Optimal design of spatial distribution networks.
We consider the problem of constructing facilities such as hospitals, airports, or malls in a country with a nonuniform population density, such that the average distance from a person's home to the nearest facility is minimized. We review some previous approximate treatments of this problem that indicate that the optimal distribution of facilities should have a density that increases with popu...
متن کاملOptimal Design of the Cross-docking in Distribution Networks: Heuristic Solution Approach
A design problem of cross-docking distribution networks is addressed as a new research area in logistics management. This paper presents a new mathematical model for the location of cross-docking facilities and vehicle routing scheduling problems in distribution networks. For this purpose, a two-phase mixed-integer programming (MIP) is formulated. Then, a new heuristic-based simulated annealing...
متن کاملDetermination of Optimal Sampling Design for Spatial Data Analysis
Extended Abstract. Inferences for spatial data are affected substantially by the spatial configuration of the network of sites where measurements are taken. Consider the following standard data-model framework for spatial data. Suppose a continuous, spatially-varying quantity, Z, is to be observed at a predetermined number, n, of points ....[ To Countinue Click here]
متن کاملOPTIMAL DESIGN OF SHELLS WITH STEP-FUNCTION DISTRIBUTION OF THICKNESS
The paper is concerned with a methodology of optimal design of shells of minimum weight with strength, stability and strain constraints. Stress and strain state of the shell is determined by Galerkin method in the mixed finite element formulation within the geometrically nonlinear theory. The analysis of the effectiveness of different optimization algorithms to solve the set problem is given. T...
متن کاملOptimal cost design of water distribution networks using harmony search
This study presents a cost minimization model for the design of water distribution networks. The model uses a recently developed harmony search optimization algorithm while satisfying all the design constraints. The harmony search algorithm mimics a jazz improvisation process in order to find better design solutions, in this case pipe diameters in a water distribution network. The model also in...
