables.

In this paper we show that the problem of minimizing a nonlinear objective function subject to a system of fuzzy relational equations with max-min composition can be reduced to a 0-1 mixed integer programming problem. The reduction method can be extended to the case of fuzzy relational equations with max-T composition as well as those with more general composition.

In this study, the problem of project selection and scheduling with resource management is considered setup times, dynamic arrivals, priorities relationship between projects. A fuzzy multi-objective mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model proposed for solution problem. The classic two-phase goal (FGP) approach modified to solve MILP model. addressed defined over a construction company. ef...

This paper addresses the globally optimal solution of the network-constrained unit commitment (NCUC) problem incorporating a nonlinear alternating current (AC) model of the transmission network. We formulate the NCUC as a mixed-integer quadratically constrained quadratic programming (MIQCQP) problem. A global optimization algorithm is developed based on a multi-tree approach that iterates betwe...

‎In this paper‎, ‎some KKT type sufficient global optimality conditions‎ ‎for general mixed integer nonlinear programming problems with‎ ‎equality and inequality constraints (MINPP) are established‎. ‎We achieve‎ ‎this by employing a Lagrange function for MINPP‎. ‎In addition‎, ‎verifiable sufficient global optimality conditions for general mixed‎ ‎integer quadratic programming problems are der...

In today’s global marketplace, individual firms do not compete as independent entities rather as an integral part of a supply chain. This paper proposes a fuzzy mathematical programming model for supply chain planning which considers supply, demand and process uncertainties. The model has been formulated as a fuzzy mixed-integer linear programming model where data are ill-known andmodelled by t...

Hubs are facilities to collect arrange and distribute commodities in telecommunication networks, cargo delivery systems, etc. In this paper, an uncapacitated phub center problem in case of single allocation and also multiple allocation will be introduced in which travel times or transportation costs are considered as fuzzy parameters. Then, by proposing new methods, the presented problem is con...

We present methods to synthesize cooperative strategies for multi-vehicle control problems using mixed integer linear programming. Complex multi-vehicle control problems are expressed as mixed logical dynamical systems. Optimal strategies for these systems are then solved for using mixed integer linear programming. We motivate the methods on problems derived from an adversarial game between two...

although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. but, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. this paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. a mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...

We propose a global optimisation approach for the solution of various classes of bilevel programming problems (BLPP) based on recently developed parametric programming algorithms. We first describe how we can recast and solve the inner (follower’s) problem of the bilevel formulation as a multi-parametric programming problem, with parameters being the (unknown) variables of the outer (leader’s) ...
