چکیده
In the last decade many important applications of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of graphs in combinatorial optimization were discovered. The number and importance of these results is so fascinating that it makes sense to present this survey. ∗This article appeared in Combinatorial and Graph-Theoretical Problems in Linear Algebra, R. A. Brualdi, S. Friedland, V. Klee, Eds., IMA Volumes in Mathematics and Its Applications, Vol. 50, Springer-Verlag, 1993, pp. 107–151.

Optimization of profit and customer satisfaction in combinatorial production and purchase model by genetic algorithm
Optimization of inventory costs is the most important goal in industries. But in many models, the constraints are considered simple and relaxed. Some actual constraints are to consider the combinatorial production and purchase models in multi-products environment. The purpose of this article is to improve the efficiency of inventory management and find the economic order quantity and economic p...
متن کاملFast combinatorial optimization with parallel digital computers
This paper presents an algorithm which realizes fast search for the solutions of combinatorial optimization problems with parallel digital computers.With the standard weight matrices designed for combinatorial optimization, many iterations are required before convergence to a quasioptimal solution even when many digital processors can be used in parallel. By removing the components of the einge...
متن کاملWinner Determination in Combinatorial Auctions using Hybrid Ant Colony Optimization and Multi-Neighborhood Local Search
A combinatorial auction is an auction where the bidders have the choice to bid on bundles of items. The WDP in combinatorial auctions is the problem of finding winning bids that maximize the auctioneer’s revenue under the constraint that each item can be allocated to at most one bidder. The WDP is known as an NP-hard problem with practical applications like electronic commerce, production manag...
متن کاملSelecting Efficient Service-providers in Electric Power Distribution Industry Using Combinatorial Reverse Auction
In this paper, a combinatorial reverse auction mechanism is proposed for selecting the most efficient service-providers for resolving sustained power interruptions in multiple regions of an electric power distribution company’s responsibility area. Through this mechanism, supplying the required service in each region is assigned to only one potential service-provider considering two criteria in...
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...
