Multiple routing strategies in a labelled network

J. Maublanc, D. Peyrton, A. Quilliot (2001)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

We present here models and algorithms for the construction of efficient path systems, robust to possible variations of the characteristics of the network. We propose some interpretations of these models and proceed to numerical experimentations of the related algorithms. We conclude with a discussion of the way those concepts may be applied to the design of a Public Transportation System.

Nanonetworks: The graph theory framework for modeling nanoscale systems

Jelena Živkovic, Bosiljka Tadic (2013)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

Nanonetwork is defined as a mathematical model of nanosize objects with biological, physical and chemical attributes, which are interconnected within certain dynamical process. To demonstrate the potentials of this modeling approach for quantitative study of complexity at nanoscale, in this survey, we consider three kinds of nanonetworks: Genes of a yeast are connected by weighted links corresponding to their coexpression along the cell cycle; Gold nanoparticles, arranged on a substrate, are linked...

On a dual network exterior point simplex type algorithm and its computational behavior

George Geranis, Konstantinos Paparrizos, Angelo Sifaleras (2012)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

The minimum cost network flow problem, (MCNFP) constitutes a wide category of network flow problems. Recently a new dual network exterior point simplex algorithm (DNEPSA) for the MCNFP has been developed. This algorithm belongs to a special “exterior point simplex type” category. Similar to the classical dual network simplex algorithm (DNSA), this algorithm starts with a dual feasible tree-solution and after a number of iterations, it produces a solution that is both primal and dual feasible, i.e....

On the minimum cost multiple-source unsplittable flow problem

Meriema Belaidouni, Walid Ben-Ameur (2007)

RAIRO - Operations Research

The minimum cost multiple-source unsplittable flow problem is studied in this paper. A simple necessary condition to get a solution is proposed. It deals with capacities and demands and can be seen as a generalization of the well-known semi-metric condition for continuous multicommdity flows. A cutting plane algorithm is derived using a superadditive approach. The inequalities considered here are valid for single knapsack constraints. They are based on nondecreasing superadditive functions and...

Optimal networks for mass transportation problems

Alessio Brancolini, Giuseppe Buttazzo (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In the framework of transport theory, we are interested in the following optimization problem: given the distributions μ + of working people and μ - of their working places in an urban area, build a transportation network (such as a railway or an underground system) which minimizes a functional depending on the geometry of the network through a particular cost function. The functional is defined as the Wasserstein distance of μ + from μ - with respect to a metric which depends on the transportation network....
