Evaluation of drone system for thinning operations–a case study in Sweden

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Thinning operations in forestry typically involve a two‐machine system (TMS) with a harvester and a forwarder. Its productivity in different forest conditions is well documented. To date, drones have been used for data collection and surveillance but not as an alternative to a TMS.

Quantum heuristic algorithm for traveling salesman problem

open access: yes, 2012
We propose a quantum heuristic algorithm to solve a traveling salesman problem by generalizing Grover search. Sufficient conditions are derived to greatly enhance the probability of finding the tours with extremal costs, reaching almost to unity and they

Exact and metaheuristic approaches to minimizing makespan in parallel machine scheduling with conflicting jobs

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We address the scheduling conflicting jobs on parallel identical machines problem with makespan minimization, a classical and computationally challenging variant of parallel machine scheduling. We develop and evaluate three distinct solution methodologies: a novel constraint programming (CP) formulation, and two metaheuristics: a multi ...

Optimizing Movement Sequences for Step-and-Scan Lithography Equipment

open access: yesJournal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2013
The purpose of this work is to improve the throughput of step-and-scan lithography equipment to shorten the production time of a wafer. For this purpose, we propose a method for solving the MSOP (Movement Sequence Optimization Problem), which is the ...

Ensuring connectedness for the maximum quasi‐clique and densest k‐subgraph problems

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Given an undirected graph G$G$, a quasi‐clique is a subgraph of G$G$ with density at least γ$\gamma$ (0<γ≤1)$(0 < \gamma \le 1)$. Two optimisation problems can be defined for quasi‐cliques: the maximum quasi‐clique (MQC) problem, which finds a quasi‐clique with maximum vertex cardinality, and the densest k$k$‐subgraph (DKS) problem, which ...

Short Combinatorial Proof that the DFJ Polytope is contained in the MTZ Polytope for the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem

open access: yes, 2017
For the Asymmetric Traveling Salesman Problem (ATSP), it is known that the Dantzig-Fulkerson-Johnson (DFJ) polytope is contained in the Miller-Tucker-Zemlin (MTZ) polytope. The analytic proofs of this fact are quite long.

Keep on Keepin’ on Down Under: Administrative Heritage and the Strategic Realignment of Multinational Enterprises in Australia During Deglobalization, 1914–79

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract We analyse the behaviour of multinational enterprises (MNEs) within a host nation – Australia – during deglobalization (1914–79). Deglobalization is often portrayed as a drastic event to which MNEs respond swiftly, probably through withdrawal from host countries.

Improved Cross Entropy Algorithm for the Optimum of Charge Planning Problem

open access: yesAbstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
To solve the charge planning problem involving charges and the orders in each charge, a traveling salesman problem based charge planning model and the improved cross entropy algorithm are proposed. Firstly, the charge planning problem with unknown charge

THE DUBINS TRAVELING SALESMAN PROBLEM WITH CONSTRAINED COLLECTING MANEUVERS

open access: yesActa Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2016
In this paper, we introduce a variant of the Dubins traveling salesman problem (DTSP) that is called the Dubins traveling salesman problem with constrained collecting maneuvers (DTSP-CM).
