In this paper, we propose a new model for designing integrated forward/reverse logistics based on pricing policy in direct and indirect sales channel. The proposed model includes producers, disposal center, distributers and final customers. We assumed that the location of final customers is fixed. First, a deterministic mixed integer linear programming model is developed for integrated logistic...

In the d-regular path schematization problem we are given an embedded path P (e.g., a route in a road network) and an integer d. The goal is to find a d-schematized embedding of P in which the orthogonal order of all vertices in the input is preserved and in which every edge has a slope that is an integer multiple of 90◦/d. We show that deciding whether a path can be d-schematized is NP-hard fo...

Quadrilateral meshing algorithms impose certain constraints on the number of intervals or mesh edges of the curves bounding a surface. When constructing a conformal mesh of a collection of adjoining surfaces, the constraints for all of the surfaces must be simultaneously satisfied. These constraints can be formulated as an integer linear program. Not all solutions to this problem are equally de...

StarCraft is a real-time strategy PC game released by Blizzard Entertainment in 1998. It is widely regarded as the defining game of the genre, receiving broad critical acclaim and many years of commercial success. The game retains a large and loyal fanbase and is a popular e-sport, especially in Korea. StarCraft also contributes to artificial intelligence research, serving as a testbed for agen...

In order to implement the cellular manufacturing system in practice, some essential factors should be taken into account. In this paper, a new mathematical model for cellular manufacturing system considering different production factors including alternative process routings and machine reliability with stochastic arrival and service times in a dynamic environment is proposed. Also because of t...

We consider the Module Allocation Problem with Non-Uniform communication costs (MAPNU), where a set of program modules must be assigned to a set of processors. The optimal assignment minimizes the sum of execution costs and communication costs between modules. This problem is naturally formulated as a quadratic 0-1 problem with linear constraints. In this paper, we compare two exact solution me...
