Solving Sequential Mixed Auctions with Integer Programming

چکیده
Mixed multi-unit combinatorial auctions (MMUCAs) offer a high potential to be employed for the automated assembly of supply chains of agents. However, in order for mixed auctions to be effectively applied to supply chain formation, we must ensure computational tractability and reduce bidders’ uncertainty. With this aim, we introduce Sequential Mixed Auctions (SMAs), a novel auction model conceived to help bidders collaboratively discover supply chain structures. Thus, an SMA allows bidders progressively build a supply chain structure through successive auction rounds.

Solving Single Machine Sequencing to Minimize Maximum Lateness Problem Using Mixed Integer Programming
Despite existing various integer programming for sequencing problems, there is not enoughinformation about practical values of the models. This paper considers the problem of minimizing maximumlateness with release dates and presents four different mixed integer programming (MIP) models to solve thisproblem. These models have been formulated for the classical single machine problem, namely sequ...
متن کاملA fuzzy mixed-integer goal programming model for a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and release dates
This paper presents a new mixed-integer goal programming (MIGP) model for a parallel machine scheduling problem with sequence-dependent setup times and release dates. Two objectives are considered in the model to minimize the total weighted flow time and the total weighted tardiness simultaneously. Due to the com-plexity of the above model and uncertainty involved in real-world scheduling probl...
متن کاملGlobal optimization of mixed-integer polynomial programming problems: A new method based on Grobner Bases theory
Mixed-integer polynomial programming (MIPP) problems are one class of mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems where objective function and constraints are restricted to the polynomial functions. Although the MINLP problem is NP-hard, in special cases such as MIPP problems, an efficient algorithm can be extended to solve it. In this research, we propose an algorit...
متن کاملA New Sequential Cutting Plane Algorithm for Solving Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming Problems
This paper presents a new algorithm for solving mixed integer nonlinear programming problems. The algorithm uses a branch and bound strategy where a nonlinear programming problem is solved in each integer node of the tree. The nonlinear programming problems, at each integer node of the tree, are not solved to optimality, rather one iteration step is taken at each node and then linearizations of...
متن کاملA trust region SQP algorithm for mixed-integer nonlinear programming
We propose a modified sequential quadratic programming (SQP) method for solving mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems. Under the assumption that integer variables have a smooth influence on the model functions, i.e., that function values do not change drastically when inor decrementing an integer value, successive quadratic approximations are applied. The algorithm is stabilized by a tru...
