Optimization of power transmission systems using a multi-level decomposition approach

Alexandre Dolgui, Nikolai Guschinsky, Genrikh Levin (2007)

RAIRO - Operations Research

We discuss the use of operations research methods for computer-aided design of mechanical transmission systems. We consider how to choose simultaneously transmission ratios and basic design parameters of transmission elements (diameters, widths, modules and tooth number for gears, diameters of shafts). The objectives, by the order of importance, are: to minimize the deviation of the obtained speeds from desired; to maximize the transmission life; to minimize the total mass. To solve this...

Ordres médians et ordres de Slater des tournois

Irène Charon, Olivier Hudry, Frédéric Woirgard (1996)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Dans cet article, nous essayons de faire le point sur les résultats concernant les aspects combinatoires et algorithmiques des ordres médians et des ordres de Slater des tournois. La plupart des résultats recensés sont tirés de différentes publications ; plusieurs sont originaux.

Primal-dual approximation algorithms for a packing-covering pair of problems

Sofia Kovaleva, Frits C. R. Spieksma (2002)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

We consider a special packing-covering pair of problems. The packing problem is a natural generalization of finding a (weighted) maximum independent set in an interval graph, the covering problem generalizes the problem of finding a (weighted) minimum clique cover in an interval graph. The problem pair involves weights and capacities; we consider the case of unit weights and the case of unit capacities. In each case we describe a simple algorithm that outputs a solution to the packing problem and...
