Optimal Resource Allocation for Network Protection: A Geometric Programming Approach

A Bi-level Formulation for Centralized Resource Allocation DEA Models

In this paper, the common centralized DEA models are extended to the bi-level centralized resource allocation (CRA) models based on revenue efficiency. Based on the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) conditions, the bi-level CRA model is reduced to a one-level mathematical program subject to complementarity constraints (MPCC). A recurrent neural network is developed for solving this one-level mathematica...

A new approach for solving fuzzy multi-objective quadratic programming of water resource allocation problem

A Mixed Integer Programming Approach to Optimal Feeder Routing for Tree-Based Distribution System: A Case Study

A genetic algorithm is proposed to optimize a tree-structured power distribution network considering optimal cable sizing. For minimizing the total cost of the network, a mixed-integer programming model is presented determining the optimal sizes of cables with minimized location-allocation cost. For designing the distribution lines in a power network, the primary factors must be considered as m...

Traffic Control for Network Protection Against Spreading Processes

Epidemic outbreaks in human populations are facilitated by the underlying transportation network. We consider strategies for containing a viral spreading process by optimally allocating a limited budget to three types of protection resources: (i) Traffic control resources, (ii), preventative resources and (iii) corrective resources. Traffic control resources are employed to impose restrictions ...

Using of Metaheuristic Water Cycle Algorithm in order to Determine Optimal Crop Cultivation across of Genetic Algorithm and linear programming (Case Study: Varamin Irrigation Network)

Due to water use increasing, attention to optimal water resources allocation is needed. In recent decades, the use of intelligent evolutionary methods for optimization of water allocation was focused more by researchers. The aim of this study is to development on water resources planning model that determined the proper cultivation, optimal exploitation of groundwater and surface water resource...
