Algorithms for minimum flows [PDF]

open access: yesComputer Science Journal of Moldova, 2001
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

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.

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.

Evaluating balancing on social networks through the efficient solution of correlation clustering problems

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2017
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]

open access: yesComputer Science Journal of Moldova, 2005
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

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2004
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

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2019
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 ...

An interior-point method for nonlinear optimization problems with locatable and separable nonsmoothness

open access: yesEURO Journal on Computational Optimization, 2015
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]

open access: yes, 2011
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,
