A Stochastic Knapsack Problem with Continuous Random Capacity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2008
Problem Statement: The problem of allocating a set of items in order to maximize the toal linear profit under uncertain capacity referred as a stochastic knapsack problem with continuous random capacity was studied theoretically and computationally.

Truthful Assignment without Money [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We study the design of truthful mechanisms that do not use payments for the generalized assignment problem (GAP) and its variants. An instance of the GAP consists of a bipartite graph with jobs on one side and machines on the other.

Algorithms for the minimum spanning tree problem with resource allocation

open access: yesOperations Research Perspectives, 2016
We formulate the minimum spanning tree problem with resource allocation (MSTRA) in two ways, as discrete and continuous optimization problems (d-MSTRA/c-MSTRA), prove these to be NP-hard, and present algorithms to solve these problems to optimality.

Packing While Traveling: Mixed Integer Programming for a Class of Nonlinear Knapsack Problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Packing and vehicle routing problems play an important role in the area of supply chain management. In this paper, we introduce a non-linear knapsack problem that occurs when packing items along a fixed route and taking into account travel time.

The Importance of Transfer Function in Solving Set-Union Knapsack Problem Based on Discrete Moth Search Algorithm

open access: yesMathematics, 2018
Moth search (MS) algorithm, originally proposed to solve continuous optimization problems, is a novel bio-inspired metaheuristic algorithm. At present, there seems to be little concern about using MS to solve discrete optimization problems.

Lagrangian based approach to solve a two level capacitated lot sizing problem

open access: yesCogent Engineering, 2015
Two-level, multi-item, multi-period-capacitated dynamic lot-sizing problem with inclusions of backorders and setup times, TL_CLSP_BS, a well-known NP-hard problem, is solved using a novel procedure.

Algorithms for the continuous nonlinear resource allocation problem---new implementations and numerical studies

open access: yes, 2015
Patriksson (2008) provided a then up-to-date survey on the continuous,separable, differentiable and convex resource allocation problem with a single resource constraint.

Experimental study on population-based incremental learning algorithms for dynamic optimization problems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Copyright @ Springer-Verlag 2005.Evolutionary algorithms have been widely used for stationary optimization problems. However, the environments of real world problems are often dynamic. This seriously challenges traditional evolutionary algorithms.

An Adaptive Quantum-inspired Differential Evolution Algorithm for 0-1 Knapsack Problem

open access: yes, 2010
Differential evolution (DE) is a population based evolutionary algorithm widely used for solving multidimensional global optimization problems over continuous spaces. However, the design of its operators makes it unsuitable for many real-life constrained

Probabilistic communication complexity over the reals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Deterministic and probabilistic communication protocols are introduced in which parties can exchange the values of polynomials (rather than bits in the usual setting).
