The Variance Location Problem on a Network with Continuously distributed demand

Ma Cruz López de los Mozos, Juan A. Mesa (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

Most location problems on networks consider discrete nodal demand. However, for many problems, demands are better represented by continuous functions along the edges, in addition to nodal demands. Several papers consider the optimal location problem of one or more facilities when demands are continuously distributed along the network, and the objective function dealt with is the median one. Nevertheless, in location of public services it is desirable to use an equity criterion. One...

Quasi-hierarchical evolution algorithm for flow assignment in survivable connection-oriented networks

Michal Przewozniczek, Krzysztof Walkowiak (2006)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The main objective of this paper is to develop an effective evolutionary algorithm (EA) for the path-assignment problem in survivable connection-oriented networks. We assume a single-link failure scenario, which is the most common and frequently reported failure event. Since the network flow is modeled as a non-bifurcated multicommodity flow, the discussed optimization problem is NP-complete. Thus, we develop an effective heuristic algorithm based on an evolutionary algorithm. The main...
