Evolutionary methods are effective tools for obtaining high-quality results when solving hard practical problems. Linkage learning may increase their effectiveness. One of the state-of-the-art that employ linkage is Parameter-less Population Pyramid (P3). P3 dedicated to single-objective problems in discrete domains. Recent research shows highly competitive addressing with so-called overlapping...

Abstract In studying petroleum supply chain networks, past studies have largely segregated three critical decision-making aspects: integrated planning, uncertainties, and multi-objective setting. This study focuses on consolidating these aspects proposes a stochastic, multi-objective, mixed-integer linear programming model for strategic tactical planning of downstream (DPSC) networks. Demand, c...

integrated production-distribution planning (pdp) is one of the most important approaches in supply chain networks. we consider a supply chain network (scn) to consist of multi suppliers, plants, distribution centers (dcs), and retailers. a bi-objective mixed integer linear programming model for integrating production-distribution designed here aim to simultaneously minimize total net costs in ...
