A new guideline for proper allocation of multipoles in the multiple multipole method (MMP) is proposed. In an ‘a posteriori’ approach, subspace fitting (SSF) is used to find the best location of multipole expansions for the two dimensional dielectric scattering problem. It is shown that the best location of multipole expansions (regarding their global approximating power) coincides with the med...

In this paper, a closed-loop location-inventory problem for spare parts is presented. The proposed supply chain network includes two echelons, namely (1) distribution centers (DCs) and repairing centers (RCs) and (2) operational bases. Multiple spare parts are distributed among operational bases from distribution centers in the forward supply chain and failed spare parts from operational bases ...

This paper deals with an approximate approach to the p-median problem. Large instances of the p-median problem can be often met when a real public service system is designed and the discomfort of its customers is minimized. If a large instance of the p-median problem is described by a location-allocation model, then the size of a model often exceeds the acceptable limit for available optimizati...

in this paper, a location allocation (la) problem in construction and demolition (c&d;) waste management (wm) is studied. a bi-level model for this problem under a fuzzy random environment is presented where the upper level is the governments who sets up the processing centers, and the lower level are the administrators of different construction projects who control c&d; waste and the after tre...

in this study, a cross-docking system is designed at strategic and tactical levels. for making the strategic decisions, a multi-objective nonlinear location allocation model for cross-docks is presented based on a distri-bution location allocation model by andreas klose and andreas drexl. the model is further developed to in-clude the whole supply chain members and the objective functions are w...

The integration of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in the distribution network has plenty of advantages if their allocation and Penetration Level (PL) are done appropriately. Hence, the challenge of finding the best allocation and PL of DERs in large distribution networks is an important but intricate problem. This paper proposes a novel methodology to simultaneously determine the optimal lo...
