This article addresses a general tri-objective two-echelon capacitated vehicle routing problem (2E-CVRP) to minimize the total travel cost, customers waiting times and carbon dioxide emissions simultaneously in distributing perishable products. In distributing perishable products, customers’ satisfaction is very important and is inversely proportional to the customers waiting times. The propose...

‎let $g$ be a finite group‎. ‎we say that the derived covering number of $g$ is finite if and only if there exists a positive integer $n$ such that $c^n=g'$ for all non-central conjugacy classes $c$ of $g$‎. ‎in this paper we characterize solvable groups $g$ in which the derived covering number is finite‎.‎

    Dynamic cellular manufacturing systems,   Mixed-integer non-linear programming,   Production planning, Manufacturing attributes   This paper presents a novel mixed-integer non-linear programming model for the design of a dynamic cellular manufacturing system (DCMS) based on production planning (PP) decisions and several manufacturing attributes. Such an integrated DCMS model with an extensi...

We study a problem faced by a major beverage producer. The company produces and distributes several brands to various customers from its regional distributors. For some of these brands, most customers do not have enough demand to justify full pallet shipments. Therefore, the company decided to design a number of mixed or “rainbow” pallets so that its customers can order these unpopular brands w...

The problem of the uplink resource allocation mixed-traffic types in cellular networks is a challenging that has not been addressed sufficiently literature. In this paper, we consider 5G scheduling for Ultra-Reliable and Low Latency Communications enhanced Mobile Broad-Band (eMBB) traffic types. There are three main techniques to be considered, namely, grant-based (GB), semi-persistent, grant-f...

In wireless communication QoS is an important parameter needed to be discussed for research analysis. The previous works faces problem in QoS in ad hoc networks increasingly in throughput analysis. Here we adopted a new approach for energy saving control provisions in ad hoc networks. Here a set of nodes is given in a plane which have end-to-end traffic demands and has delay bound between all n...

We propose a decomposition algorithm for a special class of nonconvex mixed integer nonlinear programming problems which have an assignment constraint. If the assignment decisions are decoupled from the remaining constraints of the optimization problem, we propose to use a column enumeration approach. The master problem is a partitioning problem whose objective function coefficients are compute...
