calculating total cast of bank resources procurement methods which include current -free loan deposit, saving interest-free loan deposit, regular and net short-term investment deposit, long-term investment deposit and surety bond cash deposit and presenting their optimal integration require precise scientific studies. hence, this study is an attempt to know which methods are the best optimal in...

We analyze combinatorial optimization problems with ordinal, i.e., non-additive, objective functions that assign categories (like good, medium and bad) rather than cost coefficients to the elements of feasible solutions. review different optimality concepts for ordinal discuss their similarities differences. then focus on two prevalent are shown be equivalent. Our main lies investigation a bije...

in this study, the application of gray relational analysis (gra) and taguchi method in multi-criteria process parameters selection of turning operation has been investigated. the process responses under study are material removal rate (mrr) and surface roughness (sr); in turn, the input parameters include cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius of the cutting tool. the proposed a...

the national bridge stock of iran consists of about 330,000 bridges, of which around 50% are older than 30 years. since 2010, iran road maintenance & transportation organization has started implementing a comprehensive bridge management system in order to manage this aged stock efficiently. to predict future conditions of bridge stock, a heuristic numerical method is presented. this methodology...

abstract. when a production facility is designed, there are various parameters affecting the number machines such as production capacity and reliability. it is often a tedious task to optimize different objectives simultaneously. the other issue is the uncertainty in many design parameters which makes it difficult to reach a desirable solution. in this paper, we present a new mathematical model...

ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new Multi-Objective Equilibrium Optimizer (MOEO) to handle complex optimization problems, including real-world engineering design problems. The (EO) is recently reported physics-based metaheuristic algorithm, and it has been inspired by the models used predict equilibrium state dynamic state. A similar procedure utilized in MOEO combining different target search s...
