A variational model for equilibrium problems in a traffic network

Giandomenico Mastroeni, Massimo Pappalardo (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

We propose a variational model for one of the most important problems in traffic networks, namely, the network equilibrium flow that is, traditionally in the context of operations research, characterized by minimum cost flow. This model has the peculiarity of being formulated by means of a suitable variational inequality (VI) and its solution is called “equilibrium”. This model becomes a minimum cost model when the cost function is separable or, more general, when the Jacobian of the...

Blood Flow Simulation in Atherosclerotic Vascular Network Using Fiber-Spring Representation of Diseased Wall

Yu. Vassilevski, S. Simakov, V. Salamatova, Yu. Ivanov, T. Dobroserdova (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

We present the fiber-spring elastic model of the arterial wall with atherosclerotic plaque composed of a lipid pool and a fibrous cap. This model allows us to reproduce pressure to cross-sectional area relationship along the diseased vessel which is used in the network model of global blood circulation. Atherosclerosis attacks a region of systemic arterial network. Our approach allows us to examine the impact of the diseased region onto...

Reliability-based economic model predictive control for generalised flow-based networks including actuators' health-aware capabilities

Juan M. Grosso, Carlos Ocampo-Martinez, Vicenç Puig (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper proposes a reliability-based economic model predictive control (MPC) strategy for the management of generalised flow-based networks, integrating some ideas on network service reliability, dynamic safety stock planning, and degradation of equipment health. The proposed strategy is based on a single-layer economic optimisation problem with dynamic constraints, which includes two enhancements with respect to existing approaches. The first enhancement considers chance-constraint...

Mathematical Model of Blood Flow in an Anatomically Detailed Arterial Network of the Arm

Sansuke M. Watanabe, Pablo J. Blanco, Raúl A. Feijóo (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Similarity:

A distributed-parameter (one-dimensional) anatomically detailed model for the arterial network of the arm is developed in order to carry out hemodynamics simulations. This work focuses on the specific aspects related to the model set-up. In this regard, stringent anatomical and physiological considerations have been pursued in order to construct the arterial topology and to provide a systematic estimation of the involved parameters. The model comprises 108 arterial segments, with 64...

Separable convexification and DCA techniques for capacity and flow assignment problems

P. Mahey, Thai Q. Phong, H. P. L. Luna (2001)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

We study a continuous version of the capacity and flow assignment problem (CFA) where the design cost is combined with an average delay measure to yield a non convex objective function coupled with multicommodity flow constraints. A separable convexification of each arc cost function is proposed to obtain approximate feasible solutions within easily computable gaps from optimality. On the other hand, DC (difference of convex functions) programming can be used to compute accurate upper...
