Multiple Circular Colouring as a Model for Scheduling
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article we propose a new model for scheduling periodic tasks. The model is based on a variation of the circular chromatic number, called the multiple circular colouring of the conflict graph. We show that for a large class of graphs, this new model will provide better solutions than the original circular chromatic number. At the same time, it allows us to avoid the difficulty of implementation when the fractional chromatic number is used.

Integer Decomposition for Polyhedra Defined by Nearly Totally Unimodular Matrices
We call a matrix A nearly totally unimodular if it can be obtained from a totally unimodular matrix à by adding to each row of à an integer multiple of some fixed row a of Ã. For an integer vector b and a nearly totally unimodular matrix A, we denote by PA,b the integer hull of the set {x ∈ R | Ax ≤ b}. We show that PA,b has the integer decomposition property and that we can find a decompositio...
متن کاملMultiple Destination Influence on Production Scheduling in Multi-element Mines
In multi-element deposits, different blocks are blended together to create a product with a predetermined quality. Generally, blending aims to obtain a special quality and quantity based on determining the processing plant or customer needs. However, blending causes different products based on the deposit properties. Thus, a block is blended with others to create one of many possible products. ...
متن کاملA scalarization-based method for multiple part-type scheduling of two-machine robotic systems with non-destructive testing technologies
This paper analyzes the performance of a robotic system with two machines in which machines are configured in a circular layout and produce non-identical parts repetitively. The non-destructive testing (NDT) is performed by a stationary robotic arm located in the center of the circle, or a cluster tool. The robotic arm integrates multiple tasks, mainly the NDT of the part and its transition bet...

In order to reduce costs and increase efficiency of a supply chain system, cross docking is one of the most important strategies of warehousing for consolidation shipments from different suppliers to different customers. Products are collected from suppliers by inbound trucks and then moved to customers by outbound trucks through cross dock. Scheduling of trucks plays important role in the cros...
متن کاملGraph Colouring Problems and Their Applications in Scheduling
Graph colouring and its generalizations are useful tools in modelling a wide variety of scheduling and assignment problems. In this paper we review several variants of graph colouring, such as precolouring extension, list colouring, multicolouring, minimum sum colouring, and discuss their applications in scheduling.
