Biological solutions to transport network design.
Transport networks are vital components of multicellular organisms, distributing nutrients and removing waste products. Animal and plant transport systems are branching trees whose architecture is linked to universal scaling laws in these organisms. In contrast, many fungi form reticulated mycelia via the branching and fusion of thread-like hyphae that continuously adapt to the environment. Fun...
متن کاملEnumeration of Dominant Solutions: An Application in Transport Network Design
A One-Dimensional Binary Integer Programming Problem (1DB-IPP) is concerned with selecting a subset from a set of k items in budget constraint to optimize an objective function. In this problem a dominant solution is defined as a feasible selection to which no further item could be added in budget constraint. This paper presents a simple algorithm for Enumeration of Dominant Solutions (EDS) and...
متن کاملLecture #9 – Biological Solutions to Process Design Problems
Note that engineering problems, based on how we’ve defined them, cannot be solved by a biological resolution because they were concerned with physico-chemical or thermodynamic aspects of the substrates/products. *There is one exception here. We might consider improvement of equilibrium reactions by coupling product removal to a second reaction to be a biological solution if we use a second enzy...

متن کاملSolving the hazmat transport network design problem
In this paper, we consider the problem of network design for hazardous material transportation where the government designates a network, and the carriers choose the routes on the network. We model the problem as a bilevel network flow formulation and analyze the bilevel design problem by comparing it to three other decision scenarios. The bilevel model is difficult to solve and may be ill-pose...
