A fuzzy goal programming-based approach is used to solve a proposed multi-objective linear programming model and simultaneously handle two important problems in cellular manufacturing systems, viz. cell formation and layout design. Considerations of intra-cell layout, the intra-cell material handling can be calculated exactly. The advantages of the proposed model are considering machining cos...

Dislocation is one of the major challenges in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) image 15 stitching. In this paper, we propose a new dynamic programming for seamlessly stitching UAV 16 images using optical flow. Our solution consists of two steps: Firstly, an image-matching algorithm 17 is used to correct the images so that they are in the same coordinate system. Secondly, a new 18 dynamic programmi...

We are given a neural spike train with spike times t1, . . . , tn and we want to discover something about the resolution over which these spike times were generated. A heuristic approach is to fix a statistic of the spike train, say f(t1, . . . , tn), and then Monte Carlo jitter each of the spike times by some small random amount, computing the statistic over and over again for each jitter. Pre...

A special class of the knapsack problem is called the separable nonlinear knapsack problem. This problem has received considerable attention recently because of its numerous applications. Dynamic programming is one of the basic approaches for solving this problem. Unfortunately, the size of state-pace will dramatically increase and cause the dimensionality problem. In this paper, an efficient a...

To solve the cruise two-dimensional revenue management problem and develop such an automated system under uncertain environment, a static model which is a stochastic integer programming is firstly constructed to maximize the total expected revenue from all kinds of cruise products. Four methods can be applied to solve the above model, which are chance constrained programming, robust optimizatio...
