Abstract:

In this paper, a fuzzy random minimum cost flow problem is presented. In this problem, cost parameters and decision variables are fuzzy random variables and fuzzy numbers respectively. The object of the problem is to find optimal flows of a capacitated network. Then, two algorithms are developed to solve the problem based on Er-expected value of fuzzy random variables and chance-constrained programming. Furthermore, the results of two algorithms will be compared. An illustrative example is also provided to clarify the concept.

A 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...

The Minimum Universal Cost Flow in an Infeasible Flow Network

In this paper the concept of the Minimum Universal Cost Flow (MUCF) for an infeasible flow network is introduced. A new mathematical model in which the objective function includes the total costs of changing arc capacities and sending flow is built and analyzed. A polynomial time algorithm is presented to find the MUCF.

Capacity inverse minimum cost flow problem

Given a directed graph G = (N,A) with arc capacities uij and a minimum cost flow problem defined on G, the capacity inverse minimum cost flow problem is to find a new capacity vector û for the arc set A such that a given feasible flow x̂ is optimal with respect to the modified capacities. Among all capacity vectors û satisfying this condition, we would like to find one with minimum ‖û− u‖ value....
