چکیده

We systematically design two new decomposition–recombination (DR) planners, geared to perform well with respect to several performance measures. The DR-planning problem and the performance measures were formally defined in Part I of this paper to closely reflect specific requirements of CAD/CAM applications. As expected, in analysis and comparison based on all of these performance measures, one of the new DR-planners, the modified frontier algorithm (MFA), represents a significant improvement over existing planners based on SR (constraint shape recognition) and MM (maximum matching) that were analyzed in Part I. We also present salient heuristics and data structures used in the implementation of MFA. c © 2001 Academic Press

Decomposition Plans for Geometric Constraint Systems, Part I: Performance Measures for CAD

A central issue in dealing with geometric constraint systems for CAD/CAM/CAE is the generation of an optimal decomposition plan that not only aids efficient solution, but also captures design intent and supports conceptual design. Though complex, this issue has evolved and crystallized over the past few years, permitting us to take the next important step: in this paper, we formalize, motivate ...

Solving a New Multi-objective Inventory-Routing Problem by a Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm

This paper considers a multi-period, multi-product inventory-routing problem in a two-level supply chain consisting of a distributor and a set of customers. This problem is modeled with the aim of minimizing bi-objectives, namely the total system cost (including startup, distribution and maintenance costs) and risk-based transportation. Products are delivered to customers by some heterogeneous ...

Geometric constraints within feature hierarchies

We study the problem of enabling general 2D and 3D variational constraint representation to be used in conjunction with a feature hierarchy representation, where some of the features may use procedural or other non-constraint based representations. We trace the challenge to a requirement on constraint decomposition algorithms or decomposition-recombination (DR) planners used by most variational...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Integrated Benders Decomposition Algorithm and Epsilon Constraint Method for Multi-Objective Facility Location Problem under Demand Uncertainty

One of the most challenging issues in multi-objective problems is finding Pareto optimal points. This paper describes an algorithm based on Benders Decomposition Algorithm (BDA) which tries to find Pareto solutions. For this aim, a multi-objective facility location allocation model is proposed. In this case, an integrated BDA and epsilon constraint method are proposed and it is shown that how P...

A geometric method of sector decomposition

We propose a new geometric method of IR factorization in sector decomposition. The problem is converted into a set of problems in convex geometry. The latter problems are solved using algorithms in combinatorial geometry. This method provides a deterministic algorithm and never falls into an infinite loop. The number of resulting sectors depends on the algorithm of triangulation. Our test imple...
