dynamic economic load dispatch is one of the most important roles of power generation’s operation and control. it determines the optimal controls of production of generator units with predicted load demand over a certain period of time. economic dispatch at minimum production cost is one of the most important subjects in the power network’s operation, which is a complicated nonlinear constraine...

the dynamic facility layout problem (dflp) is the problem of finding positions of departments onthe plant floor for multiple periods (material flows between departments change during the planning horizon)such that departments do not overlap, and the sum of the material handling and rearrangement costs isminimized. in this paper a new optimization algorithm inspired from colonizing weeds, invasi...

abstract one of the basic assumptions in hub covering problems is considering the covering radius as an exogenous parameter which cannot be controlled by the decision maker. practically and in many real world cases with a negligible increase in costs, to increase the covering radii, it is possible to save the costs of establishing additional hub nodes. change in problem parameters during the pl...

in this research optimal reconfiguration strategy of the improved srr reconfigurable mobile robot based on force-angle stability measure has been designed using genetic algorithm. path tracking nonlinear controller which keeps robot’s maximum stability has been designed and simulated in matlab. motion equations of the robot have been derived in parametric form by means of newton- euler, lagrang...

a facility layout problem is concerned with determining the best position of departments, cells, or machines on the plant. an efficient layout contributes to the overall efficiency of operations. it’s been proved that, when system characteristics change, it can cause a significant increase in material handling cost. consequently, the efficiency of the current layout decreases or is lost and it ...

guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of intelligent transportation systems (its). nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. in this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...

cellular manufacturing system (cms) is highly important in modern manufacturing methods. given the ever increasing market competition in terms of time and cost of manufacturing, we need models to decrease the cost and time of manufacturing. in this study, cms is considered in condition of dynamic demand in each period. the model is developed for facing dynamic demand that increases the cost of ...

nowadays, it is common to find optimal point of the dynamic problem; dynamic problems whose optimal point changes over time require algorithms which dynamically adapt the search space instability. in the most of them, the exploitation of some information from the past allows to quickly adapt after an environmental change (some optimal points change). this is the idea underlining the use of memo...

Dynamic lot sizing problem is one of the significant problem in industrial units and it has been considered by  many researchers. Considering the quantity discount in  purchasing cost is one of the important and practical assumptions in the field of inventory control models and it has been less focused in terms of stochastic version of dynamic lot sizing problem. In  this paper, stochastic dyn...
