On the weighting of the mean-absolute-deviation cost minimization model. Abstract The mean-absolute-deviation cost minimization model, which aims to minimize sum of the mean value and the absolute deviation (AD) of the total cost multiplied by a given non...

The optimization is one of the challenging problems in power system. The optimization sometimes is mainly restricted to the minimization of the operating cost. However, the operation of power plants, mostly thermal units, results into various types of emissions like SOx, NOx and COx etc. The environmental concern dictates the minimization of the emissions by the thermal plant. Individually, if ...

The multi-agent surveillance problem is to find optimal trajectories of multiple agents that patrol a given area as evenly possible. In this paper, we consider the based on travel cost minimization. by an undirected graph. penalty for each agent introduced evaluate performance. Through mixed logical dynamical system model, multiagent reduced integer linear programming (MILP) problem. model pred...
