This book was released on 2014 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As our second line of research we consider single-machine scheduling problems with uncertainty in their parameter values. We focus on robust optimization as an appropriate method of dealing with uncertainty in several scheduling environments. We first present a comprehensive survey of robust single-machine scheduling problems, classify the literature, and introduce open problems in this area. This survey proposes the possibility of improving existing robust scheduling models by applying recent developments in robust optimization in this area. Accordingly, as the next step of our research we study a robust single-machine scheduling problem where job processing times are subject to uncertainty with their values belonging to independent continuous intervals. We consider four alternative optimization criteria and apply state-of-the-art robust optimization methods to define three different uncertainty sets. Then, given each combination of objective function and uncertainty set, we explore the problem of determining the worst-case scenario (job processing-time values) corresponding to a given job schedule, and analyze the problem of scheduling jobs to minimize the worst-case objective.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and dis seminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the ac tivity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volume were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 22 (thesis year 1977) a total of 10,658 theses titles from 28 Canadian and 227 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for theses titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 22 reports theses submitted in 1977, on occasion, certain universities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings forth a set of papers presented at the conference on "Varia tional Inequalities and network equilibrium problems", held in Erice at the "G. Stam pacchia" School of the "E. Majorana" Centre for Scientific Culture in the period 19~25 June 1994. The meeting was conceived to contribute to the exchange between Variational Analysis and equilibrium problems, especially those related to network design. Most of the approaches and viewpoints of these fields are present in the volume, both as concerns the theory and the applications of equilibrium problems to transportation, computer and electric networks, to market behavior, and to bi~level programming. Being convinced of the great importance of equilibrium problems as well as of their complexity, the organizers hope that the merging of points of view coming from differ ent fields will stimulate theoretical research and applications. In this context Variational and Quasi~Variational Inequalities have shown them selves to be very important models for equilibrium problems. As a consequence in the last two decades they have received a lot of attention both as to mathematical inves tigation and applications. The proof that the above mentioned equilibrium problems can be expressed, in terms of Variational or Quasi~Variational Inequalities also in the non~standard and non~symmetric cases, has been a crucial improvement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scheduling plays an important role in protocol design and performance optimizations for wireless or wired networks. This dissertation studies how to achieve optimal performance for two fundamental scheduling problems using network flow techniques. The first problem is Maximum lifetime scheduling for roadside networks. In this problem, sensors are deployed along a road to monitor traffic activities. A set of sensors can form a network if their sensing ranges cover the entire road. Since battery-driven sensors have limited lifetime, we need to schedule each sensor between active and sleep modes such that active sensors form a network to monitor the road while sleeping sensors reserve their energy until their turns to become active. At that time, another sensor network is formed to continue to monitor the road. A challenging problem is how to achieve the optimal schedule that the road can be monitored by such sensing networks, one after the other continuously, for a longest time. The previous research only solved a simple case where all sensors are identical initially. This dissertation presents a network flow model to solve the general case where each sensor may have different initial energy. Furthermore this dissertation presents a novel technique to obtain optimal scheduling for the road surveillance problem with survivability k in which the road needs k independent networks to monitor in order to make sensing data reliable. Second, the problem is Maximum Traffic Time-slot Scheduling (MTTS) problem in SS/TDMA satellite systems. This is a historical scheduling problem proposed decades ago. A two-step approach was developed to solve it. However, the Incremental Time-slot Assignment (ITSA) Problem induced in this two-step approach was proved to be NP-hard, which makes the original MTTS problem seem to be NP-hard. In the past decades, the optimal solution of the MTTS problem remains open. In this dissertation, a preprocessing with network flow technique is developed to achieve the optimal scheduling, which optimally solves this open problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Network Flows Perhaps no subfield of mathematical programming is more alluring than network optimization. Highway, rail, electrical, communication and many other physical networks pervade our everyday lives. As a consequence, even non-specialists recognize the practical importance and the wide ranging applicability Of networks. Moreover, because the physical operating characteristics of networks flows on arcs and mass balance at nodes) have natural mathematical representations, practitioners and non-specialists can readily understand the mathematical descriptions of network Optimization problems and the basic nature Of techniques used to solve these problems. This combination of widespread applicability and ease of assimilation has undoubtedly been instrumental in the evolution of network planning models as one Of the most widely used modeling techniques in all of operations research and applied mathematics.

