In large-scale emergency, the vehicle routing problem focuses on finding the best routes for vehicles. The equitable distribution has a vital role in this problem to decrease the number of death and save people's lives. In addition to this, air pollution is a threat to people’s life and it can be considered to omit other kinds of disasters happens because of it. So, a new MINLP model presented ...

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes cause enormous harm during each year. To reduce casualties and economic losses in the response phase, rescue units must be allocated and scheduled efficiently, such that it is a key issues in emergency response. In this paper, a multi-objective mix integer nonlinear programming model (MOMINLP) is proposed to minimize sum of weight...

in this paper, a multi-objective method is used to optimize a heat recovery steam generator (hrsg). two objective functions have been used in the optimization, which are irreversibility and hrsg equivalent volume. the former expresses the exergetic efficiency and the latter demonstrates the cost of the hrsg. decision variables are geometric and operational parameters of the hrsg. the results of...

In this paper, we propose a nonlinear multi-objective optimization problem whose parameters in the objective functions and constraints vary in between some lower and upper bounds. Existence of the efficient solution of this model is studied and gradient based as well as gradient free optimality conditions are derived. The theoretical developments are illustrated through numerical examples.

This paper presents a novel, multi-objective mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for a cell formation problem (CFP) with alternative means. Due to existing contradiction among objectives, three are considered: 1) Minimizing the total cost consisting of; intercellular movements, purchasing, operation, and maintenance; 2) maximizing the utilization of machines in the system; 3) mini...

In this paper, an intelligent controller is applied to control omni-directional robots motion. First, the dynamics of the three wheel robots, as a nonlinear plant with considerable uncertainties, is identified using an efficient algorithm of training, named LoLiMoT. Then, an intelligent controller based on brain emotional learning algorithm is applied to the identified model. This emotional l...

In project management, spending minimum time and cost while achieving maximum quality is of great significance to its success. Consequently, it is vital to find an optimal equilibrium between the three objectives of construction projects. To achieve this goal, this study presents an advanced nonlinear multiobjective model to solve the time-cost-quality trade-off problem. We assume that the qual...

in this paper a non linear integrated fuzzy multi-objective production planning model with the labor learning and machines deterioration effects is presented. the objective function consists of two quantitative objectives namely increase profits and reduces the cost of system failure and a qualitative objective namely increases the satisfaction rate of the customers. different weights for objec...

This paper considers a multi-objective portfolio selection problem imposed by gaining of portfolio, divided yield and risk control in an ambiguous investment environment, in which the return and risk are characterized by probabilistic numbers. Based on the theory of possibility, a new multi-objective portfolio optimization model with gaining of portfolio, divided yield and risk control is propo...
