In this paper, we consider single-machine group scheduling with nonperiodical maintenance and deteriorating effects. Nonperiodical maintenance, which has unfixed maintaining interval or the number of jobs in each is unfixed, results a variable groups. Deteriorating effects lead to longer processing times deterioration index depends on job grouping. This problem significance different production...

Texture image analysis is one of the most important working realms of image processing in medical sciences and industry. Up to present, different approaches have been proposed for segmentation of texture images. In this paper, we offered unsupervised texture image segmentation based on Markov Random Field (MRF) model. First, we used Gabor filter with different parameters’ (frequency, orientatio...

Simulation-based inference for partially observed stochastic dynamic models is currently receiving much attention due to the fact that direct computation of the likelihood is not possible in many practical situations. Iterated filtering methodologies enable maximization of the likelihood function using simulation-based sequential Monte Carlo filters. Doucet et al. (2013) developed an approximat...

This work deals with the parallel machines scheduling problem which consists in the assignment of n jobs on m parallel machines. The most general variant of this problem is when the processing time depends on the machine to which each job is assigned to. This case is known as the unrelated parallel machines problem. Similarly to most of the literature, this paper deals with the minimization of ...
