This paper considers the Economic Lot Scheduling Problem, that is, the problem of scheduling several products on a single facility so as to minimize holding and setup costs. Combination of frequency and timing as well as production quantity make this problem Np-hard. A heuristic is developed to obtain a good solution to ELSP. The proposed heuristic makes use of the Simulated Annealing Technique...

although some 3d slope stability algorithms have been proposed in recent three decades, still role of pore pressures in three dimensional slope stability analyses and considering the effects of pore water pressure in 3d slope stability studies needs to be investigated. in this paper, a limit analysis formulation for investigation of role of the pore water pressure in three dimensional slope sta...

In $1994,$ degree distance  of a graph was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman. And Gutman proposed the Gutman index of a graph in $1994.$ In this paper, we introduce the concepts of  multiplicative version of degree distance and the multiplicative version of Gutman index of a graph. We find the sharp upper bound for the  multiplicative version of degree distance and multiplicative ver...

we propose a method of estimation of the derivatives of probability density based on wavelets methods for a sequence of random variables with a common one-dimensional probability density function and obtain an upper bound on lp-losses for such estimators. we suppose that the process is strongly mixing and we show that the rate of convergence essentially depends on the behavior of a special quad...

this paper deals with three-dimensional evaluation of the slopes on the basis of limit analysis. an upper-bound technique of limit analysis is used in this paper to determine either the bearing capacity of a shallow foundation near a slope or the safety factor of the slope. the theorems of limit analysis (upper and lower bound) provide a powerful tool for solving problems in which limit loads n...

While a great portion of the scheduling literature focuses on time-based criteria, the most important goal of management is maximizing the profitability of the firm. In this paper, the net preset value criterion is studied taking account of linear time-dependent cash flows in single machine and flow shop scheduling problems. First, a heuristic method is presented for the single machine scheduli...

In this paper, an upper bound approach is used to analyze the tube extrusion process through rotating conical dies with large mandrel radius. The material under deformation in the die and inside the container is divided to four deformation zones. A velocity field for each deformation zone is developed to evaluate the internal powers and the powers dissipated on all frictional and velocity disco...
