Online LIB problems : heuristics for bin covering and lower bounds for bin packing

Luke Finlay, Prabhu Manyem (2005)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

We consider the NP Hard problems of online Bin Covering and Packing while requiring that larger (or longer, in the one dimensional case) items be placed at the bottom of the bins, below smaller (or shorter) items — we call such a version, the LIB version of problems. Bin sizes can be uniform or variable. We look at computational studies for both the Best Fit and Harmonic Fit algorithms for uniform sized bin covering. The Best Fit heuristic for this version of the problem is introduced here. The...

On-line models and algorithms for max independent set

Bruno Escoffier, Vangelis Th. Paschos (2006)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In on-line computation, the instance of the problem dealt is not entirely known from the beginning of the solution process, but it is revealed step-by-step. In this paper we deal with on-line independent set. On-line models studied until now for this problem suppose that the input graph is initially empty and revealed either vertex-by-vertex, or cluster-by-cluster. Here we present a new on-line model quite different to the ones already studied. It assumes that a superset of the final graph is initially...

Operational Methods in the Environment of a Computer Algebra System

Spiridonova, Margarita (2009)

Serdica Journal of Computing

This article presents the principal results of the doctoral thesis “Direct Operational Methods in the Environment of a Computer Algebra System” by Margarita Spiridonova (Institute of mathematics and Informatics, BAS), successfully defended before the Specialised Academic Council for Informatics and Mathematical Modelling on 23 March, 2009.The presented research is related to the operational calculus approach and its representative applications. Operational methods are considered, as well as their...

Optimal Allocation of Renewable Energy Parks: A Two–stage Optimization Model

Carmen Gervet, Mohammad Atef (2013)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Applied research into Renewable Energies raises complex challenges of a technological, economical or political nature. In this paper, we address the techno−economical optimization problem of selecting locations of wind and solar Parks to be built in Egypt, such that the electricity demand is satisfied at minimal costs. Ultimately, our goal is to build a decision support tool that will provide private and governmental investors into renewable energy systems, valuable insights to make informed short...
