abstract

in this paper, we consider the fuzzy fixed-charge transportation problem (ffctp). both of fixed and transportation cost are fuzzy numbers. contrary to previous works, electromagnetism-like algorithms (em) is firstly proposed in this research area to solve the problem. three types of em; original em, revised em, and hybrid em are firstly employed for the given problem. the latter is being firstly developed and proposed in this paper. another contribution is to present a novel, simple and cost-efficient representation method, named string representation. it is employed for the problem and can be used in any extended transportation problems. it is also adaptable for both discrete and continues combinatorial optimization problems. the employed operators and parameters are calibrated, according to the full factorial and taguchi experimental design. besides, different problem sizes are considered at random to study the impacts of the rise in the problem size on the performance of the algorithms.

AN ELECTROMAGNETISM-LIKE ALGORITHM FOR FIXED CHARGE SOLID TRANSPORTATION PROBLEM

Fixed charge solid transportation problem (FCSTP) is one of the main and most important problems in transportation and network research areas. To tackle such an NP-hard problem, An Electromagnetism-like algorithm (EM) is employed. To the best of our knowledge, EM has been considered for any kind of transportation problems. Due to the significant role of parameters on the algorithm’s performance...

An Approximation Method for Fuzzy Fixed-Charge Transportation Problem

In this paper, we develop the fuzzy fixed charge transportation problem when the costs are the fuzzy numbers. The first step it transform into the classical fuzzy transportation problem. The next, we obtain the best approximation fuzzy on the optimal value of the fuzzy fixed-charge transportation problem. This method obtains a lower and upper bounds both on the fuzzy optimal value of the fuzzy ...

On approximation of the ‎f‎ully fuzzy fixed charge transportation ‎problem

In the literature hardly any attention is paid to solving a fuzzy fixed charge transportation problem. In this paper, we consider the fully fixed-charge transportation problem and try to find both the lower and upper bounds on the fuzzy optimal value of such a problem in which all of the parameters are triangular fuzzy numbers. To illustrate the proposed method, a numerical example is ‎presented.‎

Lagrangian Relaxation Method for the Step fixed-charge Transportation Problem

In this paper, a step fixed charge transportation problem is developed where the products are sent from the sources to the destinations in existence of both unit and step fixed-charges. The proposed model determines the amount of products in the existing routes with the aim of minimizing the total cost (sum of unit and step fixed-charges) to satisfy the demand of each customer. As the problem i...
