چکیده

In many real-world optimisation problems, we need to find a set of near-optimal solutions from which one can be selected [8, 9]. For instance, multiobjective optimisation problems form an extensive class of problems where multiple criteria need to be satisfied. The multiple objectives are often conflicting and/or incommensurable and the goal is to find a solution which represents a set of good compromises between the objectives. Moreover, in some single-objective optimisation problems, it might be necessary to find several good local optima so that a decision maker may make the final choice.

A Clustering Based Location-allocation Problem Considering Transportation Costs and Statistical Properties (RESEARCH NOTE)

Cluster analysis is a useful technique in multivariate statistical analysis. Different types of hierarchical cluster analysis and K-means have been used for data analysis in previous studies. However, the K-means algorithm can be improved using some metaheuristics algorithms. In this study, we propose simulated annealing based algorithm for K-means in the clustering analysis which we refer it a...

Solving the flexible job shop problem by hybrid metaheuristics-based multiagent model

The flexible job shop scheduling problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical job shop scheduling problem that allows to process operations on one machine out of a set of alternative machines. The FJSP is an NP-hard problem consisting of two sub-problems, which are the assignment and the scheduling problems. In this paper, we propose how to solve the FJSP by hybrid metaheuristics-based c...

General form of a cooperative gradual maximal covering location problem

Cooperative and gradual covering are two new methods for developing covering location models. In this paper, a cooperative maximal covering location–allocation model is developed (CMCLAP). In addition, both cooperative and gradual covering concepts are applied to the maximal covering location simultaneously (CGMCLP). Then, we develop an integrated form of a cooperative gradual maximal covering ...

A Mathematical Model and Grouping Imperialist Competitive Algorithm for Integrated Quay Crane and Yard Truck Scheduling Problem with Non-crossing Constraint

In this research, an integrated approach is presented to simultaneously solve quay crane scheduling and yard truck scheduling problems. A mathematical model was proposed considering the main real-world assumptions such as quay crane non-crossing, precedence constraints and variable berthing times for vessels with the aim of minimizing vessels completion time. Based on the numerical results, thi...

Solving Traveling Salesman Problem based on Biogeography-based Optimization and Edge Assembly Cross-over

Biogeography-Based Optimization (BBO) algorithm has recently been of great interest to researchers for simplicity of implementation, efficiency, and the low number of parameters. The BBO Algorithm in optimization problems is one of the new algorithms which have been developed based on the biogeography concept. This algorithm uses the idea of animal migration to find suitable habitats for solvin...

A Hybrid Solution Approach Based on Benders Decomposition and Meta-Heuristics to Solve Supply Chain Network Design Problem

Supply Chain Network Design (SCND) is a strategic supply chain management problem that determines its configuration. This mainly focuses on the facilities location, capacity sizing, technology selection, supplier selection, transportation, allocation of production and distribution facilities to the market, and so on. Although the optimal solution of the SCND problem leads to a significant reduc...
