a characteristic of data envelopment analysis (dea) is to allow individual decision making units (dmus) to select the factor weights which are the most advantageous for them in calculating their efficiency scores. this flexibility in selecting the weights, on the other hand, deters the comparison among dmus on a common base. for dealing with this difficulty and assessing all the dmus on the sam...

abstract in current study, an irrigation examination and acquisition of environmental water in kor-river fields, that is dominated from doroudzan dam to bakhtegan lake, was done by an integrated economy-environmental model. the model was considered by economic, hydrologic and agronomic components. in the economic component, an optimal harvesting of water was done using non-linear programming in...

In this paper a multilevel programming problem, that is, three level programming problem is considered. It involves three optimization problems where the constraint region of the first level problem is implicitly determined by two other optimization problems. The objective function of the first level is indefinite quadratic, the second one is linear and the third one is linear fractional. The f...

Computing the exact ideal and nadir criterion values is a very ‎important subject in ‎multi-‎objective linear programming (MOLP) ‎problems‎‎. In fact‎, ‎these values define the ideal and nadir points as lower and ‎upper bounds on the nondominated points‎. ‎Whereas determining the ‎ideal point is an easy work‎, ‎because it is equivalent to optimize a ‎convex function (linear function) over a con...

the system analysis plays an important role in natural resources, water resources and industrial engineering. in recent years, most parts of iran like golestan province, due to the lack of integrated river basin management, have been suffered numerous losses in variant environmental, social and economic aspects. in this paper an application of system analysis has been applied to optimal pattern...

With the rapid economic development, the water quality is getting worse in Haraz River Basin and the adjacent areas. To improve the water quality, the total inland pollutant load should be controlled effectively. Therefore, a simulation model for the prediction of the steady-state water quality in terms of BOD, based on Streeter Phelps equation, was developed. The Streeter-Phelps equation gives...

this paper uses the weighted l$_1-$norm to propose an algorithm for finding a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated solutions of multiple objective mixed integer linear programming problem. when all variables are integer it finds the whole set of efficient solutions. in each iteration of the proposed method only a mixed integer linear programming problem is solved and its optimal solutions gen...

In this study, an environmental economic active power dispatch problem is transformed into an optimization problem with a single-objective function by applying the weighted sum method (WSM) and the conic scalarization method (CSM). A pseudo spot price of electricity algorithm (PSPA) is used to solve the transformed problem. This is demonstrated on an example problem, which is a lossy electrical...
