a compact formulation of the set of tours neither in a graph nor its complement is presented and illustrates a general methodology proposed for constructing polyhedral models of decision problems based upon permutations, projection and lifting techniques. directed hamilton tours on n vertex graphs are interpreted as (n-1)- permutations. sets of extrema of birkhoff polyhedra are mapped to tours ...

an interactive heuristic approach can offer a practical solution to the problem of linear integer programming (lip) by combining an optimization technique with the decision maker’s (dm) judgment and technical supervision. this is made possible using the concept of bicriterion linear programming (blp) problem in an integer environment. this model proposes two bicriterion linear programs for iden...

abstract it is the purpose of this article to introduce a linear approximation technique for solving a fractional chance constrained programming (cc) problem. for this purpose, a fuzzy goal programming model of the equivalent deterministic form of the fractional chance constrained programming is provided and then the process of defuzzification and linearization of the problem is started. a samp...

fuzzy linear programming problem occur in many elds such as mathematical modeling, control theory and management sciences, etc. in this paper we focus on a kind of linear programming with fuzzy numbers and variables namely fully fuzzy linear programming (fflp) problem, in which the constraints are in inequality forms. then a new method is proposed to ne the fuzzy solution for solving (fflp). ...

using the mathematic techniques such as fuzzy approach has useful outcomes for production planning in different sources. in this paper lgp1 was used to model the objectives such as: avoidance of shortage or surplus of demand, access to maximum of income, using the normal capacity of production and organizing the inventory of warehouse, within the framework of goal constraints like balancing be...

in this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear programming (abbreviated to fflp) problems. also, we employ linear programming (lp) with equality constraints to find a nonegative fuzzy number vector x which satisfies ax =b, where a is a fuzzy number matrix. then we investigate the existence of a positive solution of fully fuzzy linear system (ffls).

in this paper, we study the classical sensitivity analysis when the right - hand – side vector, and the coefficients of the objective function are allowed to vary.

zinc is the first modelling language which supports solver and technique independence. this means that a high level conceptual model can be automatically mapped into an appropriate low level design model for a specific solver or technique. to date, zinc uses three different techniques to solve a model: constraint programming (cp), local search (ls), and mixed integer programming (mip). in this ...
