Flots entiers et multiflots fractionnaires couplés par une contrainte de capacité

Alain Quilliot, Fatiha Bendali, Jean Mailfert (2006)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Nous modélisons ici plusieurs problèmes de Transport et de Gestion de Flux à l'aide d'un flot entier et d'un multiflot fractionnaire couplés par une contrainte de capacité. Pour le problème ainsi obtenu, nous proposons différents schémas de résolution par relaxation et décomposition, qui induisent la recherche d'un flot auxiliaire dont la partie entière supérieure doit minimiser un certain coût, et qui requièrent la mise en œuvre d'un processus d'agrégation. Nous en déduisons diverses heuristiques...

Flow control in connection-oriented networks: a time-varying sampling period system case study

Przemysław Ignaciuk, Andrzej Bartoszewicz (2008)

Kybernetika

In this paper congestion control problem in connection-oriented communication network with multiple data sources is addressed. In the considered network the feedback necessary for the flow regulation is provided by means of management units, which are sent by each source once every M data packets. The management units, carrying the information about the current network state, return to their origin round trip time RTT after they were sent. Since the source rate is adjusted only at the instant of...

Flow Polyhedra and Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problems

Alain Quilliot, Hélène Toussaint (2012)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

This paper aims at describing the way Flow machinery may be used in order to deal with Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problems (RCPSP). In order to do it, it first introduces the Timed Flow Polyhedron related to a RCPSP instance. Next it states several structural results related to connectivity and to cut management. It keeps on with a description of the way this framework gives rise to a generic Insertion operator, which enables programmers to design greedy and local search algorithms....

Forecast horizon and planning horizon paths in time-indexed network

Stanisław Bylka (2006)

Banach Center Publications

The problem of existence of a forecast (or planning) horizon has been considered in many special models, more or less precisely. We specify and investigate this problem for families of cheapest paths in networks with weakly ordered nodes. In a discrete network, the standard forward algorithm finds the subnetwork generated by optimal paths. The proposed forward procedure reduces subnetworks such that the forecast horizon remains unchanged. Based on the final subnetwork, we have an answer to the forecast...

Fractional virus epidemic model on financial networks

Mehmet Ali Balci (2016)

Open Mathematics

In this study, we present an epidemic model that characterizes the behavior of a financial network of globally operating stock markets. Since the long time series have a global memory effect, we represent our model by using the fractional calculus. This model operates on a network, where vertices are the stock markets and edges are constructed by the correlation distances. Thereafter, we find an analytical solution to commensurate system and use the well-known differential transform method to obtain...

France Telecom workforce scheduling problem: a challenge

Sebastian Pokutta, Gautier Stauffer (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In this paper, we describe the methodology used to tackle France Telecom workforce scheduling problem (the subject of the Roadef Challenge 2007) and we report the results obtained on the different data sets provided for the competition. Since the problem at hand appears to be NP-hard and due to the high dimensions of the instance sets, we use a two-step heuristical approach. We first devise a problem-tailored heuristic that provides good feasible solutions and then we use a meta-heuristic scheme...
