Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we consider a shortest path network interdiction problem with incomplete information and multiple levels of interdiction intensity. The evader knows the attacker's decision on the network arcs that have been interdicted. However, the extent of damage on each arc depends on the interdiction intensity and the amount of budget spent for interdiction. We consider two cases in which the evader has incomplete information about the intensity of attack on the interdicted arcs and the additional cost imposed for traversing those arcs. In the first case, the evader's perception of this cost falls in an interval of uncertainty. In the second case, there are multiple uncertainty sets for the evader's estimates of the additional cost. To handle the uncertainty that arises in both cases, a robust optimization approach is employed to derive the mathematical formulation of underlying bilevel optimization problem. For each case, we first take the well-known duality-based approach to reformulate the problem as a single-level model. In addition, we develop an alternative algorithm based on the decomposition approach. Computational results show that the proposed algorithm obtains the global optimal solution and outperforms the duality-based method. Last, a real case study is presented to show the applicability of the studied problem.

Book excerpt: We study the problem of interdicting components of an adversary's system, e.g., a war-time economy, a transportation network, etc. Basic techniques are developed and illustrated with a simple network interdiction problem, "maximizing the shortest path" (MXSP). In MXSP, an interdictor wishes to employ limited interdiction resources as effectively as possible to slow an adversary in moving between two network nodes. "Interdiction" destroys a network arc entirely or increases its effective length through an attack. This bi-level, max-mm problem is formulated as a mixed-integer program (MIP), but unique decomposition algorithms are developed to solve the problem more efficiently than standard branch and bound. One algorithm is essentially Benders decomposition with special integrality cuts for the master problem. A second algorithm uses a new set-covering master problem, and a third is a hybrid of the first two. We extend our techniques (i) to solve general system-interdiction problems, some of which cannot be formulated as is, (ii) to solve system-defense problems where critical system components must be identified and hardened against interdiction, and (iii) to solve interdiction problems with uncertain interdiction success. We report computational experience for MXSP, a shortest- path network-defense problem and MXSP with uncertain interdiction success.

Download or read book Network Interdiction and Stochastic Integer Programming written by David L. Woodruff and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On March 15, 2002 we held a workshop on network interdiction and the more general problem of stochastic mixed integer programming at the University of California, Davis. Jesús De Loera and I co-chaired the event, which included presentations of on-going research and discussion. At the workshop, we decided to produce a volume of timely work on the topics. This volume is the result. Each chapter represents state-of-the-art research and all of them were refereed by leading investigators in the respective fields. Problems - sociated with protecting and attacking computer, transportation, and social networks gain importance as the world becomes more dep- dent on interconnected systems. Optimization models that address the stochastic nature of these problems are an important part of the research agenda. This work relies on recent efforts to provide methods for - dressing stochastic mixed integer programs. The book is organized with interdiction papers first and the stochastic programming papers in the second part. A nice overview of the papers is provided in the Foreward written by Roger Wets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides resourceful thinking and insightful management solutions to the many challenges that decision makers face in their predictions, preparations, and implementations of the key elements that our societies and industries need to take as they move toward digitalization and smartness. The discussions within the book aim to uncover the sources of large-scale problems in socio-industrial dilemmas, and the theories that can support these challenges. How theories might also transition to real applications is another question that this book aims to uncover. In answer to the viewpoints expressed by several practitioners and academicians, this book aims to provide both a learning platform which spotlights open questions with related case studies. The relationship between Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0 provides the basis for the expert contributions in this book, highlighting the uses of analytical methods such as mathematical optimization, heuristic methods, decomposition methods, stochastic optimization, and more. The book will prove useful to researchers, students, and engineers in different domains who encounter large scale optimization problems and will encourage them to undertake research in this timely and practical field. The book splits into two parts. The first part covers a general perspective and challenges in a smart society and in industry. The second part covers several case studies and solutions from the operations research perspective for large scale challenges specific to various industry and society related phenomena.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 marked the 85th anniversary of Heinrich Freiherr von Stackelberg’s habilitation thesis “Marktform und Gleichgewicht,” which formed the roots of bilevel optimization. Research on the topic has grown tremendously since its introduction in the field of mathematical optimization. Besides the substantial advances that have been made from the perspective of game theory, many sub-fields of bilevel optimization have emerged concerning optimal control, multiobjective optimization, energy and electricity markets, management science, security and many more. Each chapter of this book covers a specific aspect of bilevel optimization that has grown significantly or holds great potential to grow, and was written by top experts in the corresponding area. In other words, unlike other works on the subject, this book consists of surveys of different topics on bilevel optimization. Hence, it can serve as a point of departure for students and researchers beginning their research journey or pursuing related projects. It also provides a unique opportunity for experienced researchers in the field to learn about the progress made so far and directions that warrant further investigation. All chapters have been peer-reviewed by experts on mathematical optimization.

Download or read book Uncertainty in Facility Location Problems written by H. A. Eiselt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with an often-neglected feature of location problems, namely uncertainty, by combining two related fields: location theory and optimization. Written by leading researchers and practitioners in these fields, each chapter examines one aspect of the location process in different contexts, such as supply chains; location decisions under congestion; disaster management; design of resilient facilities; uncertainty in the health sector; and facility location in the retail sector under uncertainty. The book also addresses methodological aspects, such as chance-constrained approaches, heuristic algorithms, scenario approaches, and simulation. As such, it provides decision-makers with essential methods, tools and approaches to help them deal with these uncertainties. It is mainly intended for graduate students in the fields of operations research and logistics, as well as professionals in logistics and supply chain management.
