This paper uses the L1−norm and the concept of the non-dominated vector, topropose a method to find a well-dispersed subset of non-dominated (WDSND) vectorsof a multi-objective mixed integer linear programming (MOMILP) problem.The proposed method generalizes the proposed approach by Tohidi and Razavyan[Tohidi G., S. Razavyan (2014), determining a well-dispersed subset of non-dominatedvectors of...

We study a scheduling problem, motivated by air-traffic control, in which a set of aircrafts are about to land on a single runway. When coming close to the landing area of the airport, a set of time windows in which the landing is possible, is automatically assigned to each aircraft. The objective is to maximize the minimum time elapsed between any two consecutive landings. We study the complex...

the heterogeneous fixed fleet open vehicle routing problem (hffovrp) is one of the most significant extension problems of the open vehicle routing problem (ovrp). the hffovrp is the problem of designing collection routes to a number of predefined nodes by a fixed fleet number of vehicles with various capacities and related costs. in this problem, the vehicle doesn’t return to the depot after se...

a considerable problem in competitive trade world is choosing the best supply chain. as a result in much more serious circumstances of competitions looking for the best supplier for manufacturing, for preparing raw material, is very significant. meantime suppliers have different scenarios to be fulfilled, such as changing selection variables like lead-time, transportation cost and transportatio...

network location models comprise one of the main categories of location models. these models have various applications in regional and urban planning as well as in transportation, distribution, and energy management. in a network location problem, nodes represent demand points and candidate locations to locate the facilities. if the links network is unchangeably determined, the problem will be ...

s-The Cyclotomic Polynomial (CP) prefilter design problem is formulated as an optimization problem with linear objective functions by applying the logarithm to the transfer function of the CP prefilter. Then this problem is solved by mixed integer linear programming (MILP). Design examples demonstrate that this method leads to more efficient cascaded FIR prefilter-equalizers than existing methods.

We give a new mixed integer linear programming (MILP) formulation for Maximum Degree Bounded Connected Subgraph Problem (MDBCSP). The proposed MILP formulation is the first in literature with polynomial number of constraints. Therefore, it will be possible to solve optimally much more instances before in a reasonable time.

This paper considers a new canonical duality theory for solving mixed integer quadratic programming problem. It shows that this well-known NP-hard problem can be converted into concave maximization dual problems without duality gap. And the dual problems can be solved, under certain conditions, by polynomial algorithms.
