Robust flows with adaptive mitigation

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2021
We consider an adjustable robust optimization problem arising in the area of supply chains: given sets of suppliers and demand nodes, we wish to find a flow that is robust with respect to failures of the suppliers.

Discrete Particle Swarm Optimization for the minimum labelling Steiner tree problem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Particle Swarm Optimization is an evolutionary method inspired by the social behaviour of individuals inside swarms in nature. Solutions of the problem are modelled as members of the swarm which fly in the solution space.

Why Optimal States Recruit Fewer Reactions in Metabolic Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The metabolic network of a living cell involves several hundreds or thousands of interconnected biochemical reactions. Previous research has shown that under realistic conditions only a fraction of these reactions is concurrently active in any given cell.

Solving the maximum edge-weight clique problem in sparse graphs with compact formulations

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2015
This paper studies the behavior of compact formulations for solving the maximum edge-weight clique (MEWC) problem in sparse graphs. The MEWC problem has long been discussed in the literature, but mostly addressing complete graphs, with or without a ...

Improving the linear relaxation of maximum k-cut with semidefinite-based constraints

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2019
We consider the maximum k-cut problem that involves partitioning the vertex set of a graph into k subsets such that the sum of the weights of the edges joining vertices in different subsets is maximized.

Low-Degree Spanning Trees of Small Weight [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The degree-d spanning tree problem asks for a minimum-weight spanning tree in which the degree of each vertex is at most d. When d=2 the problem is TSP, and in this case, the well-known Christofides algorithm provides a 1.5-approximation algorithm ...

Evacuation modeling: a case study on linear and nonlinear network flow models

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2016
We present a nonlinear traffic flow network model that is coupled to gaseous hazard information for evacuation planning. This model is evaluated numerically against a linear network flow model for different objective functions that are relevant for ...

Uniqueness of market equilibria on networks with transport costs

open access: yesOperations Research Perspectives, 2018
We study the existence and uniqueness of equilibria for perfectly competitive markets in capacitated transport networks. The model under consideration is rather general so that it captures basic aspects of related models in, e.g., gas or electricity ...

Sink location to find optimal shelters in evacuation planning

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2016
The sink location problem is a combination of network flow and location problems: from a given set of nodes in a flow network a minimum cost subset W has to be selected such that given supplies can be transported to the nodes in W.
