Algorithms for minimum flows [PDF]
We present a generic preflow algorithm and several implementations of it, that solve the minimum flow problem in O(n2m) time.

Sink location to find optimal shelters in evacuation planning
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.

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

One challenge for social network researchers is to evaluate balance in a social network. The degree of balance in a social group can be used as a tool to study whether and how this group evolves to a possible balanced state.

The maximum flow in dynamic networks [PDF]
The dynamic maximum flow problem that generalizes the static maximum flow problem is formulated and studied. We consider the problem on a network with capacities depending on time, fixed transit times on the arcs, and a given time horizon.

A branch-and-cut algorithm for the target visitation problem
In this paper, we consider the target visitation problem (TVP) which arises in the context of disaster treatment. Mathematically speaking, the problem is concerned with finding a route to visit a set of targets starting from and returning to some base ...

On some interconnections between combinatorial optimization and extremal graph theory [PDF]
The uniting feature of combinatorial optimization and extremal graph theory is that in both areas one should find extrema of a function defined in most cases on a finite set.

Complementarity-based nonlinear programming techniques for optimal mixing in gas networks
We consider nonlinear and nonsmooth mixing aspects in gas transport optimization problems. As mixed-integer reformulations of pooling-type mixing models already render small-size instances computationally intractable, we investigate the applicability of ...

Many real-world optimization models comprise nonconvex and nonsmooth functions leading to very hard classes of optimization models. In this article, a new interior-point method for the special, but practically relevant class of optimization problems with

Sum-of-squares clustering on networks [PDF]
Finding p prototypes by minimizing the sum of the squared distances from a set of points to its closest prototype is a well-studied problem in clustering, data analysis and continuous location. In this note, this very same problem is addressed assuming,
