Optimal discounts for the online assignment problem
نویسنده
چکیده
We prove that, for two simple functions drlt, solving the online assignment problem with crl − drlt as the contribution for assigning resource r to task l at time t gives the optimal solution to the corresponding offline assignment problem (provided the optimal offline solution is unique). We call such functions drlt optimal discount functions.

متن کاملAn optimization technique for vendor selection with quantity discounts using Genetic Algorithm
Vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. The problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. Such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. This paper propose...
متن کاملDifferent Network Performance Measures in a Multi-Objective Traffic Assignment Problem
Traffic assignment algorithms are used to determine possible use of paths between origin-destination pairs and predict traffic flow in network links. One of the main deficiencies of ordinary traffic assignment methods is that in most of them one measure (mostly travel time) is usually included in objective function and other effective performance measures in traffic assignment are not considere...
