Linear bilevel programming is a decision making problem with a two-level decentralized organization. The leader is in the upper level and the follower, in the lower level. This study addresses linear bilevel multi-objective multi-follower programming (LB-MOMFP) problem, a special case of linear bilevel programming problems with one leader and multiple followers where each decision maker has sev...

For an existing IEEE 13-node feeder, Genetic Algorithm (GA) based method is applied to determine the optimal solution to the DOPF problem. An approach to solve optimality problem was proposed, in which a compromise is made on optimality in order to reduce the computational burden. In this paper a 9-bus feeder circuit is developed and performed power flow studies by using MATPOWER 4.1 software. ...

Most existing evolutionary approaches to multiobjective optimization aim at finding an appropriate set of compromise solutions, ideally a subset of the Pareto-optimal set. That means they are solving a set problem where the search space consists of all possible solution sets. Taking this perspective, multiobjective evolutionary algorithms can be regarded as hill-climbers on solution sets: the p...

In a recent book and earlier studies, Donald Saari well clarifies the source of three classical impossibility theorems in social choice and proposes possible escape out of these negative results. The objective of this note is to illustrate the relevance of these explanations in justifying the metric approach to the social compromise with the unanimity criterion.

Optimal renewable energy source (RES) selection needs a strategic decision for reducing environmental pollutions, use of conventional resources, and improving economic development. In the process RESs evaluation, several aspects like environmental, economic, social, technical requirements play an important role. addition, diverse factors affect appropriate RES problem which adheres to uncertain...

This paper proposes a mathematical model to plan the financial strategy of a large company. The model links the philosophy of new behavioural economics with the multiple criteria decision making paradigm. Within this theoretical approach, the proposed model is supported by more realistic behavioral hypotheses. After formulating the initial multiobjective programming model, it has, due to its un...

A two dimensional finite model with inclined crack at different crack angles are being analyzed in mixed mode condition using photo elasticity method for the determination of Stress Intensity Factors. The well-known Sih’s equation and three points deterministic approach is used for the determination of stress intensity factors. The effects of biaxial load factor, crack angle, size factors were ...
