A Parametric Approach to the Bi-criteria Minimum Cost Dynamic Flow Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents an algorithm for solving Bi-criteria Minimum Cost Dynamic Flow (BiCMCDF) problem with continuous flow variables. The approach is to transform a bi-criteria problem into a parametric one by building a single parametric linear cost out of the two initial cost functions. The algorithm consecutively finds efficient extreme points in the decision space by solving a series of minimum parametric cost flow problems with different objective functions. On each of the iterations, the flow is augmented along a cheapest path from the source node to the sink node in the time-space network avoiding the explicit time expansion of the network.

This paper proposes a new integrative view of manufacturing cell formation and both inter-cell and intra-cell layout problems. Cells formation and their popular bi-directional linear layout are determined simultaneously through a Dynamic Programming algorithm (with the objective of minimizing the inter-cell flow cost under a cell size constraint). This Dynamic Programming algorithm is implement...
متن کاملA Novel Experimental Analysis of the Minimum Cost Flow Problem
In the GA approach the parameters that influence its performance include population size, crossover rate and mutation rate. Genetic algorithms are suitable for traversing large search spaces since they can do this relatively fast and because the mutation operator diverts the method away from local optima, which will tend to become more common as the search space increases in size. GA’s are base...
متن کاملOn the Quickest Flow Problem in Dynamic Networks - a Parametric Min-Cost Flow Approach Citation
We consider the quickest flow problem in dynamic networks with a single source s and a single sink t: given an amount of flow F , find the minimum time needed to send it from s to t, and the corresponding optimal flow over time. We introduce new mathematical formulations and derive optimality conditions for the quickest flow problem. Based on the optimality conditions, we develop a new costscal...
