Application of an optimization problem in Max-Plus algebra to scheduling problems
The problem tackled in this paper deals with products of a finite number of triangular matrices in Max-Plus algebra, and more precisely with an optimization problem related to the product order. We propose a polynomial time optimization algorithm for 2 × 2 matrices products. We show that the problem under consideration generalizes numerous scheduling problems, like single machine problems or tw...
متن کاملCyclic jobshop problem and (max,plus) algebra
In this paper, we focus on the cyclic job-shop problem. This problem consists in determining the order of a set of generic tasks on machines in order to minimize the cycle time of the sequence. We propose an exact method to solve this problem. For each solution, a linear max-plus model (possibly non causal) is obtained. To evaluate the performance of a considered schedule, we build the causal m...
متن کاملApplication of Max-Plus algebra to biological sequence comparisons
The classical algorithms to align two biological sequences (Needleman and Wunsch and Smith and Waterman algorithms) can be seen as a sequence of elementary operations in (max;+) algebra: each line (viewed as a vector) of the dynamic programming table of the alignment algorithms can be deduced by a (max;+) multiplication of the previous line by a matrix. Taking into account the properties of the...
متن کاملMax-plus algebra
The max-plus semiring Rmax is the set R∪{−∞}, equipped with the addition (a, b) 7→ max(a, b) and the multiplication (a, b) 7→ a + b. The identity element for the addition, zero, is −∞, and the identity element for the multiplication, unit, is 0. To illuminate the linear algebraic nature of the results, the generic notations +, , × (or concatenation), 0 and 1 are used for the addition, the sum, ...
متن کاملMax-plus algebra and its application in spreading of information
In this paper circulant matrices in max-plus algebra are presented. Circulant matrices are special form of matrices which are entered by vector of inputs. For special types of matrices such as circulant matrices, the computation can often be performed in the simpler way than in the general case. The so-called max-plus algebra is useful for investigation of discrete events systems and the sequen...
