A cross entropy algorithm for continuous covering location problem
Authors
Abstract:
Covering problem tries to locate the least number of facilities and each demand has at least one facility located within a specific distance.This paper considers a cross entropy algorithm for solving the mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) for covering location model.The model is solved to determine the best covering value.Also, this paper proposes aCross Entropy (CE) algorithm considering multivariate normal density function for solving large scale problems.For showing capabilities of the proposed algorithm, it is compared with GAMS.Finally, a numerical exampleand a case study are expressed to illustrate the proposed model. For case study, Tehran's special drugstores consider and determine how to locate 7 more drugstores to cover all 22 districts in Tehran.

A multiobjective continuous covering location model
This paper presents a multiobjective continuous covering location problem in fuzzy environment. Because of uncertain covering radius, possibility of covering concept is introduced.Since, the uncertainty may cause risk of uncovering customers; the problemis formulated as a risk management model. The presented model is an extension of the discrete covering location models tocontinuous space. Two ...
full textA Constructive Genetic Algorithm for the Maximal Covering Location Problem
The Constructive Genetic Algorithm (CGA) was proposed by Lorena and Furtado [6], as an alternative to the traditional GAs approach. Particularly the CGA directly evaluates schemata, works with a dynamic population size, performs mutation in complete structures, and uses heuristics in schemata and/or structure representation. The schemata are evaluated and can be added to the population if they ...

In this paper, a green transportation location problem is considered with uncertain demand parameter. Increasing robustness influences the number of trucks for sending goods and products, caused consequently, increase the air pollution. In this paper, two green approaches are introduced which demand is the main uncertain parameter in both. These approaches are addressed to provide a trade-off b...

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 ...

15 صفحه اولA cross entropy algorithm for the Knapsack problem with setups
In this article we propose a new metaheuristic-based algorithm for the Integer Knapsack Problem with Setups. This problem is a generalization of the standard Integer Knapsack Problem, complicated by the presence of setup costs in the objective function as well as in the constraints. We propose a cross entropy based algorithm, where the metaheuristic scheme allows to relax the original problem t...