Book excerpt: A detailed and complete guide to exporting, collecting, analyzing, and understanding network flows to make managing networks easier. Network flow analysis is the art of studying the traffic on a computer network. Understanding the ways to export flow and collect and analyze data separates good network administrators from great ones. The detailed instructions in Network Flow Analysis teach the busy network administrator how to build every component of a flow-based network awareness system and how network analysis and auditing can help address problems and improve network reliability. Readers learn what flow is, how flows are used in network management, and how to use a flow analysis system. Real-world examples illustrate how to best apply the appropriate tools and how to analyze data to solve real problems. Lucas compares existing popular tools for network management, explaining why they don't address common real-world issues and demonstrates how, once a network administrator understands the underlying process and techniques of flow management, building a flow management system from freely-available components is not only possible but actually a better choice than much more expensive systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Network flow theory has been used across a number of disciplines, including theoretical computer science, operations research, and discrete math, to model not only problems in the transportation of goods and information, but also a wide range of applications from image segmentation problems in computer vision to deciding when a baseball team has been eliminated from contention. This graduate text and reference presents a succinct, unified view of a wide variety of efficient combinatorial algorithms for network flow problems, including many results not found in other books. It covers maximum flows, minimum-cost flows, generalized flows, multicommodity flows, and global minimum cuts and also presents recent work on computing electrical flows along with recent applications of these flows to classical problems in network flow theory.

This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to provide readers with an introduction to the fields of decision making, location analysis, and project and machine scheduling. The combination of these topics is not an accident: decision analysis can be used to investigate decision seenarios in general, location analysis is one of the prime examples of decision making on the strategic Ievel, project scheduling is typically concemed with decision making on the tactical Ievel, and machine scheduling deals with decision making on the operational Ievel. Some of the chapters were originally contributed by different authors, and we have made every attempt to unify the notation, style, and, most importantly, the Ievel of the exposition. Similar to our book on Integer Programming and Network Models (Eiselt and Sandblom, 2000), the emphasis of this volume is on models rather than solution methods. This is particularly important in a book that purports to promote the science of decision making. As such, advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as weil as practitioners, will find this volume beneficial. While different authors prefer different degrees of mathematical sophistication, we have made every possible attempt to unify the approaches, provide clear explanations, and make this volume accessible to as many readers as possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scheduling Network of Queues: Heavy Traffic Analysis of a Multistation Network With Controllable Inputs Motivated by a factory scheduling problem, we consider the problem of input control (subject to a specified input mix) and priority sequencing in a multistation, multiclass queueing network with general service time distributions and a general routing structure. The objective is to minimize the long - run expected average number of customers in the system subject to a constraint on the long - run expected average output rate. Under balanced heavy loading conditions, this scheduling problem can be approximated by a control problem involving Brownian motion. Linear programming is used to reduce the workload formulation of this control problem to a constrained singular control problem for a multidimensional Brownian motion. The finite difference approximation method is then used to find a linear programming solution to the latter problem. The solution is interpreted in terms of the original queueing system in order to obtain an effective scheduling policy. The priority sequencing policy is based on dynamic reduced costs from a linear program, and the workload regulating input policy releases a customer into the system whenever the workload process enters a particular region. An example is provided that illustrates the procedure and demonstrates its effectiveness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Network Flows and Monotropic Optimization written by R. Tyrell Rockafellar and published by Athena Scientific. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rigorous and comprehensive treatment of network flow theory and monotropic optimization by one of the world's most renowned applied mathematicians. This classic textbook covers extensively the duality theory and the algorithms of linear and nonlinear network optimization optimization, and their significant extensions to monotropic programming (separable convex constrained optimization problems, including linear programs). It complements our other book on the subject of network optimization Network Optimization: Continuous and Discrete Models (Athena Scientific, 1998). Monotropic programming problems are characterized by a rich interplay between combinatorial structure and convexity properties. Rockafellar develops, for the first time, algorithms and a remarkably complete duality theory for these problems. Among its special features the book: (a) Treats in-depth the duality theory for linear and nonlinear network optimization (b) Uses a rigorous step-by-step approach to develop the principal network optimization algorithms (c) Covers the main algorithms for specialized network problems, such as max-flow, feasibility, assignment, and shortest path (d) Develops in detail the theory of monotropic programming, based on the author's highly acclaimed research (e) Contains many examples, illustrations, and exercises (f) Contains much new material not found in any other textbook
