in this paper, according to high load capacity and rather large workspace characteristics of cable driven robots (cdrs), maximum dynamic load carrying capacity (dlcc) between two given end points in the workspace along with optimal trajectory is obtained. in order to find dlcc of cdrs, joint actuator torque and workspace of the robot constraints concerning to non-negative tension in cables are ...

In this paper, a new method is proposed to find the fuzzy optimal solution of fully fuzzy linear Bilevel programming (FFLBLP) problems by representing all the parameters as triangular fuzzy numbers. In the proposed method, the given FFLBLP problem is decomposed into three crisp linear programming (CLP) problems with bounded variables constraints, the three CLP problems are solved separately...

we study the problem of reconstructing binary images from four projections data in a fuzzy environment. given the uncertainly projections,w e want to find a binary image that respects as best as possible these projections. we provide an iterative algorithm based on fuzzy integer programming and linear membership functions.

The article presents a study on a biobjective generalization of the inventory routing problem, an important optimization problem found in logistical networks in which aspects of inventory management and vehicle routing intersect. A compact solution representation and a heuristic optimization approach are presented, and experimental investigations involving novel benchmark instances are carried ...

although several papers have studied no-idle scheduling problems, they all focus on flow shops, assuming one processor at each working stage. but, companies commonly extend to hybrid flow shops by duplicating machines in parallel in stages. this paper considers the problem of scheduling no-idle hybrid flow shops. a mixed integer linear programming model is first developed to mathematically form...

The Colombian coffee supply network, managed by the Federación Nacional de Cafeteros de Colombia (Colombian National Coffee-Growers Federation), requires slimming down operational costs while continuing to provide a high level of service in terms of coverage to its affiliated coffee growers. We model this problem as a biobjective (cost-coverage) uncapacitated facility location problem (BOUFLP)....

Linear assignment problem is one of the most important practical models in the literature of linear programming problems‎. ‎Input data in the cost matrix of the linear assignment problem are not always crisp and sometimes in the practical situations is formulated by the grey systems theory approach‎. ‎In this way‎, ‎some researchers have used a whitening technique to solve the grey assignment p...

Recently, Gasimov and Yenilmez proposed an approach for solving two kinds of fuzzy linear programming (FLP) problems. Through the approach, each FLP problem is first defuzzified into an equivalent crisp problem which is non-linear and even non-convex. Then, the crisp problem is solved by the use of the modified subgradient method. In this paper we will have another look at the earlier defuzzifi...
