Exact and heuristic approaches to solve the Internet shopping optimization problem with delivery costs

Mario C. Lopez-Loces, Jedrzej Musial, Johnatan E. Pecero, Hector J. Fraire-Huacuja, Jacek Blazewicz, Pascal Bouvry (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Internet shopping has been one of the most common online activities, carried out by millions of users every day. As the number of available offers grows, the difficulty in getting the best one among all the shops increases as well. In this paper we propose an integer linear programming (ILP) model and two heuristic solutions, the MinMin algorithm and the cellular processing algorithm, to tackle the Internet shopping optimization problem with delivery costs. The obtained results improve...

A comparative and experimental study on gradient and genetic optimization algorithms for parameter identification of linear MIMO models of a drilling vessel

Stanisław Bańka, Michał Brasel, Paweł Dworak, Krzysztof Jaroszewski (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper presents algorithms for parameter identification of linear vessel models being in force for the current operating point of a ship. Advantages and disadvantages of gradient and genetic algorithms in identifying the model parameters are discussed. The study is supported by presentation of identification results for a nonlinear model of a drilling vessel.

A branch-and-price-and-cut algorithm for the pattern minimization problem

Cláudio Alves, J.M. Valério de Carvalho (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

In cutting stock problems, after an optimal (minimal stock usage) cutting plan has been devised, one might want to further reduce the operational costs by minimizing the number of setups. A setup operation occurs each time a different cutting pattern begins to be produced. The related optimization problem is known as the Pattern Minimization Problem, and it is particularly hard to solve exactly. In this paper, we present different techniques to strengthen a formulation proposed in the...

A hybrid genetic algorithm for a dynamic logistics network with multi-commodities and components

Peng-Sheng You, Yi-Chih Hsieh, Hisn-Hung Chen (2011)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

Various topics related to reverse logistics have been discussed over the years. Most of them have assumed that facilities are kept open once they are established, and no returned products or recovery parts are stocked in intermediate recycling stations. However, firms may have the right to repeatedly open or close their facilities according to their economic benefits if they can acquire their facilities by lease. It also turns out that intermediate recycling stations like collection...

An algorithm for multiparametric 0-1-Integer Programming problems relative to a generalized min max objective function

José Luis Quintero, Alejandro Crema (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

The multiparametric 0-1-Integer Programming (0-1-IP) problem relative to the objective function is a family of 0-1-IP problems which are related by having identical constraint matrix and right-hand-side vector. In this paper we present an algorithm to perform a complete multiparametric analysis relative to a generalized min max objective function such that the min sum and min max are particular cases.

An adaptive multi-spline refinement algorithm in simulation based sailboat trajectory optimization using onboard multi-core computer systems

Roman Dębski (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

A new dynamic programming based parallel algorithm adapted to on-board heterogeneous computers for simulation based trajectory optimization is studied in the context of “high-performance sailing”. The algorithm uses a new discrete space of continuously differentiable functions called the multi-splines as its search space representation. A basic version of the algorithm is presented in detail (pseudo-code, time and space complexity, search space auto-adaptation properties). Possible extensions...

Un couplage entre un algorithme génétique et un modèle de simulation pour l'ordonnancement à court terme d'un atelier discontinu de chimie fine

Philippe Baudet, Catherine Azzaro-Pantel, Luc Pibouleau, Serge Domenech (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Similarity:

In this paper, a discrete-event simulation model is coupled with a genetic algorithm to treat highly combinatorial scheduling problems encountered in a production campaign of a fine chemistry plant. The main constraints and features of fine chemistry have been taken into account in the development of the model, thus allowing a realistic evaluation of the objective function used in the stochastic optimization procedure. After a presentation of problem combinatorics, the coupling strategy...

Advances in parallel heterogeneous genetic algorithms for continuous optimization

Enrique Alba, Francisco Luna, Antonio Nebro (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

In this paper we address an extension of a very efficient genetic algorithm (GA) known as Hy3, a physical parallelization of the gradual distributed real-coded GA (GD-RCGA). This search model relies on a set of eight subpopulations residing in a cube topology having two faces for promoting exploration and exploitation. The resulting technique has been shown to yield very accurate results in continuous optimization by using crossover operators tuned to explore and exploit the solutions...

Variable Neighborhood Search for Solving the Capacitated Single Allocation Hub Location Problem

Maric, Miroslav (2013)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

In this paper a Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) algorithm for solving the Capacitated Single Allocation Hub Location Problem (CSAHLP) is presented. CSAHLP consists of two subproblems; the first is choosing a set of hubs from all nodes in a network, while the other comprises finding the optimal allocation of non-hubs to hubs when a set of hubs is already known. The VNS algorithm was used for the first subproblem, while the CPLEX solver was used for the second. Computational results...

High-performance simulation-based algorithms for an alpine ski racer's trajectory optimization in heterogeneous computer systems

Roman Dębski (2014)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Effective, simulation-based trajectory optimization algorithms adapted to heterogeneous computers are studied with reference to the problem taken from alpine ski racing (the presented solution is probably the most general one published so far). The key idea behind these algorithms is to use a grid-based discretization scheme to transform the continuous optimization problem into a search problem over a specially constructed finite graph, and then to apply dynamic programming to find an...
