Direct solution to constrained tropical optimization problems with application to project scheduling
We examine a new optimization problem formulated in the tropical mathematics setting as a further extension of certain known problems. The problem is to minimize a nonlinear objective function, which is defined on vectors over an idempotent semifield by using multiplicative conjugate transposition, subject to inequality constraints. As compared to the known problems, the new one has a more gene...
متن کاملExplicit solution of a tropical optimization problem with application to project scheduling
A new multidimensional optimization problem is considered in the tropical mathematics setting. The problem is to minimize a nonlinear function defined on a finite-dimensional semimodule over an idempotent semifield and given by a conjugate transposition operator. A special case of the problem, which arises in just-in-time scheduling, serves as a motivation for the study. To solve the general pr...
متن کاملAlgebraic solution of tropical optimization problems via matrix sparsification with application to scheduling
Optimization problems are considered in the framework of tropical algebra to minimize and maximize a nonlinear objective function defined on vectors over an idempotent semifield, and calculated using multiplicative conjugate transposition. To find the minimum of the function, we first obtain a partial solution, which explicitly represents a subset of solution vectors. We characterize all soluti...
متن کاملTropical optimization problems in project scheduling
We consider a project that consists of activities operating in parallel under various temporal constraints, including start-start, startfinish and finish-start precedence relations, early start, late start and late finish time boundaries, and due dates. Scheduling problems are formulated to find optimal schedules for the project under different optimality criteria to minimize, including the pro...
متن کاملA multi-objective resource-constrained optimization of time-cost trade-off problems in scheduling project
This paper presents a multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem with positive and negative cash flows. The net present value (NPV) maximization and making span minimization are this study objectives. And since this problem is considered as complex optimization in NP-Hard context, we present a mathematical model for the given problem and solve three evolutionary algorithms;...
