The Minmax Multidimensional Knapsack Problem with Application to a Chance-Constrained Problem
In this paper we present a new combinatorial problem, called minmax multidimensional knapsack problem (MKP), motivated by a military logistics problem. The logistics problem is a two-period, two-level, chance-constrained problem with recourse. We show that the MKP is NP-hard and develop a practically efficient combinatorial algorithm for solving it. We also show that under some reasonable assum...
متن کاملSwarm intelligence applied in green logistics: A literature review
Green logistics (GL) is gaining increasing attention among academic researchers and industrial practitioners, due to the escalating deterioration of the environment. Various green activities and operations aiming at improving the performance of GL have been applied synthetically, and most of the activities can be modeled as combinatorial optimization (CO) problems. Exact approaches tend to be i...

متن کاملThe Computational Complexity of Stochastic Optimization
This paper presents an investigation on the computational complexity of stochastic optimization problems. We discuss a scenariobased model which captures the important classes of two-stage stochastic combinatorial optimization, two-stage stochastic linear programming, and two-stage stochastic integer linear programming. This model can also be used to handle chance constraints, which are used in...
