Bi-directional nearness in a network by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANP (Analytic Network Process)
Bi-directional nearness in a network by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANP (Analytic Network Process)
In this paper we study bi-directional nearness in a network based on AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ANP (Analytic Network Process). Usually we use forward (one-dimensional) direction nearness based on Euclidean distance. Even if the nearest point to i is point j, the nearest point to j is not necessarily point i. Sowe propose the concept of bi-directional nearness defined by AHP'ssynthesizing of weights “for” direction and “from” direction. This concept of distance is a relative distance...
Binary integer programming solution for troubleshooting with dependent actions
We deal with a sequencing problem that arises when there are multiple repair actions available to fix a broken man-made system and the true cause of the system failure is uncertain. The system is formally described by a probabilistic model, and it is to be repaired by a sequence of troubleshooting actions designed to identify the cause of the malfunction and fix the system. The task is to find a course of repair with minimal expected cost. We propose a binary integer programming formulation for...

Bounded expansion in web graphs
In this paper we study various models for web graphs with respect to bounded expansion. All the deterministic models even have constant expansion, whereas the copying model has unbounded expansion. The most interesting case turns out to be the preferential attachment model --- which we conjecture to have unbounded expansion, too.

Branch-and-bound algorithm for total weighted tardiness minimization on parallel machines under release dates assumptions
This paper deals with the parallel-machine scheduling problem with the aim of minimizing the total (weighted) tardiness under the assumption of different release dates. This problem has been proven to be NP-hard. We introduce some new lower and upper bounds based on different approaches. We propose a branch-and-bound algorithm to solve the weighted and unweighted total tardiness. Computational experiments were performed on a large set of instances...
